Is Tom Mix a common nickname? There is a "Tom Mix" Frarese and a "Tom Mix" Santoro, and I thought it was a unique nickname for Santoro

Re: 5 Family Indictments 1990-Present)
Ralph Santaniello one of the new leaders of the Springfield mafia faction controlled by the Genovese crime family was sentenced on Tuesday.
Authorities had been investigating the New York Mafia linked crew for several years and were finally able to make a case back in 2016. Santaniello and fellow mobster Giovanni “Johnny Cal” Calabrese were both in court to find out exactly how long they would be behind bars after pleading guilty in November. Santaniello was sentenced to five years in prison while Calabrese got off a little easier with a three-year bid. The mob crew was charged with various crimes including extortion.
Prosecutors pushed for a sentence of approx six and a half years for Santaniello pointing out that he continued to commit these crimes and was unrepentant. Ralph has been held without bail since his arrest in 2016 but Calabrese was out on bail so he will be expected to turn himself in by May 21st according to reports. The remaining members of the NY mafia linked crew Francesco “Frank” Depergola and Richard Valentini are set to be sentenced on May 11th. Fellow mobster Gerald Daniele has already been sentenced to two years behind bars. Will be interesting to see what kind of impact this has on the Genovese family influence in the area and whether or not this is the end of the Springfield mafia.

It is a reference to a famous old cow boy actor.

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.

I figured the reason you didn't add this one was because there's scant information online. So here you go Pogo.

Stropoli was not a soldier when he was indicted in Dec. 1999.

Colombo soldier Ralph Scopo Jr. was indicted in July 2005 along with Genovese acting boss Matthew Ianniello & Genovese capo Ciro Perrone.

I think we did. Or Capeci had mentioned it before because I had it in my indictments list.Pogo The Clown wrote: ↑Thu May 17, 2018 8:09 am For the Colombos. Surprised we didn't hear about this bust when it happened.

Isn’t the Cerbone bust the only evidence there is that Joey Amato is a capo?
