TD you would know better than me you are the expert pal and all these old article and insights you post always make my day.
I know Bill Jr and his son (Bill III) are definitely not 'made guys' but they are actively kicking in today and their contracts are likely benefitting other Outfit businesses and making money for people. A lot of the Potatoes Daddono-era gangsters left million dollar businesses to their kids - I've learned through personal connections many of the kids are still paying someone today. The Outfit won't hesitate to go after kids and its happened to the kids of Ricca, Prio, Amato, Torello and others. Ironically, it was Nick Boscarino (son of Angelo mentioned above) who extorted the kids of Tony Borsellino and that case is still active today:
https://casetext.com/case/boscarino-v-borsellino-in-re-borsellinoThanks for the compliment buddy, and same respect goes to you, too. In fact, you helped me many times in the past regarding specific info and I also think that you once gave me the idea and general info on the Outfits AZ crews, and Ill never forget that bud.
Regarding Wllie Jr, I always wondered if he was ever made since he brought a lot if money for the organization, but same as you, my senses are telling that he probably wasnt. Who knows, maybe the EP and Grand crews liked to keep him that way, so Jr can stay clean in the eyes of the public and his business partners and possibly his political connections?!
Also thanks for the additional info on the Daddanos probably still kicking up percentege, and also for the Boscarino case. Yes, since the old days some of these guys were known for extorting families of deceased members. Even non-Italian leaders like Gus Alex and even Lenny Patrick did the same stuff, like Alex allegedly extorting Guzik's kids after the death of the old man. Although, on the other hand, they also helped many families.
