he has? i thought he took over muscarella's bronx based crew. i know muscarella was 116th street capo at one point but i thought he ran a separate east bronx crew after. i could see these guys rotating capos.

falcetti got taken down by one of the biggest bumbling idiots of a snitch in recent mob history. the fact that him and members of his crew let some reality tv reject get that close to him doesnt look good. plus falcetti was a capo and was directly loaning the snitch money?? come on

Yet numerous local and federal law enforcement officials confirm that Barney Bellomo is the reigning boss of the powerful Genovese crime family while overseeing a lucrative empire of his own.

These sources say Bellomo earns substantial rental income every month from numerous apartment buildings worth millions of dollars that he owns in the Bronx and northern suburbs — where he still resides when he is not in his Miami Beach condo on Collins Avenue.

Bellomo also has financial interests in construction companies that he uses to repair and refurbish rundown apartment buildings he buys, the law enforcement sources say.

Yaeh nigro acting or bumped to capo when that guy Ernie m was in jail in the early 2000s n was bumped to acting boss pretty quick its in nitro appeal that Springfield reporter posted. Pat deluca was a capo to n buster ardito all in that area during them years its says. Just thinking we know the mob doesn't have nothing like they did 20 30 years ago but for the first time no only the 5 families but Philly and new england have bosses in place. The decaf family boss riggi died so I'm sure they replaced him probably at his funeral. And the federal prison system keeps all the lcn guys in contact.

My understanding is that Bellomo and Muscarella are from the same crew. Both were acting bosses and on the ruling panel. Falcetti is also from that crew and appears to be the captain now. Like Nigro was captain before and Moscatiello was acting captain.

thanks. yeah we talk about how much of a powerhouse this crew is and how most of its captains rise to the administration. do you think since falcetti is captain of this crew now, is it safe to say that muscarella has some sort of admin position?

also, falcetti is in prison afaik...for a while. so someone must be acting for him. any ideas?

do you have a 116th street crew succession chart? figured you would be the one to ask lol. doesnt even have to be from way back, im just curious who ran this crew since gigante's death.

lastly, cirillo wasnt a part of this crew right? he had his own crew? wonder who is running that now

Lol @ moe Tilden. ohhh no some killers got killed. Oh my god some guy paid a lot of juice because he couldn't stop gambling. Whose lives were ruined? let's be real, maybe there are better causes to fight for

Deadbeat gamblers, down on their luck businessmen and drug addicts aren't killers.

Bellomo is a murdering shitbag. And other people's money paid for his daughter's education so she could be house counsel for the mob.

It is what it is.

I think it's disgusting to overlook things like this when neglecting to mention how she was put through law school. When other people's parents work their asses off to put their children through school.

Not to mention Everett Hatcher, the prosecutors and jurists whose families and children have been threatened over the years, the civilians injured & killed during the Colombo War, Kubecka/Barstow murders, profiting over 9/11....

Want me to go on some more?

Don't come at me with the moral high ground G.R.

It's not a battle you are going to win. I'm not a keyboard gangster or mafia fantasist (shout out to my detractors).

I'm no fanboy and have no real inclination towards defending them or lionising them.

Wow, I wasn't aware Moe Tilden actually sensibly replied to posts instead of drabbling off a few half witted one line comments.

I guess you learn something every day

It is what it is.

She's not even a criminal attorney, Moe. She has her own, small, general practice business, often working directly from home. She's more likely to help you close a real estate deal or handle a bankruptcy than defend a client in criminal court. So how is that "house counsel" to the mob?

If you made your argument for a kid like Jo-Jo Junior, I'd be the first one to agree with you. He wants to be a wiseguy more than he wants to be a lawyer, and I think that he'll eventually get disbarred for it.

But Sabrina? Please. She has a cousin. Same age and gender. Same last name. And she's also an attorney, but downtown. But her old man isn't famous, so she doesn't get any of this shit. Nor should she, for she's a fine lawyer and a decent person.

You and I don't see eye-to-eye on much, Moe. But I do appreciate you mentioning that I have a sense of humor in a thread that was brought to my attention to me by a friend today. I haven't even lurked the Internet in months for personal reasons that I don't care to get into right now. So two things:

1) You can choose your friends but you can't choose your family.

2) Sabrina's situation is nothing like you posted. That's a fact, not an opinion. So it's not something I'll ever "agree to disagree" with.

And I'll just add that her brothers are nowhere near the life either. Managing your Dad's legit properties isn't a crime. I hope to have my son or one of my daughters do the same for me some day soon.

I hope all is well "across the pond," Moe. But I can't get stressed, that's why I've been laying off the Internet. Arguing with people who you don't even know isn't worth dropping dead of a heart attack for.

This is a one post "comeback." And if you notice, I didn't get into the main topic of Barney at all, except to say that I posted most of that stuff years ago---the buildings, the closeness of his immediate family, the Florida property, which is actually not in Miami Beach, it's in Bal Harbour. Call it semantics, but a journalist should get the minor details right. And a few other things.

Point being, I only dropped by tonight to defend a young lady who was raised as well as a member of the gentry. So like I said, this is a one post "comeback" because I can't get stressed out. But I hope to be back some day.

Thanks to all of my friends here. I like to think that I have more of you guys than I have critics. But even if I don't, none of the negativity can touch some of the nice things said about me in my absence by you guys. I am humbled. Hope to be posting soon.

Moe, do you really expect every mobster kid to renounce their parents?

It's just an unrealistic thing to ask. She's not a criminal. Leave her out of it.

What would be the point of switching from a ruling panel to one boss?

Is it possible this info is being put out into the public domain in preparation for new indictments against the "new boss"?

It would be somwhat more difficult to make a [RICO] case that someone is on a panel, wouldn't it?
