. I know Tony Mirra did. Tommy Agro I believe carried scissors on him
Tommy Agro was getting ready to finish off Joe Iannuzzi with a butcher knife when that woman walked in on them.

It was a cleaver according to Joe Dogs. Still Agro was known to carry scissors

Anybody know what happened to Frankie DiStefano? He was Joe N Gallo’s Driver/bodyguard. I’ve seen him in several surveillance shots over the years but not much info on him

He eventually rose to Acting Capo of the Armone-?Giordano Crew during the 1990s-2000s. Not sure if he is still alive.

He was the Consigliere then so I think the only Soldier he had with him was Joseph Benanti.

Who took over his crew after he was promoted to consigliere?

This question kinda touches on the Netflix Fear City program, but it’s more of a general mob question so I posted it here.

They showed various mob family charts in the doc from the late 70s to the early 80s. Is there anyone that was on a Gambino or Genovese (or any family) chart in ‘81 that would show up on the same chart in 2020? I guess what I’m asking is how many guys from the 78-85 era are still active today? Vinny Asaro comes to mind but it seems like there can’t be too many more.

I don’t think Gene Gotti is active anymore, or John Carneglia.

There are still several members from that era who are still alive but it is hard to know for sure who is still active. Some for sure.


Colombo:
Andy and Billy Russo
Joel Cacace


Lucchese:
Vic Amuso


Gambino:
Nick Corozzo
Lenny DiMaria
Possibly Sal Franco and maybe his brother Joe


Genovese:
Barney Bellomo


Bonanno:
John Palazzolo
Louis Attanasio-?

Gus Faraci killed an undercover DEA agent in 1989 and got killed himself for it. Luchese soldier John Petrucelli was also killed for failing to carry out the contract on Faraci
