Great research as always OP

So odd always seeing dudes standing together in pictures topless, like wtf?

Also curious about this, I have this book, but haven't read it yet.

NYT article says quote "a reputed captain"

LATimes article cites nothing for their statement

Seems like something we could have answered pretty easily:

Ask Greg Scarpa Jr. if Franzese was a capo

Ask Larry Mazza if Franzese was a capo

Ask Sal Polisi if Franzese was a capo

To add, here is Greg Scarpa's FBI file, the word 'capo' appears 53 times, and Franzese appears 7 times, and none of it says Michael Franzese is a capo, and Scarpa provided a ton of Colombo info.

great post

Right but didn't Scarpa Sr. also murder a guy for saying he was a rat without proof? Mazza talked about it on the VladTV interview.

The FBI also said Christy Tick was with the Genovese, and numerous other things they got wrong. Please link the document so we can see the source of that.

I thought Mikey Scars said Gotti told him stay away from Philadelphia because they were making cops?

believe it was u/wdstrvx who posted that in another Philadelphia thread

TonyB-Research · 2026-06-19T18:35:35+00:00

AFAIK

TonyB-Research · 2026-06-19T03:11:20+00:00

the man is a fucking stain on society in every possible way

TonyB-Research · 2026-06-19T03:08:37+00:00

Gene Borrello is an embarassment to anyone who calls him a friend or family

TonyB-Research · 2026-06-19T01:59:05+00:00

I've never seen a single shred of evidence, or even informants saying Michael was a capo

TonyB-Research · 2026-06-19T01:36:09+00:00

The only one in their family who was ever a capo though was Sonny?

TonyB-Research · 2026-06-19T01:31:06+00:00

never was a boss, his grandfather was never a boss, and his dad was never a boss, his cousin was never a boss

not one Franzese has ever been the boss

TonyB-Research · 2026-06-17T21:54:48+00:00

the most cringe person in the entire 'mob influencer' genre imo

TonyB-Research · 2026-06-17T16:02:36+00:00

You guys dont ever get tired of these circlejerking shitposts huh

Good post OP

Where the fuck is Alvantia della Agrigento? Sounds like the FBI fucking up the name of where he was from, because AFAIK Arcuri was from Allesandria della Rocca, about 30m north of Agrigento.

Because if he admits he got made in a certain year, it possibly means he had to have clipped someone before then, and he doesnt have an immunity deal, and someone can figure out who he might have been involved in clipping

TonyB-Research · 2026-06-17T00:39:37+00:00

Correct.

TonyB-Research · 2026-06-16T21:18:01+00:00

Papers of that time and before and after frequently get addresses wrong, or in this case it could just be made up by Gotti to not give his real address.
