“Sleepers” - Unknown Members “Expose”

Post by maxiestern11 »

“Expose” for Development: to list and profile unknown and/or little known existing members/associates in the NYC/NJ/CT region. It could be subjects from a previous era. Or could be more current subjects. Let’s see who and what volume of lists can be created and developed. After it’s completed, Pogo and others may be able to add and compliment what lists/charts they have previously created so beautifully for the various crews across the area. I suspect it could possibly provide a wealth of knowledge previously unavailable through traditional channels. Whether it’s a reputed “top” guy or lowly “associate”, all are important in the mob mosiac!

He sounds like an interesting guy. The type it would be interesting to develop a full profile on. He could be subject #1 for the new thread I suggested ..... Sleepers - unknown members development profile. Low key, little known guy who may be a good first subject

Very good Stevan, I think I speak for everyone when I say we’re looking forward to it. If you already have any in-depth info for another subject similar to Vigneri, post it now. It’ll keep all busy until the Vigneri folder arrives.

Let’s start with the NY area. Too
Much ground to cover if we pull from all over the place. NY’s large enough. If it works out well, then yes, others could work well. Thank you Frank

Savino (Sam) DeBenedictus - Lucchese associate, suspected "inducted" member. Alleged to be active in vending machnes rackets and truck hijacking.
Would anyone have additional info on DeBenedictus? He seems to be another little known figure in the rackets.
If all contribute to this "Sleepers" thread, it could be a very interesting thread indeed.
