Yeah from what I gather he was heavy but he must of disliked Anguilo to a degree because he through his support behind ray Jr an not Anguilo at the end

I beleive zannino was top capo in Boston under Anguilo if you read the book he almost gives all his orders through him or his brothers

The Under Boss was written by Gerard O'Neil and Dick Lehr, I think they were Globe or Herald reporters. The best part about the book is the chapters on getting the bug in place. It'll mean more if you have walked the streets of the North End and can see how tight everything is. Those streets were not really made for cars.

Zannino was old school and would never had gone against Sr's wished that Jr' take over. I think his relationship with Anguilo was solid as they made much money together. Gerry was the brains and Larry the muscle.

Agreed...zannino has a lot of soldiers reporting to him..those chapters were so interesting how they bugged the dog house..

Didn't that convict Connelly drop those bugs? Sneaky sneaky.

Maybe this has already been asked but Im too lazy to look thru 27 pages of posts... Whos r some of the biggest guys in boston? When it comes to jersey, i know my shit, NY, a little less. I know a little about philly (mostly the North Jersey guys tho)... But I dont no shit about boston... Thanks.

No, you should read the book, it's great. The FBI put a team together and they made repeated attempts in the middle of the night, with the help of a locksmith, to gain entry and put the bugs in place. They had to contend with look outs, residents, delivery trucks, etc. They picked a freezing cold night when street traffic would be low and finally got in after 2 failed attempts.

The first time they almost %^$# their pants as when they got to the door they heard voices. It turns out a radio and TV were left on 24/7, lol...

Connolly was on the team that listened to tapes, etc and they got the floor plan from Stephen "the riffleman" flemmi, Whitey's sidekick...

Ordering a copy. Same authors as Black Mass it says? Another book I have been wanting to read

Thats hilarious! I read parts of Rita Gigantes Book about Chins house in the village. He was afraid to leave bc he was scared agents would break in when he wasnt there! He had bars over the windows, which were painted black lol. Talk about paranoid.

yes, black mass is great...UB is better, one of the best mob reads you can get..

Skinny the heavy guys on the street right now are peter limone,,spucky spagnolo,,,vinny ferrara,,jimmy martarano,,those are the higher Ups to me..an hell frankie Anguilo is still alive an on the street lol

Thanks meffa. These all boston skippers? Anybody left in Providence? Thanks bro.

Yes..besides limone..the feds have I think 4 made guys listed in prov not much left ...your welcome

Meffa! Your forgetting Russo and the "coffee shop boys"! Thier the Patriarca family hit squad! Youse know that! Youse forgot! G

Lol....well I didn't list carozza an biagio diagicomo because I think there retired

Or just under the feds radar

Another thing about carozza he might be shelved from the fam because after the war he was in on...just a thought

First everyone knew about vegas nights and its clientle nothing new or something kept a secret second carrozza is not shelved his crowd never dealt with rossetti crowd an eastie guy and other factions he was never really liked from beginning in anguilo days and the war was against salemme was carried over from late 80s to 96 97and salemme turned rat so can't b that bad and why ferrara not shelved he was part of renegade faction ....biago is semi big time but the main players the adm add quintina to that list

And philips exteter preppy russo was hit squad for ray sr if you didn't. Know he was sent to tne colombos wars with nicky bianco mad dog nazarian pop werner bobo and more real killers came back and was doing hits to help settle the boston gang wars back then , clips barboza ,mediator between howie bulger etc, clips the underboss shoots salemme, goes to gotti gets ok to force change admn thrats to wack ray jr boss stepped down lol, start a war ...joe russo was one of the best at what he does

^^^ What are you trying to say here man

please stop this bullshit on this boston page, who cares what you read, what you heard, or if your related to somebody in the mix. your here just to post yours thoughts or knowledge on the issue. stop calling people out cause its stupid. as a masshole we no limone runs the show the genovese in worcester and springfield are finished or very low right now, like not shaking down every stripclub passed the river. but who knows who the acting bosses are in boston and prov. providence got aleast 12 guys on the strret its my guess they have about 200k italian people, in a million man state.

What is thatyour hometeam

Reminds me of the portrayal of Providence guys in the Sopranos when they were planning to use Prov for the hit on Johnny Sack.

too funny.

12 is way to high the feds have made guys on the street at 4 to 6 there could be some under thee radar but i don't think so

Just kidding... Go on...

I don't think 12 is high, there's always been a lot of guys down there and many of them never make the news...

There are 13 known LCN members left in Providence. But 7 of them are in prison and a few others are inactive. But that's not counting whatever associates are left.

Head over to Fed Hill and take a stroll down Atwells Ave on a sunny afternoon - You will see that there is plenty of action.

Ivy summed it up perfect 13 with seven in jail...an I said 4 or so on the street so that's pretty accurate..an ray Jr is on the street but I don't no his involvemet...so yes I was right..an I said in a earlier post there might be a few under the radar..an I was talking the guys on the street
