Is Ernie Aiello related to Ace?

[Nurzhamba]

I'm also wondering if he's related to Ace?

[JakeTheSnake630]

A lot of collaboration between the Bonannos and Colombos, would it be a good move if the Bonanno's merged with Colombos? Numbers wise it might make them the biggest family right? Does anyone think that could realistically happen?

Respectfully, why merge? For so many reasons I just don’t see it. Nobody goes to the mattresses anymore (even though I have a top of the line posturepedic in my house) so family size isn’t as important. Also, look at the bonannos under Massino, they were the most powerful family. Plus, if you’re in the admin of either one, why do it? Most won’t hold the same position, power, or make as much money. It wouldn’t make much sense.

I get what you're saying and I agree to an extent. At some point a family will go extinct though right? You think there will be a big enough recruitment pool in 50 years to support 5 families in NYC? Sooner or later numbers will dwindle and what's left will have to come together to survive.

I don’t think so, Aiello is a fairly common surname up and down the boot.

[outfit guy]

I mean she don’t like that bad to me. I bet she looks way better in person.

I concur; betting she's fairly sexy in person.

[Ivan]

She's better looking than Gloria Olarte, FWIW.

BTW Scott has posted a couple retractions/corrections based on what came out of Gangland this week.

[SonnyBlackstein]

Not to beat the Scott drum but it is telling to the credibility of his previous claims that none of the material used by the G in Macuso's VOSR evidentiary hearing referenced any of his controversial claims: hit teams, meets with Indelicato, Mannino, shootings, Msgs from Bellomo, safe houses, Aiello as UB, Badalamenti etc etc.

Capeci not reporting in months and a VOSR hearing with the fed presenting evidence of Mancuso's violations (meets: Uvino, Spirito, Fasitta, Vinny Unions, Aiello, Russo, Delfranco), phone calls with Asaro, Unions etc etc and simply zero reference to any SB claim.

If 4 months of no word from Capaci and a VOSR evidence hearing don't put certain claims to bed, I don't know what will.

Thanks for the post. Great pics.

Love the Bonannos. Guys been out for less than 2 years and we have pics, phone calls, video, rats and know 2/3 the official admin.

Did Mancuso think the feds wouldn't follow the official Boss on his Supervised release? Unbelievable.

Barney's time is coming. They must be following him everywhere he goes. They must be doing everything in there will to get someone close to him. Never mind the first time in along time there's whole administration's of family's on the street up and down the east coast. The 5 families. New england and Philly and New Jersey. Yaeh we know never will have the power but since they made gambling legal they'll have to adapt

Nice. Best GL I can remember in a long time.

If Bellomo's girl is 50 in that photo, she looks really good for her age. She probably looks a lot better when she's not making that unfortunate facial expression in the pic, as well. Looks like the typical suburban NYC area girl where you can't really tell if they are Italian or Jewish until you either learn their last name, or witness them cook.

I also love Garaufis' nitpicking over everything and the fact that they still haven't figured out a punishment yet for Mancuo's violation. The eye doctor meetups wasn't really that bad of an idea. If it weren't for that snitch, there's still a shred of plausibility for being at the eye doctors at least, probably a little bit more than all being photographed together and dinners and pre-planned events. Just a shred of plausibility though lol.

From the pic of everyone at that party, it appears that Vinny Unions hasn't purchased new clothes in about 40 years

Lots of them are actually "Jewtalian" hybrids, yes?

Agreed she looks good for her age. And the photo is badly lit, with her pulling an awkward face.

Vinny Unions is the biggest joke last 20 years.

75 (guess, but close). Been in the life 40+ years, gets a bump to a Caporegime and flips over a 2/3 yr union racket. Dinners with Mancuso, a boss.

Colombos, all fams, have to be going, who the f can we trust....

A member of the Genovese Family administration has not even been indicted during the past 10 years.
Barney’s been at the top since 2014, well some years around that. There’s no indication that his time is coming

It’s Koslosky and Ferrara that have flipped, there’s no mention about Vinny Unions going bad.
