Laborers Local 210 seemed to be the family's main source of power. Sort of like Local 394 for the DeCavalcantes. Once Local 210 was taken over in the mid-1990's, things seemed to have dried up to a large degree. Over the past decade there have been individual members of the family involved in some cases, like Thomas Marotta, Frank "Butchie BiFocals" BiFulco, Sonny Nicoletti Jr, Dominic "Sonny" Celestino, and Frank Frassetto. But really nothing showing a cohesive, formally structured organization. The Todaros are probably all but retired now and have plenty of money from their La Nova restaurant chain. That there are still even a couple dozen members left is probably due to the fact it's in the northeast as much as anything else.

IVY, luzerne county in PA, with all the corruption you ever look into that..its boarders NY ..Big Billy Elia was the last one in the scranton/wilkes barres mob whatever that was called bufalino? I dunno

Yeah, Ralph Natale was overheard on a bug talking about how D'Elia was the last member of the Bufalino family. Though there may be 1 or 2 other guys still alive. But the family is certainly gone. Even though it was always a small family, back in it's heyday the family was pretty strong in the labor rackets. And D'Elia was active up until recent years. He had a lot of contact with guys in New York, New Jersey, and Philly.

New england has approx 6-8 crews

If that's the case, I imagine each crew only has a handful of made guys. Which wouldn't necessarily surprise me at this point since several recent busts have included a couple made members and a bunch of associates. The thing is, on different charts we have the names of guys who have been captains. And some of them may still be. But the exact hierarchical structure is becoming harder to pin down in the smaller families that remain outside NY, including the Patriarcas.

Well the current hierachy of The Patriarca Family according to the FBI and Massachusetts State Police is listed like this.

if the outfits is as secret as u say ... how n why do u seem to have the information on them ? r u a groupie with some of them?

ivyleague i dont believe in your posts , i think some of them r names u have long thought of in your head n put them on this forum disgracing it

Would you shut up? Not once on this forum have I ever lost my temper, but you really make me want to do so. In a few days, you've caused more mayhem, terrorized more people than VinnyGorgeous (former user) managed to in a lifetime. I try to treat this like a serious forum. A learning center, if you will. And it's very distracting when some people think this is Comedy Central with chat-speak. Clean up your act or get out.

Accidental re-post. Might as well add something.

Ivy, I don't exactly understand what happened with D'elia. He became a snitch, but on a very specific operation. Therefore he wasn't exactly ratted out all his fellow made men, right? Did the family just lose hope after that? I've always thought the Bufalino Family was a decidedly small family. Russell kept 40-ish made guys around, and I always think there has to be a reason. Maybe to keep a low profile? In any case, it hasn't helped the family survive. But they had a great run.

kudos to you bro, im saying the same thing about this freaking guy!

uv lost you temper? why dude? i hope u find it , remember n use your magnafying glasses u small minded man wheres ur fun n banter? chill out n dont b so serious , lifts some weights screw your girlfriend more smoke a joint if it helps lighten u up

good point its kind of like the mikey franzese who didnt rat out his fellow made guys...

dapper don do u have beef? u know il whipe the floor with u n then powerwash ur sad act face

im not even going to waste my time with you and respond formally too childish

yeah go waste ur time sitting on ur ass eating pizza thats all your good for , try putting on more interesting posts instead of the basic stuff u put on now

Haha.

Yeah, sort of like Franzese. It looks like he just testified against a casino owners to close some cases. Maybe there weren't any made guys left? Who knows? Of all the families in LCN, the Bufalinos are exceptional for their under the radar behavior. That's excluding some stuff D'elia did, but overall. This is the family that was secretly leading half of the Buffalo Family a little before Stefano Magaddino's death - whilst Magaddino was representing them on The Commission. I haven't read the Frank Sheeran book but I hope there's more out there.

These guys are a bunch of humps...they ruined the mafia

Hey Hey Hey

I think every1 is entitled to their on opinion, and some people watch something on the biography channel and all of sudden there an expert.

Vinnygorgeous was funny,I didn't like his stupid ralph cipparotto picture thought it was kinda fruity, but yea he was funnny and knew some stuff..Rosatto isn't from the states he might see things a different way he knows some stuff gotta give him that

I don't think you understand that nobody here takes anything you say seriously.

and what have you done?

i dont have much time to contribute to the forum because unlike you i actually do something with myself and am in graduate school which just started classes back up last week

once again your wrong, mommy and daddy dont pay a dime for me actually i go to a top ivy league school on a scholarship because unlike you i work hard and have a bright future

Magadino was a snake, he didn't like joe bananas for a million reasons

yeah well in my eyes ur a spoiled little brat who looks down on the working class man. i left school when i was 16 n went straight into a electricians aprrentiship , low n behold now im 22 fully qualified have been for 2years now n the moneys raking in how much money has it cost your mommy n daddy to send you to graduate?
