They tried to spread out as evenly as they could to 6 made guys to a crew. Think the reasoning was that there was a lot of jealousy within the family and as a way to keep things as even as possible. Seems like socialism had crept into the Colombo family
Yeah this was very interesting. It seemed like the Colombos would move people to different crews the most too.

Yeah, although I think I meant the Genovese would split crews alot, while the members within the original crew would stay more or less the same. The Colombos would transfer people to different crews more often, and I think even assign new capos who weren't originally from that crew?

Like Gatto, Bruschi's exact status has been a little confusing. In his 2003 bust, or or two articles listed him as a captain. So did the 2004 NJ report, which did have errors. But then in 2005, when he was indicted with Dentico, it was Dentico who was listed as a captain. This is what it said about Bruschi...

Defendant LUDWIG BRUSCHI, also known as “NINNY,” was associated with the Genovese Crime Family and was involved in the operation of the illegal numbers operation.

If Bruschi was an acting captain, that would help narrow things down a bit.

Well, like Gatto and Bruschi, Borelli is also dead of course. According to the 2004 report, Borelli was helping run part of the crew at the time. And that was before DePiro even really popped up on the scene. DePiro is still technically a soldier, unless I'm mistaken.
I believe Ninny was indicted or mentioned in Dentico's Indictment because Dentico's crew was using Ninny's book from what I remember.? No ? DePiro is a soldier last time I checked. I believe Coppola will take over when he gets out in a yr or two. But who knows? After Tino died things in the crew could have changed allot. NY leadership could have put a new capo in ?

Yeah, DePiro is a soldier last I saw. Coppola would seem to have seniority in the crew and next in line. DePiro simply became the point guy on the waterfront. And his detention memo said his rise was due, in part, to Coppola's absence.

Capeci has him as a capo.
And their niece, Michele Caruso, is the wife of Genovese capo Stephen (Beach) DePiro, who was convicted of being a Cernadas partner in a 30-year-long shakedown of Christmastime "tributes" from 1235 members that netted about $3 million for the crime family.

Could very well be that Beach is Capo. If you do some research on him going back to the 98ish... He was Coppola's right hand man while on the run and he was also attached at Tino's hip when he got out and Coppola was in the wind.
