Just wondering, is it the $ that leads to making Zummo and he speaks Italian? These guys should be able to size you up and realize, no way Zummo and Russo are doing hard time.

Zummo and Russo are repulsive. The cuffs probably weren't on them for 5 minutes before cooperation.

The cop is more a stand up man then these two.

I get confused between the Violi brothers and Zummo. Are they related in anyway?

[moneyman]

Anybody know who Fama was under before his promotion to capo?

I’d assume Joe Lanni.

Refresh my memory. Where does this connection between Fama and Lanni come from?

I was wondering the same thing. Lanni, maybe Camuso seems right but no idea where i made that connection. Maybe one of the old ganglands? If i can find it ill post it here

Camuso seems to be a big Gambino construction guy and his indictment last year involved Robert Baselice who owned Rinaldi construction group in NJ.. maybe that connects some dots between Fama and Camuso. The forthcoming indictment mentioned in this Gangland seems similar to the Rinaldi case.

What confuses you? Different names different countries different families.

I don't think they're related unless it's through marriage. Pretty sure Zummo is Sicilian and as we know the Violi's are Calabrian.

I'm just theorizing here since I have no idea but, considering Borgia (who was indicted in the 2011 case involving the Marino crew) is a target of the investigation as well, I wonder if Fama is from that crew and has taken it over?

Good guess. I was literally wondering about who'd taken over the Marino crew yesterday.
This makes as good a sense as any

Lee Fama is very tight with Lanni, which is partly why I figured Fama would potentially be capo over that crew. I noticed on Lee Fama’s old weed case he was represented by same lawyer now representing Lanni in his fed case - doesn’t mean all that much but the lawyer is Fred Sosinsky not really one of the typical lawyers you see rep all these guys (McMahon, Macedonio, Corozzo etc)

The Famas are all heavy into construction, Camuso crew also big in construction so that connection also makes some sense. Sal Borgia Marino connection is interesting. What a puzzle

Good info.

Is Camuso currently under indictment?

Who's he going to give up?

Zummo knew he had a get out of jail card for years, crooked cop. Feds salivate over that shit

[bluehouse]

The YouTube rats say that the mob is dead, yet you have cops risking $160K a year jobs to work with them. I guess that bullshit about there being too many good jobs out there to get involved is just that, bullshit.

Their trying to cope with the fact that they arnt involved in the life so they are trying to convince themselves that they arnt missing out on anything
