Seized Bonanno Family Induction List

[Pmac2]

Are the guys name on the right side the proposed and the left the deceased? So this guy Mike p was inducted over 20 years ago. He was pretty young. What early mid 30tys. According to every rat every guy except them bought there button. Who cares

[Pmac2]

Seized list of Proposed Bonanno Family Wiseguys, I recognize Michael Palmaccio's name, but not the others. According to an FBI Informant, Palmaccio got straighened out after paying Vinnie Asaro $50,000

this shouldn't be a surprise. Sometimes guys get strommed for their own protection like a certain bookmaker from around Carmine Street area orignially, now Long Island.

If I remember right Dominick Cirillo had a Genovese list in his home when he was raided by the Feds. I don't know why these guys keep several year old lists. Stupid.

Moronic- i;d burn that shit immediately unless they neeed to reference them later. I'd be so paranoid as a cn guy. id always throw everythign i could away, be in constant worry about the law, getting clipped if some neantherthal looked at me a little weird. that's not counting if I got sent for. I WOULD NOT do well with late night phoen calls to get out of bed and meet 3 goons from Queens. much better to just do the right thing. so much more profitable, too

Why keep a handwritten list with dead members anyway, you can just look up your family's blackhand chart

What's the specific source on Palmaccio paying for membership?

Agreed. First I heard of it. Palmaccio looks like he barely has $50. Let alone $50,000.

The informant must be Borello

Gambino member Frank Radice is another guy that reportedly bought his button. Ironically it was because of Ronnie G.

[Old Schooled]

FBI Informant Gene Borrello is the source, the reason i would be more inclined to believe that, is that Palmaccio has a well known reputation as a money guy who bought his button as they say. To be clear i didnt mean it as in Vinnie said pay me $50,000 and ill induct you, it was more likely that Palmaccio, who was allegedly a large scale pill dealer like Nicky Festa, started kicking up big amounts of money and Asaro wanted to put him in his crew to protect the earn as they say. I speak to Mikey P on social media and I asked him if he had seen the interview where Borrello claims that he paid Vinnie $50,000 to get put in...and he became real defensive and wrote a big response talking about embarassing stuff that Genie never mentioned in his interviews...which i took as yes he got in after paying Vinnie a large amount of money...but thats just my opinion based on his reaction, his reputation and what ive heard from other people in the life. I guess being an earner is the point after all...so you cant really judge a guy who did what their supposed to do...he showed himself to be a top earner and they saw his potenial and value to the family

Wasn’t Asaro always a brokester, wouldn’t surprise me

Can you post Palmaccio’s Facebook post talking about Gene?

[Pmac2]

I'm surprised massino and Vitale weren't picky by 2001 on who was getting made. The family was at its peak probaly the number 2 family. How were guys getting proposed they didn't know alittle about especially there queens guys

[Pmac2]

Makes me think he bought his button is bullshit. He was a huge earner makes more sense

[PaddyWhack]

Gene always turned his nose up to guys who earned without “violence”.

Asaro was broke as shit in the 2015 indictment and was resorting to robbing drug dealers as a 80 yr old man and was seriously considering robbing a truck with his geriatric cousin so I don’t really doubt the story even if it comes from borello
