That's all true. But I can't believe that was in the paper .

New York daily article had quotes of Asaro caught on a wire talking shit about his son.

Yeah, he couldn't stomach taking orders from him so stopped talking to him. Apparently nobody likes the guy.

It just goes to show that people don't know shit , everyone was touting asaro as a potential boss for years

And what have I been telling you about speculation since the day you signed up here?

Think about it. Exactly WHO has been "touting Asaro as boss," except for a bunch of Internet mob watchers who've never met a wiseguy in their lives? Certainly not the Bonannos .

Couldn't agree more pizzaboy

Just been over on the real deal forum and a lot of people r saying vinnie jnr basciano has his button ?? Apparently there saying that informants including Dominic cicale have verified this ?? Wots your take on that pizzaboy ?? U were saying that none of basciano's sons didn't have there button and to be honest I would take wot u said as read

Fuck that if he were to become boss, the Bonanno's would be in worse shape then they already are. I am almost positive I seen an interview with Henry Hill and I know he is an idiot as well but I do remember him mentioning something about Asaro being a bad drunk and one night at the social club he took a baseball ball to some guys head just for taking a bet on the team he did not agree with or something lie that.

I posted what I posted and I stand by it. Those kids grew up with my daughters four houses away from me. They're not made. These assholes on these sites make me laugh. Never met a real wiseguy. Probably never even been to New York. Yet they love to make believe they're "in the know" about things. The Bascianos have been through enough. Why won't these Internet mob geeks give that family a fucking break?

Vincent was proposed years back. But it never came to be because his father was indicted before they could straighten him out. If anything good came out of what happened to the father, that's it.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it .

I'm gonna go on and tell them they r all fuckin clueless then ha ha

No, don't. That will just get them over here with their phony troll accounts again. The mods here have enough to deal with.

Leave it alone for me .

Hey, I'm one of those "internet mob geeks"!

Ha ha , I was only jokin . I don't wanna start a war between the two families

Ha ha so am I snakes

I'm not talking about you guys, Snakes. You know better than that .

add me to that list as well :lol

I'm not talking about you either, Tommy .

Of course not, although sometimes I feel like one of those desk guys in the military that never sees any action and guys like PB and Skinny are the crusty, hardened vets.

The only crusty thing about Skinny is his drawers. It's that Georgia heat.

Love ya, Skin .

What about Nicky Santora? He's a old guy thats got his button under Carmine Galante.

Is it possible he's running the Bonnannos?

I doubt he wants it. But he's as good a choice as any .

Lol PB you crusty buddy?

I wouldn't be surprised if Santora is the Boss, He has been in the Bonannos for atleast 40 years now. Hes very low-key too and has survived most of his contemporaries, such as Napolitano, Ruggiero, Trinchero, Giaccone, Massino.

The guys name was actually Randy(Randolph) Pizzolo not Ralph.

Except it seems he cant stop getting himself indicted.

Little bit. It's humid in NYC today .


He'd be a good one. But he ain't the boss.


And this is why.

Who really knows who is boss of the Bonannos? I think that a couple old-timers are running things now and just said that Mancuso is boss so everyone can focus on him being on top while they try to keep the family above water. Then when Mancuso gets out, the heat is still on him (which doesn't matter to most of the family because Mancuso isn't highly respected, as PB said.).

I agree with everything here with one caveat: The Feds aren't stupid. They know everything these days (whether they can prove it or not is another story). They have to know that Mancuso is just a lightning rod. And by the time he gets out, the dust will have settled and everyone will know what's what.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if they had no one really running the show, the talk on the street from guys close to Mancuso is hes going to run the show, but what does that really mean when hes in prison, i believe down south, and the guys hes supposedly boss of are on the street, like PB said 5 years is a long time no one knows what the streets are going to be like then, but i wouldn't be surprised if they were running things like the Luccheses were when Matyy, and Joey were running the show with help form other Captains.

Another thing , wen electing a boss the captsins have to vote a boss in , if it's true what everyone is saying that this guy isn't popular at all he wouldn't have been voted in , in the first place , which defo leads to me to believe he is a lightening rod for someone else . Who is anyone's guess , maybe it's a young up and coming guy like wen they appointed montagna acting boss
