Michael DeSantis (charged with Zappola, Spinelli, Casso etc in 92) was released in 2010.

Anyone know if he's active/ status etc?
(We keep hearing of Conte, Zappola, Bones etc being released but nothing on this guy)

I don't belive that they were outsiders,so to say.The Vario crew was very powerfull and always was.East NY/Brownsville and Canarsie was a big big area not to mention the suronding parts of Queenns etc,and Paul kind of ruled that area.I dont understand how Vasso didn't tell who some of the memmbers were in his crew.It had to be a 15-20 made man crew.Do you agree?

I don't mean outsiders in the sense that they weren't respected or known to other members, only in the sense that they weren't a huge part of the power structure and did their own thing.

Unfortunately there isn't much info out there that I know of about Curiale when he was an active capo. Just that bit about Paul Vario going to see him in a bakery (and Curiale isn't even named) to get approval to propose a new member (who would turn out to be an informant) and D'Arco giving second or third hand info about him. Yet the guy was a captain for decades.

Yes I get what you mean.Paul Varois crew was allways for the most part known, so were his soldiers but it allways bottled me how that the Tick crew wasnt.At the end they had a rat like Casso who could fill who the soldiers were.Remmember somewhere reading Curiale was from South brooklyn/park slope.Dont know if that is true or not?Im gueesing that before 1976,before Casso and vic were made,there had to be atleast 10 members who were with Tick,oldtimers.Just disappointed that we dont have more.

Apologies Bronx, not quite understanding you?

Putting that through my Way of the Webguy grammer translation I believe he is referring to Soldier Jody Calabrese and deceased former Capo Richard "The Toupee" Pagliarulo.

I wouldn't say pagliarulo and calabrese were nice guys , calabrese was a member of the hit team that tried to murder Patricia capozallo and pagliarulo was one of amuso and cassos chief hitmen
