Gotti was jealous that Frank got the peach tree seeds first even though John was given the first ten peaches that fell from the tree.

We're yet to see the tie-ins to the whole admin getting hit here. What is the evidence/link to Mush, Claw and consig getting hit with charges? Bug?

Also point should be noted that we have a consig and captain who werent even on our lists (no disrespect to P). Coupled with the major changes to the Lukes list post Pennisi this illustrates how far behind the current times we can be.
We dont even have the names on the made members list of a captain and the consig, of the colombos? Imagine where we are the the Westside.
Food for thought.

They are all on tape.

The extortion has been overseen by various senior members of the Colombo crime family at different points in time. Based on early wiretap interceptions by the government, among other evidence, from at least September 2020 until approximately November 2020, consigliere DiMatteo oversaw the infiltration of the Labor Union and Health Fund, speaking and meeting regularly with Vincent Ricciardo about the crime. In mid-October, while Vincent Ricciardo met with DiMatteo, they placed a call to a telephone used by Russo (RD #758). While the telephone was ringing, and in the background, DiMatteo and Ricciardo can be heard talking with one another about how to pressure one of the consultants to the Health Fund who held valuable contracts that the administration was looking to re-bid and collect money from. During this conversation, Vincent Ricciardo told DiMatteo: “I got every-, I got where he lives, his social security number. He lives in his house, his wife’s social security number. Big house.” Thus, Vincent Ricciardo appeared to have done research on the consultant in order to be able to go physically threaten him or his family, similarly to John Doe #1. When Russo came on to the phone, DiMatteo told him, “Monday, nobody’s around” and then said, “I’m probably gonna take a ride with him anyway . . . . Just to see, just to see what’s going on.” After Russo responded in Italian, DiMatteo said, “I don’t know yet. We’re gonna go over it now,” which was a reference to DiMatteo and Vincent Ricciardo discussing the Labor Union and Health Fund.
It's a new morning in America... fresh, vital. The old cynicism is gone. We have faith in our leaders. We're optimistic as to what becomes of it all. It really boils down to our ability to accept. We don't need pessimism. There are no limits.

Has anything come out about how or when DiMatteo got the position of Consigliere? Was he appointed, or voted in traditionally?

The voting in thing (for Consigliere) went out the window decades ago.

This reminds me of the story of Gene Borello showing up to court to support some of his Gambino buddies and telling the AUSA to suck his dick.

Hootie told some old timer he knew Gene and that he was a lunatic. And apparently the old timer told Hootie to “tell Gene to keep his mouth shut. He’s gonna get us all a ton of fucking time”. LOL.

Was DiMatteo based in Florida? The press release has him living in NY. Caepci said he was taking a trip to Florida when the indictment came down.

His attorney Matthew Mari was negotiating his surrender. He is vacationing in Florida it seems.

I kind of like it when stuff like this happens and we get updates on Admin / Capo positions - seeing guys that we didn't know about holding certain positions. Even though it happens after the fact, it's always great to get a chart and crew succession update.

I also always remembered Uvino's name being tied to speculation about him having a higher position. Capo...possible Administration... only to find out he was a Solider. No judgement to anybody, speculation is fun. I was definitely somebody who speculated that he'd be in a bigger role than what he was indicted as
