You'll be hard press to find any documentaries on many of these guys as they are low key, and would like to remain that way. There are reports on Bellomo, you can skim through. As far as I know, Bellomo is semi-retired, while some say he is fully retired, and most say he is the acting boss to the Genovese crime family. The guy has been a ghost since his wife passed away. Literally and figuratively. That's a very tight knit family (his blood family, not his mob family). Wiseguys are people, too. The guy isn't a robot, in spite of what's been written about him over the years. They write about him like he's still the Boy Wonder. But the truth is, he's pushing sixty and a grandfather now. I hope he enjoys his family and stays on the sidelines. The guy did ten years standing on his head. He deserves it.

He made captain around that time, but Vince was still firmly in control of the family. As a matter of fact, it can be argued that 1986 was the peak of Vince's power because that's when the rest of The Commission went in for life.

You don't raise businessmen and lawyers if you're a dummy. And every smart person I know wants to stay out of jail. (and I don't know mobsters. but this goes for any one).

I never sugarcoat what he did with his life. But I ALWAYS point out that he raised great kids, and that's worth mentioning when you talk about someone's overall character. They're all bright and have a strong work ethic. Sabrina is brilliant, and the boys never bullied anyone or "dropped a name" in their lives, which is rare for boys who grow up with that kind of father. And it's not like they're pussies, either. They're streetwise, but they strike the right balance between being respectable and being sheltered.

I think because there were no rats around him.Most of these documentaries its people who were close to them or the rats themselves talking about.Everytime there is a documentry the go to guys are Michael franzese joe pistone plus his life has not come out in court for the crimes he committed when gravano rated on gotti we basically knew of every murder and racket gotti was involved in so that made an intersting story.But barney theres nothing on this guys crimes so it will be pretty hard to do a 1hr documentary on a guy whos life is completly secret That's it in a nutshell. And as bright as he is, Barney's very fortunate that the Fish flipped when he did. Because if the Feds had been smart enough to wire up Cafaro and leave him on the street for a few years, he could have brought down the whole Buckaloo crew. And as the Buckaloo Crew goes, so goes the Genovese Family. But the Feds really aren't as smart as they think they are. They were incredibly shortsighted there. But they were so hellbent with Fat Tony and with the Manna-Gotti incident, that they really underplayed their hand there.

Know this is of topic,but it seems that buckaloo's crew was the trongest West side crew.What would be the strongest Gambino crew thru history?

Look at Bellomo and then look at Merlino dancing around with an umbrella with a bunch of nit wits and then going on instragram. And when you point that out, they call you a bitter old man. And I'm only three years older than Joey! (Full dislosure: I had to Google him to find out that he was born in '62)  . Pb, does barney reside in pelham manor? Not anymore. Stage Four lung cancer. Diagnosed and passed away in a couple months time. She was only in her 50's. Very sad, no matter what your husband does for a living. And like I said, they're a very tight knit family.
