IVY I was under the impresion vetre was not made. By the way thanks for posting that list, very comprehensive including the incative guys, the ones doing serious time, and the ones from scarfo and stanfa factions.

I dont think there are taht many guys over there. Id say 30 on the street tops. Then again, thats just my opinon based on the chart from the 5 families site.

Your wrong, Its at least 50 members,I personally believe there's 5 or 10 more even

I count 31. Thats including the guys like borgesi ligambi merlino nicodemo who arent on the street in philly

Vetere was made at the same ceremony Bobby Luisi Jr. and Mikey Virgilio were. It was around the time, in the late 1990's, when Natale was busted for parole violation and Merlino became acting boss.



That chart at the link you posted isn't official. It was made from a poster here on this forum; largely from info of other posters. The chart I posted is the most up-to-date, correct chart you'll find. It was done by a former RD poster who has the best research by far. Each one of those names is verified. And again, check out the 2004 New Jersey OC report, which cites approximately 50 members for Philadelphia. Notice that, as well as the chart I posted, are total members. Not just active on the street, which would maybe be half that.

Philly's same as NE, about 30 made guys on the street.

Yeah half of that on the street would be 25-30. Thats not a bad number.

What's Junior Staino up to these days? I never hear about him I thought he was either dead or in prison.

Not even.

Which ones got more Ted? I was under the impression they were in the same boat number wise

I think he died recently.

I meant that neither have 30 active made guys on the street.

From what I can tell Philly is the bigger one of the two, I count 55 with 15 in prison currently, I don't think any of us can say who's active or otherwise however likely it may be so I include them in the total,

How big is Lancelottis crew in South Philly?

philly and N.E are about as close as 2 families can be, both in size and level of activity. without counting, i believe both have around 50 members. N.E may have a few more out on the street right now, with i believe 20-25 in boston, and 7-8 in providence.

I heard that Ralph Staino died in November last year.

Does the 2nd Philly crew (suburban rackets) discussed a couple pages ago operate in Delaware area? Wilmington, etc.

i Doubt somone who has a facebook, is calling any of the shots for a criminal organization.... damnn 2013, we make soo easy for the government to keep tabs on us and invade our privacies.
