Accused Bonanno mobster turned down promotion to consigliere

[SonnyBlackstein]

Great info JD.

Cheers.

Bonventre was indicted as a soldier last year. He's not a skipper, soldier in Jerome's crew. Unless they've gave him that crew due to Jerome doing 7 years.

He was named as acting captain in that case.

Since Rizzo is now a Capo does this mean he took over D'Amico's Crew (or at least a part of it)?

Good question...

[camerono]

great info fellas.so who took over scars crew when he flipped? or did they go with other skippers?

[bronx]

that was just an excuse to break him..read the testimony, he says he never took the money..a power move on him while he had no bail

[bronx]

DiLeonardo was demoted and shelved around October 2002, the hierarchy accused him of receiving off the record monthly payments from a company in NJ. He claimed this was completely untrue. Him being demoted was a big reason he first started cooperating.

100% , correct, people in bensonhurst were shocked it was done to him..it was a canarsie power play. if you grew up or lived in the area ,you knew him..hard to talk good about a guy who ratted, being objective..he was a power guy , who did not abuse it..played football .softball..with all age guys/.put that wise guy B.S on the side when he played..hard to believe he flipped, for me..people whisper he got screwed, can't say it out loud ..or your a rat also..here nobody knows me..i'm about 12 years older than him..if you were out in a club or restaurant. put your money away..seen the show he did, he aged ,must be eating him up..

danny marino and micky boy got his crew. they took everything before he flipped.

I have four soldiers listed as being under DiLeonardo: Eddie Garofalo (transfered from Vallario crew); John A. Rizzo, "Little" Joe D´Angelo and Onofrio Modica. Louis Mariani and Joe "Babe" Serrano (possible made guys later on) were associates. Thomas Cherubino, Anthony Serrano and Richard Milo were also associates.

fappiano,, philip modica, joe brewster. also..a few other old timers..i will look into who. a lot of construction and restaurant guys. a few actors.. harry cipriani..rainbow room..stock market guys..a lot of his guys were child hood friends

He was 59 or so when he did the show, I thought he still looked pretty good, about the same from his mugshot. Anyways I have always thought that the shelve/demoted thing was nothing more than the guys swallowing up his rackets and using that as an excuse. Any thoughts? If that was the case than goes to show how greed makes these guys blind. I mean by taking away his stripes you would have to think he would flip? The only way to keep a guy from flipping now a days is to support him and his family when he is locked up to make it less attractive to roll, but in that world who is gonna do that?

Brian. what you said is common sense..something his higher ups lacked..he said in one of his trials .the dumbest admin in the history of the mob..i hope he writes a book.

[brianwellbrock]

I was also wondering sometimes if that is what happened to Franzese. Even tough he brought in Millions a month to his bosses they wanted more, than he gets locked up and quits. I sometimes think maybe they stripped him of his title and swallowed up what he had and he just figured fuck it, I have all this money stashed away why not. The only thing with Scars was is that he was facing 2 murder charges so even on a plea he could of been very old when he got out.

[bronx]

he just came off of the atlanta case , if found guilty 20 plus years.that's what bothers me about why they broke him while in jail.he just went to trial and won..

Same thing happening to Trucchio now, risky to shelve him but he won't roll

[bronx]

did they break him or took him down from captain. .i'm not sure either happened.

Shelved apparently. 3 People over on GBB told me the story over 6 months ago, Capeci confirmed a few weeks back.

[camerono]

I agree about franzese.but scars I think he had been royally screwed,I don't know why but I like the Guy other than being a rat I think he's an ok Guy.
