Colombo family boss, 11 others busted in NYC mob sweep: feds

New JP reaction video up, reminding us Ricciardo was in the car on the attempted vito guzzo revenge hit.

Pennisi has been throwing cold water on the idea that “Colombos are weak and on their last leg” for a while now.

Indeed. Continues to say they'll bounce back even after this.

Where does this leave Alphonse "Allie Boy" Persico's status then? If Russo is now the official Boss, what the use in a prisoner having the role of an "Acting Boss"?

It's hard for me to believe the Allie isn't official boss. If he isn't official boss, then he isn't anything, other than a soldier. Unless one of his relatives on the street is taking care of him, he probably doesn't have anything coming to him.

Looking at this indictment, + Amato + thomas farase, they bounced back well after the 2011 indictment.

The NY families are virtually indestructible from a purely law enforcement standpoint. RICO indictments, informants, etc. certainly help by speeding the process along but its ultimately a slow waiting game for attrition to do its job.

Well IMO opinion you can’t really compare the 2011 case to this one. You had multiple murders along with 3 capos becoming informers. This is a relatively easier indictment. Bigger problem are that these guys are older and even with a plea they look like they will die in prison

Farese was in his own indictment a few months ago in a Healthcare scam that made millions upon millions. He's doing more then well. It was an arrest separate from your typical OC indictment.

[Amershire_Ed]

I’m curious if Ricciardo or Pagano will face any internal discipline from their respective borgatas for the “marijuana trafficking” charge. Or if no one really cares anymore.

[OcSleeper]

They've never cared

I think this is probably accurate.

These indictments are hitting the actual family structure hard, but to the degree to which the deeper set of relationships (familial, social, business, racket-based) upon which the mafia depends and through which it exerts its influence are maintained, they will continue to bounce back. To use the botanical metaphor, they’ve chopped a good deal of the trunk and branches off but so long as some soil and roots remain it will grow back. Those latter factors remain, though it remains to be seen how long those networks will remain viable enough to reproduce a formal mafia structure for the family. I wouldn’t bet on the Colombos going the way of the Dodo (or Pittsburgh et al) any time in the immediate future.

Capeci has been reporting Andy Russo as the acting boss for the last year or so. He also did another article where he said the next official boss was likely Teddy jr or Joe Waverly.

It looks like Joe Waverly will have his day in the sun.

[Ryan98366]

HAHA Kenji said Teddy would take the bait again,

This guy literally can’t stay out of jail what’s the longest he’s been on the streets in the past 30 years? Unreal

I wouldn’t want to share a cup of coffee with Skinny Teddy, I might get indicted with him. This guy is a jailbird. Fucker can’t jaywalk without being arrested.

He’s jinxed.

Skinny Teddy hasn’t had sex with a woman in 30 years. He’s a joke.

Except for Bella Donna.

Andy Russo has as much chance of flipping as R Kelly does hosting the Teen Choice Awards
