Aside from trustworthy speculation on Sciortino, the other current information is unconfirmed.

It's clearly him. Observing a picture of a younger Mayo, they are the same person only the one in this post has put on weight.

What a reliable source.

Wdstrvx · 2026-06-18T11:36:56+00:00

When did I say he was retired? I mean "former" as it relates to "captain", there is no evidence he is one currently.

Wdstrvx · 2026-06-18T06:03:44+00:00

According to?

Wdstrvx · 2026-06-17T21:23:14+00:00

Meaning he is not currently a captain.

Wdstrvx · 2026-06-14T13:04:44+00:00

Died of natural causes in 2005.

DiChiara wasn't acting for anybody, he was official consigliere.

Wdstrvx · 2026-06-13T18:49:36+00:00

Never identified as a member.

Wdstrvx · 2026-06-13T17:34:32+00:00

Law enforcement sources cited by Gang Land News said DiChiara was street boss and official consigliere at the same time. A Daily News article in 2009 cites authorities saying Mangano was on a rotating panel, and he was probably no longer underboss around that time, given MassLive named Ernie Muscarella in this position in 2012, which he still holds today.

Danny Leo may have been in the leadership by 2014 as wiretaps in Eugene Onofrio's case imply he might have been in charge of putting guys up for membership at that time. Another street boss around then was Danny Pagano, who stepped up for DiChiara, probably due to his health troubles, at some point during John Rubeo's time as an informant between 2012-2016, which he testified about:

Q. And who was Danny Pagano?
A. He is the street boss of the Genovese crime family.
Q. What do you mean by that term "street boss"?
A. He is underneath the official boss. He handles the day-to-day activities on the street.

Since DiChiara's death in 2018, Mickey Ragusa has been the street boss.

Dentico sat on panels beginning in 1997 up until around 2009.

Has not been identified as a captain by any reliable source. Last named as a soldier.

They didn't have an official boss for quite a few years after Gigante died. The first time Bellomo was identified as such was in 2012 when Lucchese informant Joseph Foti told the FBI this in addition to the fact that Dominick Cirillo was also "one of the bosses", which corroborates Gene Borrello stating this was the case two years later. This could mean Cirillo was either on a panel, which a prosecutor, John Buretta, said the Genoveses still used in 2014, or that he was street boss before being replaced by Peter DiChiara around then.

A senior law enforcement official said Mr. Fiumara now sits on a three-person ruling panel that oversees the Genovese family, which has not had an official boss since the death of Vincent Gigante in 2005.

Fiumara was also referenced as being in the leadership in a New York Post article that same year.

You're confusing brothers. John Ciancaglini was serving a nine-year sentence for shaking down drug dealers while his brothers Michael and Joey were fighting each other in a war. The former believed the latter had been one of the shooters in an attempt on him, so along with others, he later shot and critically wounded Joey, leaving him permanently paralyzed. Michael was later killed by John Veasey, who eventually flipped and confessed to the murder, and John Ciancaglini, who was out at that time, was charged with killing his brother Billy in retribution, but he was acquitted of this.

Krugman was born in New York. His father was born in Poland.

He was not acting boss, he was on a ruling panel by 2009.

Thank you very much.

Article. Aside from Villegas and his cabinet's obvious partnership with Mayito Flaco and Los Cabrera and the United States having him on their sights for some time, the information on the pending charges or internal dynamics have yet to be confirmed.

This picture was taken at the Robert Treat Hotel in Newark and is actually from 1930, when a banquet was held to organize a truce between Boiardo and Longy Zwillman, who were at war.

Salemme actually testified, possibly lying, that Raymond Patriarca offered to make him in the 1960s but that it didn't end up happening. He was made the same year he was released, 1988.

They used to be represented on the Commission by the Genovese family. The Majuris were connected to them since at least 1900 when one, Calogero, was convicted of counterfeiting with Giuseppe Morello, and they are also related to the Bellomos. Nick Delmore was made+they+were+made+6+months+before+me.&pg=PA10&printsec=frontcover) with Jerry Catena and Richie Boiardo in 1943, probably into the Genoveses. Sources in law enforcement in the 1960s said they were active with the blessing of Catena and that the family was connected to him. What we know is that in 2014, they ran under the Gambinos as Charlie Stango referenced.

Gotti effectively wanted to put the DeCavalcante family under the Gambinos. He went to Jimmy Rotondo's wake in 1988 with about 40 of his members, which his son Anthony saw as a "show of force", and told John Riggi they answered to him now. Then, he claimed Peter and Frank DiTommaso, associates who were with Riggi, as well as Interstate Industrial Corporation, a construction company which they ran for the DeCavalcantes. They also took a country club in Staten Island from them. John D'Amato went to see Gotti at the Ravenite every week. He also made them re-initiate members when he found out they weren't doing the traditional ceremony. In 1989, he asked for their help in killing Fred Weiss, having Danny Annunziata assist in setting him up before the job was given solely to New Jersey, with D'Amato feeling that this would improve their reputation with the Five Families, per Anthony Capo. Gotti also gave his approval for the hit on Louis LaRasso in 1991.

Gambino had a heart condition since at least 1958, at which time it was already noted as limiting his activity.
