I also read that somewhere.OcSleeper wrote: ↑Tue Dec 08, 2020 4:05 pmYeah they're mostly inactive. I've also read that Chicago has a couple guys out thereSilentObserver wrote: ↑Tue Dec 01, 2020 1:41 pm I am a new member and have always been fascinated by the Mafia. Is the Los Angeles Mafia still a thing or have they been dormant since the early 2000's? All of the info I read on the forum is a little old so I assume they are no longer active in LA.
Re: General Mob Questions
When Bernardo Provenzano was arrested, there was a rift between Salvatore Lo Piccolo & Antonino Rotolo. I believe it was reported that Rotolo had managed to create a federation of 13 families and it was also described that the ruling "Council" of Palermo in place of Provenzano was divided into "four clans". Is it known as to which families were in the alliance with Rotolo and how the territories were split up in the four clans? If anything, it sounds like the bosses created 4 larger families in Palermo at the time.
Re: General Mob Questions
I think this is way off. 280 made members in the Sicilian faction of the Gambino family? I'd say no more than a dozen people involved in that group. You're providing an estimate membership for the entire family - and even 280 is high.

Re: General Mob Questions
Yes, but I don't think the sicilian faction of the Gambinos oversees all the sicilian mafia affiliati in the United States, right?scagghiuni wrote: ↑Tue Dec 29, 2020 6:19 amassociates, not made members, most of the 3.000 sicilian mafia members in the fbi files are associates

Re: General Mob Questions
So Nicky Black Gancio was hated by Persico & supposedly he was never going to make it to captain according to Larry Mazza. Did Larry Mazza really kill him?
Re: General Mob Questions
I thought it was Greg Scarpa who actually pulled the trigger. Mazza was probably in the vehicle though.

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.
