Wonder what happened to all those guys and crews from the 90's

Didn't someone say on the stand that Basciano's nickname was Vinny Pills? Also it was always rumored and alleged that his son was the one moving the pot and pills for him. I have a hard time believing that though due to the timeframe

Richard Cantarella?

Former Bonanno acting boss Vincent “Vinny Gorgeous” Basciano didn’t always have such a stylish nickname – at one time, he was known as “Vinny Pills,” a witness at his murder and racketeering trial said yesterday.

Former underboss Richard “Shellackhead” Cantarella told jurors a mobster once had come looking for Basciano and referred to him with the strange new moniker.

When Cantarella asked him why he’d given Basciano such a nickname, the mobster said matter-of-factly, “That’s where I buy my pills from.”
