I see that people out there doubt that Philadelphia still has a genuine LCN Family. What do you guys say?

i would say yes, all podcasts aside, was steve mazzone the underboss not arrested in 2022?
borgesi seems like a guy who would want top seat with no shortage of allies on the street. he has the ultimate distraction now in merlino. will have to see if borgesi has solid ties to NY families.

Yes,it is.And is the most active out NY. Don't think to Merlino is lucky that his dead would be more a problem that a sign of force for the family.

Is Domenic Rugnetta considered the oldest member in Philly? Any info on him? At 96 and if he worked with Philly mob in his 20s then he clearly was involved in Scarfo era, possibly the Angelo Bruno era? Any thoughts?

The chart that was copy pasted is a few years now old, Rugnetta died in 2021

There is an LCN Bios entry about him here
