Long time Magaddino/Todaro family West Side Capo/Possible Admin member Frank "Butchie Bifocals" BiFulco died last week. He was a very well respected member who was railroaded by the feds with a 10 year prison term for torching a leased car at a mall Parking lot in the late 90s. Little did he know it had cameras all over and he was hit with a 10 piece. Dirty feds.

He was the stepfather of slain 17 year old Carmen Gallo. Butchie went on a warpath and got his revenge on the people who did Carmen that way.


RIP Butchie.

That's a huge blow to Buffalo.

Agreed. Butchie, Leonard Falzone and Sonny Nicoletti all dead over the last several years. Pretty much all of the known capos. It really makes me think Violi wasn't just bragging/lying about being named UB. Outside of Sansanese and Snowball Panaro and Gerace not too many known high ranking members left. Buffalo family will be extinct within the next 10 years. No one trusted they can recruit who isn't into doing drugs, hothead stuff etc



End of an era. It started with the Johnny Pops murder and continued over the next 20 years of all the old time capos dying off.

One question, how was he railroaded if he was on video committing the Arson? Or did I misunderstand
