I agree with Snakes that DiFronzo’s member status is questionable. He’s a possibility, sure, but I don’t consider him a confirmed member.
Thanks, every time I try look the guy up, all I find is stuff about his brothers or the occasional mention of his case in the 1990s.

There was an article from the Inquirer at the time of the Ligambi trial where one of their reporters (not Anastasia) wrote that Michael Orlando said Al Lance was made. However, I've seen some of Orlando's testimony and when talking about the Lancellottis he only identifies Michael Lancellotti as made. I can't say for sure because I haven't specifically seen the testimony from that day but I suspect the reporter misinterpreted what Orlando said. I put Al Lance under suspected because that article is the only source I can find for his membership
I think I sent you the Orlando transcripts, if not let me know I have a ton of disorganized transcripts from that trial
Good to hear from you, yeah thanks again for all the work you did getting that testimony. I checked my files and I have Orlando's testimony in the 2012 trial on Oct 25-26, but I don't have his testimony from 2013 on Dec 12

For theDeCavlacantes can add Francesco “Frank the Painter” Paparatto/83. You can subtract James Gallo. He died in 2019. Nicholas Cottone died 20220. Schifillitti was still alive as of about a year ago.


Frank Nigro is 68. Dominick Colletti is 59. Giacomo Colletti is 74. Michael Merlo is 69/70. Nicholas LaMela 87/8.


Likely Members:
Robert Collina
Jerry Constabile
Frank Renda


All were Identified as a proposed memebers in the late 1990s. We know the family inducted 12 new members from 2000-2006. These guys were most likely among them or were made later on.

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.

Thanks. I had seen an obituary posted but wasn't sure if it was the correct person.

Thank you for the updated ages. Did not realize that Gallo and Cottone had both died.

My position is that we shouldn't expect that government-revealed names are necessarily comprehensive. Some people get the wrong idea about that.

Ivan wrote: Fri Mar 10, 2023 6:32 am I think Rosario Bellocchi was made before he flipped.

Who are Robert Paleo, David Pepicelli, Paul Pepicelli, Paul Tanso, Nicholas Cimino, Louis DeAngelo, and Vito Malgeri? Have never heard of these guys.
Bellocchi wanted to be made but wasn't.

Paleo, the Pepicellis, and Tanso were part of the Boston crew. Tanso was co-hosting Luisi's YouTube show for a while until they had a big falling out. The Pepicellis are Luisi's cousins. Paul Pepicelli was acting captain of the crew whenever Luisi was out of town.

Cimino is a bookmaker who got pinched in a state gambling case in the 2000s. Lou Monacello testified that Borgesi wanted to propose Cimino for membership because he was a good earner.

Vito Malgeri is with the North Jersey crew. On the tapes made by Nick Stefanelli, Malgeri's name came up. He was around Vincent Centorino but Licata was going to take him and put him with Fazzini so they could see whether or not they wanted to propose him for membership.

Louis DeAngelo is in a lot of recent surveillance footage and photographs. Dave Schratwieser described him as a 'foot soldier'. His son is a professional hockey player.
What was Paul and Bobby's falling out over?

I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but I have a question: is the L.A. family considered an independent family or with Tommy Gambino's alleged tenure did they become part of the Gambino family?

Florida
• Vincent LoScalzo, 86
• Antonio Amorelli, 70s
• Joseph DiGerlando, 86
• Frank Albano, 84
Not totally sure if you're just going based off if they're alive or dead, but Florida is basically totally inactive from what I know.. LoScalzo stepped up as the boss but is reported to be living a normal life, and I haven't seen anything about the other members taking a leadership role
Other than this, great information!
