Wasn’t Stanfa made in Sicily? He was heavily connected to the Sicilians and was accepted in Philly as a favor to the Gambino’s if I remember correctly.
Become the Bruno driver but nothing more. When Bruno was killed in 1980 he was still an associate but I can't find a list of Philly inductions list to say when he was exactly made.
Stanfa was made by then. Pretty sure B. had something about Bruno being made prior to being with Philadelphia.

So for you Stanfa was made in 1960s despite the book was closed?

Stanfa was likely made before he came over

Stanfa was made before he came over to Philly and was inducted or transferred into the Philly family, likely in the 70's. He was never Bruno's driver but he was recognized member of the philly family. There was a reason John Gotti went to Nick Scarfo to get Stanfa a pass. He never would have been put up for boss by the Gambinos if he hadn't been made into the Philly family by Bruno.

Should be Castellano to ask a pass for Stanfa? Bruno was killed in 1980 and the driver was Stanfa that made nothing to save the boss.

Gotti got Stanfa a pass after he was released from prison in 1989.

No. Stanfa had to walk home. Eleven fucking miles from Essex Fells back to Newark.

As far as I’m concerned Merlino is a gangster but he’s hardly LCN. He had an instagram account. Enough said? His family is like a College Fraternity
Plenty of mob guys are on social media these days. Genovese soldier Salvatore Larca had a Facebook page, although he seems to have taken it down or made it private. As long as they're not posting anything incriminating it doesn't really matter.
Tony Mucci, Nick Cotroni, Frank Cotroni Jr, Frank Albanese, Donald Driver and a bunch of serious Montreal guys have Facebook accounts as well. Mucci even posts daily inspirational quotes.
You guys are missing my point. You’re giving names because they have membership but it’s another example of the changing culture within LCN. Nobody should have a social media in LCN.
I’m sure they’d be saddened to hear they didn’t meet your LCN requirements.
Do you think anybody who was a boss in the 80s when they were still successful would approve? Considering their declining power perhaps LCN is taking itself less seriously (which it definitely does now).
None of this shit was around in the 80s. It’s not like those guys weren’t all congregating and taking pictures with each other. These guys are posting pictures of themselves out to dinner or down the shore; they’re not taking a pinch for that.

Imagine the tik toks @TeflonDon would put out.
I didn't torture the kid, didn't do nuttin like that. Shot him a couple times and he died.

Joey was meeting in a secret section of a cigar store with J Chang and two feds were there doing surveillance. He is smart but hubris is the fall of man.

I’m pretty sure it wasn’t even Feds that jammed him up at that cigar club down there, I’m pretty sure like 90% sure that it was fucking Broward County Sheriffs Tailing him that night that reported the meeting with Johnny Chang. They must have been so hard with that bust catching a flashy Yankee Mobster from the North! They’re probably still talking about that bust…..
