Carm it also appears that nobody else seems to know the exact name of the bakery he works at either.... Yet all these sites claim to have some new inside scoop... stealing from capeci smh. And capecis interns probly steal info from here. Agreed! And this article is written by the same Murray Weiss, who originally put out that Cali was up for boss. Now he's in fucking shit over it and had to somehow retract his first bullshit article. Now I know why the same mistakes are made, it's the same douchebag writing it. And yeah yeah, i know...Murray Weiss is a reputable journalist, blah blah blah...

I made a special trip to slow down bc i wanted to see his house when i was on my way from jersey to bk, i cut thru the hill and went by his house and saw it parked there. You mustve mentioned it to someone else, i didnt know if it was his or not, pretty bad, that car screams gangster. I know a lot of guys get black benzes and caddys to look the part, but still, if u actually fit the profile, id steer clear of flashy shit, drive a buick like you were from the bronx.... Idk how these papers keep saying hes low key... its ridiculous. Hes no john gotti but hes far FAR from chin.

I was just talking about Cali's car about a month ago because my husband had just gotten a red sl550 and it came up in conversation. Except ours doesn't have the blacked windows and my husband added the whole bottom kit and low profile rims, etc. The car is sick and I'm allowed to drive it! lol What was I talking about? I got stuck talking about myself again.  Anyway, it's Cali's.

I think you may be exactly right about that. He was the only one to have reported on Cali getting the top slot. Nobody else backed that story up and now this may be his way of retracting the original story. Congrats on the SL550, thats a real sweet ride.

Here is the original full article by Murray Weiss on the DNAInfo site. http://www.dnainfo.com/new-york/20130718/little-italy/mob-pick-for-gambino-godfather-turns-down-jobMob Pick for Gambino Godfather Turns Down the Job By Murray Weiss July 18, 2013 NEW YORK CITY — They made him an offer — but he refused. Francesco “Franky Boy” Cali, the heir apparent to the Gambino Crime Family throne, turned down the honor to become “Godfather” of the nation’s largest Mafia organization, sources told “On The Inside.” At a stunning, secret mob summit on June 29, the powerful, 49-year-old Brooklyn-based capo shocked his Gambino bosses and fellow captains by telling them that he would eschew position. Four days before the meeting, “On The Inside" reported that Cali was the choice among his comrades, who respected Cali’s strong low-key, old-world approach to doing business successfully without attracting fanfare or agita. But Cali told his brothers that while he was moved by their support, he would not accept the promotion to run the family’s billion-dollar concerns. “I don’t need the money, the headaches. I am OK with things and I am below the radar and not an attention-seeker,” Cali told his Gambino brethren, according to sources. And, one source said, the Gambinos understood — or at least that’s the party line. After all, along with receiving vastly lucrative cash tribute from every corner of the sprawling crime family, there are headaches that would make Tony Soprano’s head spin, including having to accept an outsized bulls-eye on one’s back from law enforcement, if not from gangsters upset with his decision to pass up the job. One thing is certain: Cali would not be kidding about his wealth. Sources say he practically runs the city’s food industry and is worth an estimated $30 million from those businesses, real estate holdings and cafés he owns. But some law enforcement sources are not so quick to believe the talk that Cali turned down the job. They say it may be a Mafia “disinformation” campaign designed to throw off law enforcement. “Why would he turn down a job where all the other captains want him?” a skeptical veteran mob hunter asked. “If they thought he would not take it, they would not have picked him.” Cali — a native New Yorker who traces his roots firmly to Sicily — was set to take over the Gambinos because the current boss, Domenico "Greaseball" Cefalu, 76, who is also a native Sicilian, indicated he wanted to step aside to allow his younger protégé to take the reins of the family's lucrative gambling, loansharking and construction rackets. Cefalu, who has a long history of heroin smuggling and has done several stints in prison, took over a family once ruled by John “The Dapper Don” Gotti and the group's infamous namesake, Carlo Gambino. Cefalu reduced the public profile and broke with the flashy, headline-grabbing era marked by Gotti, whose visage once graced the cover of Time magazine. Gotti died of throat cancer in prison in 2002. Sources say Cefalu wanted Cali to take his place, and so did the other captains who were looking to Cali to breathe some money-making life back into their ranks. Cali’s parents immigrated to Brooklyn from Palermo, Italy, and he got his start in the mob by running a fruit store on 18th Avenue in Brooklyn called Arcobaleno, which means "rainbow" in Italian. The feds say it doubled as a front for criminal activities. Cali made his bones under the Gottis while operating in Manhattan, Brooklyn and New Jersey. According to the FBI, he officially became the Gambino "ambassador to the Sicilian Mafia" and a rising star when Gotti and Salvatore "Sammy Bull" Gravano roamed the city, ruling rackets and murdering dozens of people. He eventually married into mob royalty when he wed the daughter of one of the Inzerillos, who are known as one of the Mafia powerhouses in Italy. He is also a nephew of John and Joseph Gambino, who are influential hoods connected to the famous “Pizza Connection” drug trafficking case of the 1980s. If the Gambinos are forced back to the Godfather drawing board, sources say they may go out of town for a successor, and are considering a top hood in the Connecticut faction of the family. It remains to be seen on surveillance video, or heard on wiretaps, precisely what the truth is. Over the past several decades, and thanks to the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act, the feds have severely reduced the influence of the Gambinos and the other four crime families, breaking their grip on the billion-dollar labor union and construction industries.

"considering a top hood in the Connecticut faction of the family"
Who the hell could that possibly be? Isn't the currently-in-the-can Anthony Megale the boss of that faction? He seems pretty low-rent (and associated with morons like Greg DePalma) along with constantly being in the can. If he was so powerful, you think someone would have been made in CT in the last 25 years.

Should probably ask Mr. Kierney. I guess if you're Italian, you should be in prison. I've read the RICO Act, and I can tell you it's more appropriate... for some of those guys over in Washington than it is for me or any of my fellas here

Especially the tires and rims. And totally practical! As long as I dont hit any speed bumps, speed humps, pot holes, manholes, ANY holes, big rocks or go over train tracks, it's awesome.

what a load of horse shit. Who the fuck wrote that article??? Like what is some captain calling up fox news and saying "Hey guess what Frank turned down the top job!". Fucking bullshit. Even assuming he turned it down, (or was even offered it) theyre still fucking liars bc they claim to have a source who was at that meeting.
FOX NEWS===BUNCH OF CLOSET COCKSUCKERS.... +1000 Weiss lost me at.... 'The nations largest borgata', after that, it really turned to shit.
MORGAN: Why didn't you fight him at the park if you wanted to? I'm not goin' now, I'm eatin' my snack. CHUCKIE: Morgan, Let's go. MORGAN: I'm serious Chuckie, I ain't goin'. WILL: So don't go.

Vincent "Vinny Butch" Corrao should be next boss.
From now on, nothing goes down unless I'm involved. No blackjack no dope deals, no nothing. A nickel bag gets sold in the park, I want in. You guys got fat while everybody starved on the street. Now it's my turn.

Nobody wants the job. Look at what happened to every Gambino boss and potential boss for the past 20 years.
