But was he? Again, Previte's story reads like Joe Dogs Iannuzzi or somebody else on the fringe. Overlooking the ceremonies or lack thereof, he also doesn't mention any Family meetings, not from Natale or Merlino later. You'd think Merlino upon becoming AB would have called a meeting of the captains, something. But absolutely no administration matters are covered. From Previte's perspective, Merlino's trying to buy watches from him to sell. Then the book gets published which details how Previte "as a capo, ran a branch of La Cosa Nostra from his headquarters in Hammonton" and we assume that was all there was to Merlino as a boss given we have a skippers birdseye of events, when it fact Merlino was viewed through a window from outside... Watch the Lutz interview, he goes into the tapes and the responses Merlino gives and why he does. He admits in hindsight that "dealing" with Previte: IE taking his money, was a mistake and he attributes it to how greedy they all were.
I just happen to believe Prevete and the goverments contention he was made a capo by Ralph Natale
Jus because prevete wasnt in Merlino inner cirlce doesnt really mean anything. merlino was playing Natale as well making him a puppet boss of sorts , Merlino and company with all those tapes never got caught talking about violence. doubt they share anything important with previte as he wasnt one of them. But they were confident enough in him to commit crimes with him
If you can find the court testimony I'd be interested in seeing it. You know me, I go where the evidence takes me. Salut.
Well he testified for I think 14 or 15 days or so we should be able to find it although since not going to be online maybe a pain to order,
its really a waste of time , the federal prosuctuer called him a mob capo , eddie Jacobs I belive did as well , he is listed in 1995 crime report as the south jersey capo and that is before he agreed to wear a wire for the fbi , and with George anatasia being as plugged in as he is I think he wouldn't of wrote that if it hadent been the case.

Well if those individuals stated that in open testimony then that lends credibility, especially since Natale flipped and could have verified. Did anyone read Natale's book, does he cover Previte at all?
But dear sir, researching context is never a waste of time. "CC finally came home from prison but his wife died a week later" and "CC came home from prison and a week later his wife was dead" cover the same topic but read and evoke totally different takeaways. The first sounds tragic, the second sounds nefarious. Both are also vague, just like Previte's detailing on being in that position.
Someone needs to pitch an idea to Anastasia and have him cover: "what it means to be a Philly capo" so they can interview Previte.

I was referring to tracking down his testmoney being a waste of time when its obvious to me he either made the whole capo thing up and stuck to his story for 20 years or the evidence strongly points to him being made a capo by Ralph Natale
Yes his story how he was made is shakey but he was treated as a made man , but coming from a boss who was made by a solider with no authority to make him , So Natalie naming him a capo just to get his money isn't far fetched
angelo lutz was "guzzling" bookmakers from his moms basement and his parents were taking out loans to pay his debts. The guys A low life , but I will give you the fact he is farily entertaining ,

Even an ex-girlfriend of mine hopped on the Previte hate train completely on her own. She indulged me by watching one of the documentaries where they interview him at his office and every time he talks he rolls his head to the side, almost like a tick. For about a week she wouldn't stop doing the same head roll.
As for some of the affiliations/loyalties during the Stanfa conflict, my impression is that some of the active/semi-active old time members were on board with Stanfa when he initially took over but once the conflict(s) started up and Stanfa started bringing in random nobodies they took a back seat. Anthony Pungitore Sr. for example was said to have been involved early on with the re-organization to some extent but isn't heard from after that. Joe Ciancaglini Jr. was very close to Pungitore Sr. and his son Ralph so I've speculated before that Pungitore may have helped give Ciancaglini his push.
The murder of Felix Bocchino may have also impacted some of the older members' willingness to stay involved.
I believe Shotsie Sparacio's cousin Blase Salvatore was still around at this time. He had been an associate for many years involved in gambling in South Jersey.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and speculate that Anthony Ferrante was still involved and actually may have had a hand in the Veasey murder conspiracy, since apparently the hit was right above his butcher shop.
The old timers bailing after Bocchino getting clipped makes sense, he was in his 70s when he got popped. I could see the other older guys saying "fuck this" and not wanting any part of what was going on.
