I used too take out knock down loans all the time...borrow 1k pay back $100 a wk for 13 wks. I would do this around Christmas time or go on vacation, now if you miss a week it becomes a straight juice loan depending on your relationship with your guy. My friends would put their entire vacation on credit cards and get banged out all year long trying to pay it back.

If Fillipelli and crew are Queens based its most likely Whitestone/Bayside/Astoria those areas , But I doubt he's Queens based , I'd say Westchester and the Bronx and Jersey

I think you may be right about Westchester - went through one of the recent articles again and Capeci said he's based in Armonk.

Yeah I didn't remember him being with Queens guys, He was always Bronx and Westchester NJ Conn etc..Seems like those guys up there are running the show these days ,The feds are all over them up there

I think a clarification needs to be made though. According to Capeci, Filipelli lives in Armonk. Apparently that's why he labeled him an "Armonk-based skipper."

Except I don't think where a captain lives is necessarily the most accurate criteria to determine where his crew is based. More appropriate, in my opinion, is where the majority of their activity is. Not that he isn't active in Westchester but he seems to be just as active in New York City proper, with all the construction and what not. Armonk is pretty far up there and I don't think the bulk of his crew's activity is that far north.

funzi sisca is a bronx jersey guy. what queens crew did he run?
