He probably had a few made guys ,i.e, Soldiers with him,maybe others proposed,and still others nobody knew about. Finally or his other made guys and associates, might well have had connections with other Syracusans who might have associated with the larger DeStefano group but whose own family might have been they were made or associates in other cities,whether it was NYC families or elsewhere. Or some who could also have old memberships in the Sicilian mafia,the Camorra,or the Calabrian groups.

Do I know any of this to be true? Not one word.But its possible and one could make it make sense

To this day most people in the area around Syracuse and beyond,will likely believe none of this LOL


Havana, I see that you're interested in Syracuse, so go onto our website, www.thenewyorkmafia.com and click the link for "Charts." Then scroll down until you see "The Anthony DeStefano Regime of Syracuse." You'll really enjoy it. I list hundreds of the city's hoodlums who were affiliated with De Stefano, and by extension, Buffalo's Magaddino Family, but I also list many of his top men and closest aides (some of whom were indeed "goodfellas" themselves.) The "made" men are marked as such by a special hieroglyphic I inserted next to their names.


I lived just outside for a period of time. I'll check it out. I once read a free article a couple years ago about Upstate and I have to say that it was amazing the things you uncovered.Not only Upstate but everywhere.Not the usual names.But guys everybody knew. You seemed to have a lot of knowledge of all the places. Where do you find such detail for so many places everywhere in the country




LOL. Yes Havana, thank you for that nice compliment. I believe you're referring to the expose' I wrote, titled, "The Underworld Landscape of Upstate New York." I spent many months researching, vetting, and then composing that piece.

I chose that particular area for further research because I was absolutely amazed at the tremendous amount of underworld and racket activity there. Yet, nobody but nobody, had ever delved into the subject matter. The best you ever heard about, was the 1957 "Apalachin Meeting" or the Buffalo Family under Magaddino. But the entire Upstate New York area was an untapped, treasure trove of mob doings and history....So I just felt that I had to tackle that project..."It was calling out my name." Lol
