Anthony Grado for the Lucchese family maybe? Pennisi said he was shelved in one of his Scarpo interviews, though that was ~ 5 years ago

Jimmy Perrone was shelved by the Genovese family years ago. He moved up state and has stayed there ever since. According to Pennisi Mario Cassarino was shelved by the Gambinos for trying to kill himself while in prison.

Thanks. Fo you know the reason why Perrone was shelved?
The Gambino maybe seen the Cassarino attempt suicide as weakness?

Perrone went to a sit down and the guys he was meeting with could tell he was on drugs. Word got back to chin and he told Ciro Perrone to get rid of him or they would. Ciro banned Jimmy from the neighborhood and he went to live up state.

Do you remember when he said that? The BOP inmate tracker said he was released in 2010 and he was at that Gambino family party from a few years ago pictured on this forum.

That was mancuso making sure that there was no takeover now that he was out of prison.

His reason was the last trial made them look weak bc they kept switching titles and referenced as “musical chair admin”

He said it on a MBA & button man podcast. Weren't those pictures from 2017? He might have been off the shelf by then.

I don’t think Joey Chang is shelved. I think he just retired after he became disabled.

He was shelved by Natale in the mid-90s.
