is the frank the firman porco still alive i was just reading a old vinny gorgrous article he wanted his crew to beat up porco over a gambling beef. talk about no respect for your elders. guess he was a spero bk guy hed be in late 80tys. i wonder who the bonannos old guy still living like its the old days guy is. rabito

andy russo the on again off is committed to the mafia he dont get to fucks dieing in jail or not. hes getting up there

I wonder what they mean my still active especially for those over 70. BY 80 I think active might mean showing up to check in on occasions. Then they go home and fall asleep.

Does anyone have a picture of the Albert Gallo group member named Punchy who had his photo taken in front of what appeared to be a social club? He was asleep in a chair. I believe it was taken a year before his death.

Active means they are still participating in crimes. Even at 80 a guy you can be part of it.

George Barone ?

by law enforcement standards if an 85 year old guy got caught speaking to a made guy in the street he would be considered "active"

John McCain's mother is 106 and still relatively lucid.

An 85 year old can still contribute in some way - like a Franzese or an Ianniello.

It's not like the 55 year olds are out breaking thumbs either.

Ianiello may have been still participating, but Franzeze has not for years. He was in prison for so long, and the case that sent him back was more a case of them waiting him locked up for spite. There is no evidence of him being active now.

That’s the guy chinky! U have a good memory pmac.

And regarding the other guy - why would a lifelong mob guy whos that old rat? U only have a few more years just live it out in pen and die respectable and loved in your chosen profession/lifestyle.

Not that I’m condoning that lifestyle (before any busybody gets on me). Just if they live for that it’s too late to rat just as your about to die is all, just to avoid prison..

Wrong as usual.

Wrong how?

If this is the picture you are referring to it's of Dom DiQuarto not Punchy Illiano

That's not it, there is another one of Illiano, who is more slumped dover in his chair, and does not look like that guy in photo.

Had some extra money returned to my credit card so joined capeci columns again been about yr. 1 of the 1st things i read dominic truscello the old luchese prince st capo died last month he was out on bail and was active well into his 80tys. He comes up alot in al darcos book.

There is a photo of Illiano slumped over in the chair, with a skinny grey haired man looks like he is walking towards him as if to awaken him or straighten him up.

Jace is (pretty much) right. The crimes John Franzese were charged with in 2010 were from, at the latest, 2007, which is when John Franzese Jr. was taken off the streets when he completed his undercover work.

So you meant Andy Russo? I suggested George Barone but then you said a guy nearly in his 100s so I thought Albert Facchino who was indicted at 96

That’s his full name japs! - facchiano is who I meant. He said he would whack someone if he got the order in his 90s!

Wow I thought for sure that was the picture you were talking about. How many pictures are there of guys sitting in front of a social club asleep in a chair lol. I guess more than one.

theres a picture of that guy punchy taking a nap somewhere on here. its not that old its in red hook or carol gradens infront of a deli i think. it was posted in gangland when he died a few yrs back. small side story vic orena swore revenge on punchy and kid blast and i think those 2 didnt get inducted into the genovese family til after orena got life. the colombos would block them everytime there names floated around. they must have killed someone close to vic cause its pissed him off. when he was acting boss he said to someone he get them back 1 day

for turning there back on the family. gets its was a slight

sonny franses also called kid blast a dawg to his wired up son in 2006

Probably enough for a picture thread. I believe there are hundreds of pictures never released for every one they release.

It would be nice to hear from these guys before they die especially Sonny Franzese, Charles Panarella, Albert Gallo, Corky, Baby Shacks and few others. I thought about writing to some of the guys while they are in prison and see what they say. I don't know what it is but I always found it very fascinating about these guys the last men standing who go back to a bygone era, most of them were arrested in the 30s and 40s, the transformation to today is huge

Charles Panarella already passed away this past July in Nevada, leaving only Donnie Shacks the only known made member of the Colombo crime family on the west coast.

For those who haven't seen it...this was posted on this board about a year ago. Charlie Moose Panarella talking with his lawyer. Starts at 36:31

maybe Oak will shave his ballsack hair and send it to Carmine Persico in a letter

That was when Panarella was not confined to a scooter, with an oxygen tank on back. Can you imagine The Moose chasing down someone who owes him money in that?

Not denying this but how do you know he died? there is absolutely nothing online about his death and the fact that we were speaking about him IN JULY makes it seem odd

also I think getting a guy in his 90s to kill someone is a great idea. The victim wouldn't suspect anything. Someone like Charles would just need a gun and when the other guy has his face turned round or something then a couple shots in the face and head. But no a 90+ guy wouldn't be able to chase a guy down for money lol obviously not
