His wife probably told him the same thing that’s why he shot her

I think Aiello was basically a kid running a gelato parlor with his girlfriend back when the 2009 Bonnano hit went down . But a short 5'ish years later he was an acting captain . I forget when it came out that he got made, maybe 2012? It was a part of one of Zoccolillo's testimonies. It's amazing there are still a good number of guys loyal to Mancuso. We already know that Spirito Junior allegedly made a ton of guys and they ultimately weren't recognized... I wonder if that was or still is happening between both factions? Surely the guys under/behind Joe C didn't just accept his shelving and fall in line behind Mancuso, I'm speculating they set up their own new admin or at worst, continuing with whatever they were doing and trying to stay out of the way. The Queens -> Long Island guys in that family seem to have a lot more juice and money than the small Bronx faction (who has members technically living in Queens itself)

Mancuso might actually be retarded

And another thing

A veteran mob lawyer who has represented mobsters from all five families said a "sensible" solution would be for the Commission to "put the whole Bonanno crime family on the shelf

I doubt that Capeci’s source knows about the state of the commission more than we do on here, but I guess that it’s reasonable to say that bossess of all families will want to have a say in how to resolve that matter. I doubt that anyone wants hits to go down in this day and age. If they do go down, it’s a good possibility that there’s little to no coordination in modern lcn.

Aiello started telling Zoccolillo he was made in 2009, so it lines up with the Seccafico murder. According to the state indictment against Nicky Santora, Aiello was his Acting Captain sometime between 2010 and 2012. Probably back in 2010 because by late 2011 he was an official Captain according to Lovaglio.

Lovaglio also has Aiello briefly serving as Acting Consigliere in 2012.

Jesus... that's kinda crazy

Sending a 65 years old Captain to administer a beating. What's he gonna do? Gum the guy to death. They must be scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Hey, Sirico was 65 years old in the last season of the Sopranos

[Tonyd621]

I see a 1991-1993 Columbo war brewing. The "thinning of the herd" is timely for the Bonanno family and I especially want to see Johnny Joe Spirito gone forever!

Why do you want to see him gone forever?

[Tonyd621]

Finally a good gangland.
I wonder why Balsamo is electing to go to trial. I know he's a repeat offender but he can't be looking at that much time. When was the last time a Genovese got over 5 years in prison?

[Waingro]

Interesting read. Thanks for posting a good one.

Mancuso sent him for a reason and it’s not because he’s a frail old man with no teeth, it’s because he’s a legitimate tough guy who would fight anyone anywhere at the drop of a hat.

Cross-posted the mugshots for Spirito Jr. and Dino Cammarano. First time I've seen them:

viewtopic.php?p=234410#p234410

Thanks for sharing, but I think we'd rather see the "after" photos

Seriously though, while it looks like Mancuso has two choices, either retaliate or put it to rest for giving an unreasonable order based on his own personal pettiness, Cammarano obviously has friends with muscle who could launch a preemptive strike against his former boss before he comes after them. While less probable, it's certainly possible and could be a wise decision from their point of view. Either that or go to the feds.

He could be playing the waiting game until a more friendly plea deal is presented. How long were each of his previous convictions? I’m not sure what he ended up pleading/being convicted of but I believe one of them was related to cocaine/drug distribution/trafficking (in addition to other charges) so I would imagine that was probably his longest sentence to date

[Wiseguy]

While this would usually blow over nowadays, honestly I would be little concerned if I were the Cammaranos. Not only did you make the boss (who seems a little unhinged) lose face, you (and outsiders) beat up the son of another influential member. As others have pointed out, we saw what happened to Seccafico after he slapped Spirito Jr.
