List of U.S. Mafia families

[thewestside]

Crazy. Do you think that is due to La Eme influence in these parts? LCN was suppost to be a big deal in San Diego during the 1970's.

It really has nothing to do with La Eme. Even at it's peak the families in California were small potatoes, far removed as they were from the Mafia's main powerbases in the northeast and midwest. Relatively speaking, much less Italians on the west coast as compared to New York or Chicago. So geography and time (i.e. general attrition) is why the LA family is basically a crew at this point.

[MILNATIVE]

Remember in the movie "American Me", when La Eme tried to force the local LA Mafia head to give up drug territory to them and ended up starting a war between them and the Mafia. Mafia heads son ended up getting raped in prison and killed? and Mafia flooded East LA with pure drugs which caused OD's and deaths.
I know this is just a movie but is any of that accurate?

No. Just fiction thrown into the movie.

The New Orleans Mafia Has a New Boss

Michael Tufaro seems to have taken control of the New Orleans Mafia along with his brother Joseph "Joey" Tufaro. The Tufaro brothers have a five decade family history in the New Orleans Mob. They also have family ties to the New York Colombo Family that go back to the 80's. Here are a few links and some other infomation that supports this line of thinking.
The New Orleans crime family has or had an impact throughout all Louisiana and several other southern states like Missouri, Texas and Mississippi. It has an estimated 10 "made" members left and many more associates. Some people say it is almost dead; others claim that it is one of the most powerful Mafia crime families in the United States today. It has been said that they are still active but these reports are unsubstantiated.Since Hurricane Katrina two brothers Joseph and Michael Tufaro have emereged as a new force in New Orleans. Michael Tufaro[1] has a long history of run ins with the law and was acussed of being part of an attempt to "fix" a federal trial[2] as far back as 1988. He was released from prison in 2003 for a kidnaping sceme[3] where Tufaro would kidnap local drug dealers and hold them for ransom.They also have family ties to New York[4] and the Colombo Family. The Tufaro brothers own[5] and control a large residential sub-divison that has resulted in a RICO[6] case being brought against them it seems as though their futre is still in question.We will be waiting and watching to see if this is the return of the "old school" New Orleans mafia.

Vinnie Butch got bumped down gus scl-something (i forget) took over his crew. Lombardi is in jail.Laforte, and steevie coogan are old and decrepit. Never heard of Graziano. Anyone know about him? Mancuso is under Carmine Sciandra. Your forgetting some guys Louie M, Johnny G, that guy gus-augustus something, Rico and Dom Cefalu, Blase Corozzo, John Gambino, Peter Inzerillo, Megale?

Genoves-Pretty Accurate, Generoso stepped down hes gotta be pushin 110 by now,lol. Prisco is doing life so is jimmy ida. Your forgetting Mike Borelli, a jersey skipper, and Joe Dentes son junior.

hi thewestside, i've read your post from a long time,you're very informed about organized crime anyway the Genovese family remains the strongest in the N.Y. area for me, because only 5 informers.

hi thewestside, i've read your post from a long time,you're very informed about organized crime anyway the Genovese family remains the strongest in the N.Y. area for me, because only 5 informers.

It's a virtual consensus across the board that the Genovese family is the strongest family in both New York and the entire country. In my opinion, they've always been the top family. Even when the Gambinos rivaled them in many respects in the 1970's and 1980's. When you boil it all down, in addition to having the least amount of informers, the other reasons why the Genovese are the #1 family today is because they control the largest bookmaking and loansharking rings in the New York/New Jersey area and have the most labor racketeering activity left.

[DJKMatt]

The Gambinos were "destroyed" by John Gotti with his drama,now that the boss is a zip, Cefalu i mean , maybe they can be reorganize themself,but they are always strong in NYC.

Even today, the Gambinos are a strong #2, as they've always been.

[DJKMatt]

No doubt. In the last years,in my research i've notice that there are more sicilians in this past five years than the last twenty in the New York Cosa Nostra. The Sicilians are more different from the classic italian-american mobster in different ways.

You mean more high-profile/high level Sicilians? Even now, I don't think we're seeing the predictions many have made over the years, of the Sicilians taking over and revitalizing the American families, coming true. Again, it's only been a handful of guys here and there -

For the Bonannos you have Sal Catalano in the late 70's and early 80's. And then Sal Montagna for a few years recently. But Montagna came to the U.S. when he was a kid and had no connection to the Mafia in Sicily.

For the Gambinos you have John Gambino who, after being a long time captain, was on the ruling panel recently. And now Dom Cefalu is the new boss. But Cefalu has been in the U.S. for decades, himself.

Frank Guarraci in Jersey has also been in the U.S. for decades. And the only other one I can think of that reached an administrative position was John Stanfa in Philadelphia.


On another note, if you already haven't, I suggest you check out the forums below. The first one is the best forum on the mob but isn't taking new members at the moment. However, the second is a good forum and is. There's more traffic and discussion on them about organized crime than here.

in Real Deal you must be invited right? Anyway Stanfa was an old school mobster,but the Philly mob are one of the most disfunctional mob family of America,after the Colombos. Scarfo bring a blood reign around him with several killings,and of cours bring the FBI on him... Stanfa was one of the newest which wanna take the Philly mob,but was he was busted too. Today the Philly's boss is Ligambi,true?

Yes, Ligambi is still the official boss, despite having been indicted last year.

Yes, you do have to be invited to the Real Deal. I've got some posters from the Gangstersbb forum waiting for when the the Real Deal starts taking members again. I go by "IvyLeague" on Gangsters. If you want, you can sign up there and then shoot me a PM.

I think it is Matty's crew but it appears a relative of his, Conrad Ianniello, is the new captain. The press release is below. I assume it's Matty's crew because of the name relation, as well as the fact that Matty's crew was involved with the San Gennaro Festival back in the 1990's as well. Plus has always had a lot of union involvement. Don't know if this means Matty has more or less retired or if he is on the panel running the family. If it was the latter, Conrad would typically be cited as an acting captain, not official captain.

The horse on the ruling panel???? The guy cant control his bowels, hows he gonna control a family?? Besides brooklyn doesnt run that family-the power comes from uptown.

I'm not really up to date about what's going on with Matty's bowels but keep in mind that he was indicted as one of the family's acting bosses back in 2005. Of course, he's now 92 so, in all probability, he is more or less retired. But the fact that Conrad Ianniello is the captain suggests that more than Matty's age. Just a few years ago Benny Eggs was said to be on a rotating panel of members running the family and he's only a couple years behind Ianniello. That same article also cited Barney Bellomo, Ernie Muscarella, and Larry Dentico. A year after that, when Tino Fiumara died, another article said he had been on a three man panel running the family. It may have included some of those other guys.

My bad bro i dint know the horse was running the family then, i thought you meant present day. How old is benny eggs?? Isnt he legally blind?? How come little mikey generoso is not on your list?? He took ovwr his old mans crew? Right? Who is on this ruling panel these days??? You said tino and larry d- those are jersey capos. Does the panel have one from each part of the family? BK, BX, & NJ? And if barney b is considered the boss-would he be on the panel or surpervise it and have a guy like patsy parello represente the bronx?

Back in 2005, Ianniello was indicted as "an" acting boss. A subtle, but crucial, distinction from "the" acting boss. To me that suggests he was on the ruling panel, which is basically a group of acting bosses. But, again, that was 7 years ago. Benny Eggs is 90. While the article back in 2009 said he was one of the "recently released" members running the family, I imagine its' not really on a direct, day-to-day basis. Generoso is 90, himself, and I think he's been retired for a while now.

All we know is what the FBI tells us, and that is usually in bits and pieces here and there; especially with the Genovese family. To review:

Danny Leo was acting boss up until he was indicted in 2007. He lives in Jersey but his crew is based in Manhattan and the Bronx. I've always wondered if he is from Bellomo's crew because it's the same territory and other guys in Bellomo's crew have served as acting boss in the past. But it's also possible Leo took over the Ardito crew, which is also based in the Bronx, after Ardito died.

It seems it was after Leo went to prison that the "recently released" guys such as Bellomo, Muscarella, Benny Eggs, and Larry Dentico took over on a "rotating" basis. Bellomo and Muscarella are from the same crew. And Muscarella was acting boss, himself, before he was indicted in 2003. Dentico is Jersey based. As was Tino before he died. It may have been simply that Tino was on the ruling panel (along with 2 other guys) at the time he died.

It doesn't seem like the panel is based on geography. If you look back over the past few decades, virtually all of the family's bosses or acting bosses have come out of the Manhattan and Bronx factions. Several from Barney's crew - Barney, himself, along with Farby Serpico, Muscarella, Nigro, possibly Leo. A few years ago, when Leo was indicted again, it was alleged that Leo had put Anthony Palumbo in charge of the family's Jersey operations. Palumbo was acting captain in Ninny Bruschi's crew. And I'm still wondering if Bruschi is from the same crew Dentico is. I really don't think that meant Palumbo was the boss over the other Jersey captains but, rather, he was the intermediary between them and the NY leadership.

Very interesting man. Around where i live there has always been this mystique about the genovese-specifically Tony parkside. Something about the fact that all these made guys from around my old neighborhood, the only name that rings out stronger than the rest is tony parkside. Of course hes the least impressive of any wiseguys around the north queens area. He works at his restaurant day and night. No gangster BS, he acts completely legit. Yet no ones name carries more juice than this guy. Theoretically his crews into everything- making book, juice loans, coke deliveries, slot machines, insurance scams... That family is just to insulated to us to know anything.

Also i meant mikey generoso jr., michael sr.s son- hes a brooklyn captain, lives in staten island. I think he took over the antico crew because antico got so much time for killing antonelli.

Another thing, is muscarella under barney?? And if all those guys come from barneys crew, isnt it a little obvious that he chooses the front bosses? Making him really the boss no? A personal theory of mine is that Barney could be a top echelon informant for the fbi. He obviously isnt in the life for the money, if so he coulda retired 25 years ago. He makes as many moves as possible to insulate himself and hes seems smart enough to realize that it is inevitable that a guy like him will be doing life one day. To me it makes sense, but then again, im a fucking nut.

You seem to know alot about these guys so ill ask you a couple of questons

Whos running tinos old crew? Or the paterson crew in north jersey? The genovese have a peice of one of the brooklyn docks, who is running that? Allie shades? The Gallo crew outa carroll gardens? Are there stilll rackets run out of the garment district like tommy gambinos? Who would rum that carmine tomatos?? I know the luccheses had a peice of the laguardia airport (and jfk if goodfellas is right). Is there any rackets around there still? What about the fulton fish market? Who runs the feast on arthur ave in the bronx?

Thanks in advance its been fun goin back and forth with a guy like you.
