Fast risers

[Eline2015]

Hello, guys. I wanna create a list with a mobsters, who are bumped to higher positions in a short time
I’m started

Angelo Bruno (Philly boss): made in 1950s. Became a boss in 1959 from soldier rank.
Salvatore Merlino (philly underboss): made in 1980. Became a underboss in 1981.
Alphonse Persico (colombo consigliere) made in 1975 in bufalino, transferred to Colombo’s. Shortly after that promoted to capo and then to consigliere
Tony Giacalone (Detroit street boss): made in 1949, became a captain in 1957, street boss 1958
Nick Civella (KS boss) made in mid 1940s, became a underboss in early 50s, promoted to boss in mid 50s
Phil leonetti (philly underboss) made in 1980, capo in 1982, underboss in 1986
I expelled from this list stanfa and natale administration

Joe masseria probably. Made in mid 1910s, probably after his robbing conviction. Became boss 1922/23

[furiofromnaples]

Joseph Bonanno was made in 1928 and become boss in 1931.
Joseph Merlino was made in september 1992 and become de facto boss in 1995.

Frank Buscemi was made in May 1959 and then appointed underboss by October 1961.

It's possible that Bruno briefly served as a capo under Pollina before becoming boss.

Some other Philly fast-risers:
Larry Merlino and Salvie Testa were inducted in 1980 and made capos in 1981 and 1982, respectively
Tommy DelGiorno and Faffy Iannarella were made in 1982 and promoted to acting capos in 1984
Scoops Licata was made in 1986 and promoted to acting capo in 1988
George Fresolone was promoted to capo the day after he was made

I know you expelled the Stanfa and Natale hierarchy appointments from your list because basically everyone who got bumped up there was made and promoted quickly but the one who really stands out there was John Veasey. There you have a guy who wasn't even an associate at the start of 1993 committing two murders for the organisation, getting made and getting promoted to capo in the span of about 2-3 months. That was under exceptional circumstances but it's a spectacularly quick rise in status (followed by an equally fast fall).

Al Capone went in Chicago in 1919 and become boss in 1925.
Anthony Spilotro was sent in 1971 to run the Outfit Vegas crew and was 33 y old.
Salvatore Montagna was acting boss 2006 to 2009 and before acting capo in 2004 and he was born in 1971.

Chuckie Porter, Pittsburgh LCN, made in 1986 and upped to Under Boss in 1987 when Jo Jo Pecora dies.

Alphonse Persico (colombo consigliere) made in 1975 in bufalino, transferred to Colombo’s. Shortly after that promoted to capo and then to csonsigliere

It was even faster than that. Made in 1971 and Consiglere by 1973.


The fastest one of all is of course Ralph Natale. Made in late 1994 and promoted to Boss the same day.

but the one who really stands out there was John Veasey. There you have a guy who wasn't even an associate at the start of 1993 committing two murders for the organisation, getting made and getting promoted to capo in the span of about 2-3 months.

Was Veasey a Capo? I thought that was just something that was in that self published Internet book he did.

I believe Freselone said he was a captain, but his breakdown of the Stanfa-Merlino war is full of all kinds of errors. Goes along with his general lack of knowledge about what was going on in Philly while he was in North Jersey.

[chin_gigante]

Veasey's been very consistent about his position over the years. He's been saying he was a captain since 1994 and nobody's ever come forward to contradict him

The fastest one of all is of course Ralph Natale. Made in late 1994 and promoted to Boss the same day.

Natale was made in the mid 1970s by Carlo Gambino, Angelo Bruno and Lucky Luciano (who was present through an ouija bord). Others present during that ceremony were Russell Bufalino, Paolo Violi and Joe Di Maulo as well as Stefano Bontade and Salvatore Badalamenti, who came all the way from Sicily to pay their respects. Do your research.

Didn’t Sinatra sing at the ceremony?
