Current Philadelphia Members

I was wrong to say he was a Bruno/Scarfo era guy btw. I was going from memory and as you can see in that document he was described as a soldier in the "Bruno/Scarfo crime family" DeSimone is 67.

They have a lot of captains and administrators for such a small family. Realistically, they probably only need a boss, an underboss, and three or four captains. They don't seem to have any complex or large-scale operations that require that much oversight.

Until someone cooperates or we have taped recordings, I'd take a loose grip on any of the speculative leadership from the last nine years. The last big indictment shut down a lot of the speculation that had been going on in the first decade of the 2000s. I wouldn't be surprised if the same happened with the different names that have been floated as acting boss, underboss, co-consiglieri, ruling panels, etc.

Good find on DeSimone. Philly has been exposed by so member informants/witnesses with knowledge going back to 1927 until fairly recently, it's impressive when a member or two slips by.

[Wiseguy]

Good list.

Other than Vetere, how sure are we about all those Boston guys being made?

Also, what about Stanfa's son Joseph? Was he made?

[HoagieNose]

Damion Canalichio Is home in South Jersey with his wife. He was let out early.

Also I heard Borgesi smacked an associate for not doing something with Nicodemo’s real estate. Something like that.

[HoagieNose]

Good work.

Neither Ligambi's brother or Borgesi's have ever been confirmed as "made"?

No, but best guess is they are definitely made.

Sounds like something he would do. Guy is a friggin' lunatic.

Really cool list, interesting Stanfa and Piccolo are in the same prison together. Wonder if they speak to each other and what their conversations are like..

[Mikeymike12]

Has it ever came out any of the guys uncle Joe was referring to when he was saying about the 5 ( or whatever the number was) guys to be made when Joey gets home.

We've seen Gentile identified as a member before. Stroccos got the Pepicellis, Puleo and Tanso confirmed with Luisi.

Joseph Stanfa was made in late 1993. Possibly December 1993. His father wanted him to have some protection on the street in case he got indicted.

It was 3 additional people scheduled to be made with Esposito and Fazzini. I haven't seen any of them be identified, maybe they got straightened out in the 2015 ceremony.

[HoagieNose]

I heard Salvo was made. But he never leaves his Margate restaurant. He’s there 7 days a week. So I’m not sure if he’s a soldier. Guess he may be just running a crew too.

[StandUpGuy]

Great work. Do you have a list of associates?

[Cheech]

chin, this is impressive

[chin_gigante]

Great work. Do you have a list of associates?

Working on something like that but it'll be some ways away in the pipeline. Won't be nearly as comprehensive either based on numbers and how one would classify someone as an associate.
