Any details on the Vincent Badalamenti crew?

Post by InCamelot »

Soldiers I've found so far digging around the forum are

Attanasio brothers
Anthony Calabrese
Vito Balsamo
Vincent Amarante

Any other details on their activities, background info, etc? Especially for Calabrese and Balsamo.

Peter Calabrese was another member of that crew.

In 2005 all of the members of Dominick Cicale's crew were reassigned to Badalamenti. The Cicale crew at that time had also absorbed the Coppa crew and part of the Cantarella crew. Some guys who were part of the crew at that time included:

Nicholas Pisciotti (later flipped)
Michael DeMaria
Frank Coppa Jr
Joseph Lino
Gino Galestro

Add that to however many guys Badalamenti already had it looks like he had a pretty sizeable crew at that point

Vinny TV. Mancuso guy. Played a big role in the recent faction dispute.

Youre thinking of Baldassare Amato?

He’s probably thinking of Gaetano Badalamenti.

He’s probably the top Banana in Brooklyn, either #2 or #3 behind Mancuso.

It's possible he's the current consigliere. When the family was split, Badalamenti was consigliere of the Mancuso faction and was Mancuso's main man on the streets representing his interests.

I would be very surprised if he's not part of the administration.

If he doesn't have at least a 60 inch in his house they outta change his nickname. Imagine if vinny TV had one of those old bulky TV still, but it's too heavy to move by himself but he can't call one of his associates bc then they will find out what TV he has and it will damage his reputation...what is vinny TV to do?
