Current Gambino family administration

[moneyman]

What's felice's track record on the forum like? Has he been proven right? Proven wrong?

Questions:
Felice, what do you mean "Can't add more about it?" Do you mean regarding your source, or do you mean in terms of details in general?
What was John Gambino's position until his death? Was he part of the ruling panel until his death? Consig?
Gene's bit interests me most.
What sort of clout does Gene Gotti have? A large backing? If that chart is true, then the Zips have even more power than I initially thought. Would Gene have the backing of Jack D'Amico? The Corozzo/DiMaria crew? I don't know a huge amount about what the current capos' Gotti relations are.
Daniel Marino was called a soldier in a recent Gang Land. Now you're saying his crew is one of the most powerful. Is he still in charge, or did someone else take over?
Who took over Mannino's crew.

Notes:
Frank Camuso's going to be indicted later this year. I'd bet money on it. Petey BS will sink him. Don't know how strong the case will be with Petey BS's reputation, but the feds were fine indicting Joe C and Co.

Petey had done business with him? Im assuming petey bs is pete lavoglia. If so, where did u hear they did business?

Camuso owns a resteraunt in Staten Island with Porky. I think Porky was busted recently due to lovagalio flipping.. maybe that’s the connection between camuso and porky?

I think if the feds had a case on camuso based on lovaglio, he would have been pinched in the January bust. But I rlly dont know. Just speculation

thanks.

thats a good Capeci article. what do u guys think about looking at gene as a Consiglere?

my thoughts are that when this was written (02) the Gambinos were almost at there worst point in history. so it makes sense for back then to consider him.

this is probably around the time Gene was caught on tape saying "Go ahead and give Nicky the spot. he's waited long enough " or something equivalent to that.

with Felice info on Gene, i think this will be interesting to see what happens. hopefully he's more lively then Sonny Franzese

Cant picture gene as a consigliere. Def will be promoted back to capo but i dont see him serving in the admin. So many other guys could have the position. Larry mannino pete Inzerillo etc it’ll be interesting to see how gene will fit in with modern Cosa Nostra. Things were a lot different when he went away in ‘89

Oh, I didn't know that you knew that Gene will DEF be promoted back to Capo? That's nice to know. What does Gene think about it?

lol.

[NYNighthawk]

Thank you SonnyBlackstein for that pat on the back you gave me for my thoughts on Gene Gotti. I do believe Gene has street smarts and leave it alone at this point in his life. Again it's nice to be commended for a post everynow and then and you made my day my brother!

Boss: Domenico Cefalù
Underboss: Lorenzo Mannino (street boss)
Consigliere: Frank Calì

John Gambino was considered to be the most influent Gambino family member until his death.
Most powerful groups: Camuso's crew, Filipelli's crew, Corozzo's crew, Marino's crew.
Gene Gotti is likely asking for a position and most of all, money.

Source is 100% valid. Can't add more about it.

Figured we maybe revisit this post.

Peoples thoughts on what current situation is?

Camuso crew and Filipelli crew definitely seem to be very strong. Both have big money guys, heavily involved in construction.

Do we think Marino crew is still active? Marino crew historically had guys like Johnny G and Big Billy Scotto, any other members we can identify as being part of this regime?

Lanni crew comes from the 18th Avenue Mannino crew, I’d think? This crew has a lot of juice. Wouldn’t be surprised if Lanni is part of admin at some point.

Yeah, I think the Marino crew is still active. I think Marino and Lombardozzi are the same crew.

Capeci has them both as captains

[Wiseguy]

Capeci has them both as captains

I am aware.

[SonnyBlackstein]

So maybe explain

While what Capeci reports does hold a lot of weight with me, it isn't necessarily the final word if there is other information to consider.

For example, in 2019 and 2020 he identified Alphonse Malangone as a captain. There hasn't been a case involving that crew in over 20 years and there are only a few known members of that crew still living. The same could be said about Thomas Ficarotta, who Capeci identified as a captain in 2015. There hasn't been a case involving that crew since the 1990s and only a couple known crew members living. Same for Silvio DeVita, who Capeci identified as a captain in 2020. DeVita is in his 90s now, there are only a few known crew members still living, and the last case I'm aware of was in the 1990s. For the same reasons, I really wonder about the Santorelli crew in the Lucchese family. I also have to wonder about the DeSimone crew in the Bonanno family. I'm also not sold on Anthony Fasitta, Alphonse DiPilato, Cologero Davi, Paul LoDuca, Joseph Lubrano, Vincent Beltempo, Salvatore Franco, Louis DeVito, and Thomas Farese even being captains at this point.

Capeci identified John Barbato as a captain in 2018 and 2019, and maybe it was true at the time, but as I said Barbato is pushing 90 and I suspect John LaRocca took over that crew. Which, unlike the others mentioned above, has had ongoing cases.

I've long suspected there was more overlap amongst people listed as captains than some might think. I look at crew histories, who is indicted with who, the amount of indictments over the years, the size of the family overall, and so on. Not only do I think Daniel Marino and George Lombardozzi are the same crew, I also think the same applies to Salvatore Gigante and Nicholas Calisi, Barry Nichilo and Anthony Palumbo, Domenico Cefalu and Domenico Acquista, John Rizzo and Ernest Grillo, John Spirito Sr and Ernest Aiello, Vincent Riccardo, and Dennis DeLucia, and Teddy Persico and Carmine Persico. I personally think the days of any of the New York families having 15-20+ crews are gone.

There's just one giant crew in each Family and it has to be indicted every year to be viable.

[TommyGambino]

So Devita wasn’t a powerful captain in 2020 because there are no cases and to your knowledge are barely any members left in his crew, they made nobody then. Think I’ll stick with Capeci on that one

[JeremyTheJew]

Lets not get side tracked on what WG thinks is valid and not
U guys can jus go back on any previous post where same questions were asked

Anyways....
So what about this Campos claim??? I hear hes got huge crew of ppl that "put in work"

Did anything on Camuso ever actually happen?? That one russian inducement named him.... But didnt do anything to him. Did i miss anything with him???

Seems like the Sicilian POSSIBLY have lost some weight since john gambino and frank cali are gone with cali being getting old iv seen it said .. (doesnt he still live with his mom too? But fr...)

Mannino is being said to be street boss i think...

other powerfull crews/members??

Didnt they "merge" back after the kiddie porn kinda lost him some respect?

About Palmeri, I tried to get documents of that investigation but I have not been able since it was an operation coming from authorities I have not any contact with. From what I could understand talking to someone who was part of the investigation Palmeri was considered an underboss of the sicilians in NY, underboss meant like a powerful guy who answered directly to bosses. Underboss term was not specifically linked to his official rank. Anyway the sicilians sometimes use to have sotto-capodecina, the man second in power of a crew after the capodecina. His name was totally new for me. Never heard him before of that investigation

Tangential to the main conversation here, which I'm not trying to derail. But do you have any specific references to Sicilian pentitti discussing "sotti-capidecina"? We have reason to believe that Chicago used crew "underbosses" under the captains and referred to this role as "sotto capo", so I'd like to see what the sources are for its use in Sicily.
