nicky c. had more guys ..everytime a guy is pinched , he is the boss, the super capo, killed everyone. $billion book, le builds you up to take you down and uses it to have you held no bail..

^^^^This.

That bullshit gets almost as exaggerated as the numbers the Feds throw out when they pinch a sports office.

Even considering the hyperbole, if bronx's statement had any merit, we would be seeing the feds claim this crew or that crew was the biggest every time they indicted one. But they haven't. They only said it about the Trucchio crew. If one looks at the indictments and accompanying press releases, they usually don't say anything beyond the ranks of those involved (no "superbosses") and the specific charges. The feds had no reason to say what they did about the Trucchio crew unless it was true.

when you get indicted let me know if everything in it belongs there. they will tell you how big you are

I definitely agree that Trucchio had allotta relatively young guys in his crew

If I had to guess

1.) Bellemo / Muscallera / Falcetti crew

2.) Fiumara/ Depiro/ Crincoli NJ Genovese crew

3.) Upper echelon Bronx Lucchesse guys Crea / Madonna / Dinapoli construction/ concrete etc

4.) 18th Ave Gambino

probably add corozzo crew at 5 if i had to rank

We all talk about nepotism with some mob guys and a lot of sons of mobsters are far from qualified. Trucchio is the exception, the kid is a true gangster and an earner.
That said, he is in for a rude awakening when he gets out of prison, there will be nothing left. Life moved on and times will have changed drastically. The corner deli will now be some fuckin hipster coffee house.
The kid that wanted a gun with a silencer now prefers an iphone 6 with a facebook account.

The NY mob have stabilised in the last decade and according to the feds are strong then they were in the early 2000's. In 5 years time not much will change.

You don't know that, Tommy. The life is just too unpredictable to look that far ahead. One guy rats--if it's the right guy--and everything changes. I never believe those press releases anyway. The Feds have an agenda for everything. Then again, God forbid there's another terrorist attack and agents keep getting reassigned, they might just keep the status quo, which is fairly stable.

As far as Trucchio, Belmont's right. Things have changed in regards to the neighborhoods, so their criminal activity has to evolve in order for them to survive. And he is in for a rude awakening. But it has nothing to do with those changes. It's more in line with what you and I recently discussed .
