I agree. I'm not well versed enough to have a strong opinion on the matter but as we now there is a narrative out there.

I prefer you guys being careful rather than speculative. There's enough content out there like that, it what makes TMA stand out from other content makers. Keep the show grounded, we can speculate on the forums.

Since Marino was at the Spilotro killing he may have been made before June 1986. It's likely that everyone present was made since it was supposed to be an initiation.
That's what I thought as well. Seemed odd that only 1 associate would be included.

Great podcast guys. Very interesting 1990s Administration breakdown. Between Nicks testimony and Franks prison conversations, your explanation of the Administration is very solid. I have personally thought it was possible that DiFronzo was never official boss. I have lived In Chicago suburbs all my life, and yes to Eric asking about DiFronzo. The media always referred to him as boss. All the way till he died. I thought that he could have been boss, consiglieri or just a powerful capo. But what about Frank saying Johnny didn't want the job and the pancake flipper has it.

According to Frank Jr, that was concerning Elmwood Park Capo spot.

Ok thanks. It does make sense that both DiFronzo and Andriachi were acting bosses. I know we discussed that before about the CC saying that DiFronzo was boss in the early 90s, before Carlisi was imprisoned. Actually I think he was also rumoured to be boss in the late 80s too
