I apologize if this has been discussed but I cant find a concrete answer..I know Snakes still listed as boss but who is the acting boss/street boss? Ive read mush Russo was but I also read hes on supervised release and retired? Ive seen some cites say Tom Farese is acting boss? Is it Donnie shacks? Or is it a name im prolly missing as an admitted mob novice??

Curious as to any insight the more knowledgeable posters may have if they have a ruling panel or an actual acting boss..I believe that families power has always been in Bk.

Reports have Donnie Shacks as acting underboss, but that's hard to believe he'd have that spot from cali and why would he want it. He's got a good kife out ther...

Read somewhere mush russo's soon billy holds a lot of sway within the family , not sure how true that is

Andy Mush

Isn't he in prison?

Who's calling the shots on the outside right now?

He got out in 2013

My mistake. Didn't realize he got time served.

Colombos seem like a fucking mess.

Can't see mush Russo being very active he is in his 80s

You would never know it if you herd him speak with out knowing his age,you would think he was a young 65 ..if you did not know from Adam .

It's the first time in a long time that they are functioning ..

fair comment , they also have captains Michael catapano and Michael uvino being released next year, that will replenish the ranks with experience

My guess is not many resources are committed to them right now

They pretty much BK and LI anyway

LI LE IMO has never done much and this coming from a guy with over 20 relatives there from O Park to U dale to CI

They could stabilize , who knows

I heard they had some good construction stuff but think I heard wrong

Probaly someone in the persico camp its work OK for them for the last 35+ years even if there doing life there still getting money. Snake brother teddy probaly off parole and passing on orders.

Have the Columbos ever had a strong presensce outside of Brooklyn and Long Island?

You herd right but it's all legitimate till proven other wise.

Thanks for the responses fellas..so donnie shacks is still in CA ur right long way to be acting.UB

So im gathering possibly Mush Russo with his kid and maybe Teddy persico when hes free of all restrictions?

db good point thats kinda why I was asking bc LE has kicked the shit outta them but I know theyre still a fam so was wondering who is in their admin..I mean if Russo is in his 80s but healthy and hes clearly respected maybe he is the acting boss day to daycalling shots?

Jw but do u guys think when Snake dies theyll be free from Persico relatives in charge or is Teddy strong enuff and respected enuff to continue on in that fam? Or another Persico relative im missing?

Wasn't Teddy Jr. pretty much running things on the outside before his last arrest?

Teddy jr won't be free until 2020,I think that only a guy that last name is Persico can run the family maybe Michael Persico even isn't made.

teddy persico sr. is the captain of that crew, teddy jr was the acting captain

Is thier any updated proof that carmine is still sending orders from jail or is he retired and allyboy have the last say?

Anyone know why Allie Boy's daughter committed suicide?

Neo thats mental health no one really knows but herself. I was bored and reading the scarpa files on the FBI vault the 5 6 issues. Greg scarpa was positive Michael persico was a inducted member in 88 89. He was spot on everyone else even other family's. But a bunch of the recent rats said he was not but he talked for Allie. And Sonny fransese said some real cryptic shit to a guy wearing a wire like he's into some real important secret shit and Sonny hoped he was gonna get into soon then he was indicted. He has to be going to jail soon he plead out 2+ years ago. Is that real old guy Joe t. Still alive he was a close guy might be dead. And you think that guy Joe baud----- is back up. Guess there all over Staten island to.

You all will hear whats been going on at the top of that family soon.
You will also find out who the power is in that family.

Also who has had a special arrangement ,like in Italy with high profile guys that do not want there mafia status known.(And it has been honored for 30 years)

You will know now..

You got Andy Russo who doesn't have a shit were he dies in jail or the street also lost his kid to a FBI frame job in prison that guy ain't gonna stop being a mobster. He took a pellet bean bag cause he wouldn't get off the phone in the mdc like 2 yrs ago and he don't give ashit he'll induct you in his jail cell like the kings. Then you got Carmine brother teddy so probaly them 2 and there kids. Read in capeci Michael goes to jail next week.

Thats where it's going to come out.
Some of it has been leaking for sometime but there are a few rats that have lots to say.

Carmine Persico is still official boss.

Though it hasn't been verified yet, it wouldn't surprise me if Andy Russo has resumed his role as acting boss.

Benjamin Castellazzo was indicted as official underboss so he likely retained the position while in prison. Now that he's out, or whenever he's off supervised release, the family wouldn't need Donnie Shacks as acting consigliere anymore.

If there is an official consigliere the feds haven't revealed it yet. Tom Farese is a captain who was acting consigliere but I'm not sure that's still the case.

He's in Florida virtually all year round now, Ivy. He lives about a quarter mile from our condo in Delray.

Tom farese interesting guy. Guess he's from east Boston went down Florida in the 70tys went to jail with some big Colombo guy down there met Allie persico daughter and married. Guy did a shit load of time guess heavy with the drugs and strip clubs down there. The guy did alot of time. I thought be was a bk guy that a tuff family to marry into.

He also has a house up on there estate up north ,but there is always a woman staying in it .
She is around 45 ish.

There is someone calling the shots for them . Thay are active and they are street or fronts.

Oh, I'm sure he kept a property or two up top. The only point I was trying to make is that he spends most of his time in Florida these days. Believe it or not, he has a piece of an Irish bar. The place is a fucking goldmine.
