In his book, he said his fathers crew was broken up and his soldiers and rackets reassigned.

An Aspromonte, forget his first name. Maybe Vincent? Frank Castagnaro?

He didnt have any made members in his crew. Only a bunch of associates.

I remember Michael discussing who was in his crew in a video. He did list names. Unsure who was made or unmade. The challenge is he has so many videos and been interviewed so many times I have no clue which one it was. Sorry.

Who is this guy? A made one or just an associate? Is he still active? The news said he was an ‘enforcer’

Didn't he say in one of his interviews that he had fifteen made guys in his crew and 300 associates? It's possible that he was referring to his time as acting captain of his dad's crew though.

In this interview with Vlad right around the 26:40 mark, he says that he had about fifteen made guys in his crew, plus hundreds of associates.

Off topic, but what relation was Funzi to Ralphie Bones Mosca?
