Recent allegation of unrest within the Bonanno crime family centered around reputed capo John Palazzolo has seemingly led to the prison relocation of other high ranking members.
Palazzolo was caught meeting with fellow New York mafia members which was a violation of his parole restrictions and was sentenced to a year in prison. The feds claimed that meetings between Palazzolo and other Bonanno members were part of an internal beef, which may have led to violence within the crime family. Seems these recent events are responsible for the Bonanno family split up from the prison in Danbury, Connecticut.
“Michael Mancuso“
Michael Mancuso the reputed boss of the Bonanno family was first to be moved getting shipped from Danbury to a federal prison in Seagoville, Texas near Dallas. The 60 year old Mancuso is not set to be released from prison until 2019. One of the mobsters Palazzolo was caught meeting with was Frank “Frankie Boy” Salerno the nephew of Mancuso, who was allegedly delivering messages from his uncle to Palazzolo. Also relocated was former Bonanno street boss Anthony “Tony Green” Urso, who took over family for a year after then boss Joseph Massino was indicted back in 2003. Urso was moved from Danbury to a prison in Beaumont, Texas.
The Bureau of prison declined to comment on any official reasons for the relocation of the New York mob leaders pointing to privacy issues. But sources confirmed that the deputy chief of the Brooklyn U.S. Attorney’s organized crime unit Nicole Argentieri requested the transfers citing Palazzolo’s case as evidence that the Bonanno family was still being run by Mancuso from nearby Danbury prison.
Queens and Brooklyn guys don’t accept mancuso he only has the Bronx pananozzo had been with the Bronx guys and frank is just a kid who got a button because of the family relationship. Frank tried lucheses first but the guys said no joey and those bronx guys. No one likes mikey nose he whacked his own wife a bully he can have the Bronx but queens and Brooklyn won’t accept. Staten island are influenced by queens where the power is forget mansuco queens is the power
I have a hard time believing he was running things from the can as i really think he is carrying that “boss” title in name only. Seemed like a pretty ease way for the feds to crap on the “official boss” one more time while he is inside.
dont get me wrong the bronx faction is his but its a broken faction i know i have said this many times but it is destroyed a bunch of kids running it his nephew used to be with the lucheses but they said he could not get made so he swtiched over to the bonnanos. A 77 year old man who never was anyone really powerful he chose to be his buffer between queens and brooklyn for the bronx please.
The guys queens,staten island,brooklyn and florida are letting mikey nose take the heat he wants to be boss fine let him he wont be out till 2019 when he gets out then he will realize (i think he already knows the guy is dumb but not that dumb) he is not the boss and they wont kick up but like i said in queens they are running there own things dont mind mikey being boss more heat for him less for him
the only guys who i know of that like the guy the other families dont mikey has limted influence
Mancuso is no more the boss of the bonnanos as I am of the Genovese family , the only real bonnano crew left in the Bronx with any respect or influence is the spirito crew , the dads in jail and the son has fallen in line with the queens and Long Island crews . What does that tell u ?? The Bronx faction died wen spirito , and bascisno were jailed . Mancuso was murdered and patty difillipo died
completly agree mate when spitro,vinny and johnny joe went away that faction collapsed. Mancuso is boss of a bunch of kids hmmmmm real crew he has his nephew who got turned down for membership with the lucheses
If mancuso is the boss it means he has territory if because some of his capo’s in the family have to have territory in the Brooklyn faction. Former bonanno boss Vincent Baldalamenti has been running the bensonhurst Brooklyn part of the faction atlease the last 10 to 15 years before he did his last bid. Then you still got all the guys the feds still having trouble pinching who are not even on the faction list. Graziano family is also another family that has connections out in Brooklyn but rumor there might be a younger crew that’s part of that family who is running there parts out there because the feds have to much heat on Anthony graziano. I believe the bonanno family is still a huge family in the new York faction but the chances of this family being dead is probably not realistic.
What are you talking about?
Anthony graziano is shelved. The bonnanos in bensonhurst are near dead vinny tv is one of the real leaders and he dont care what mancuso thinks boss of what a bunch of kids in the bronx you have not mentioned any of the big players.
“young kids” are in the bronx the leader is the nephew salerno who got turned down from the lucheses and a man in his late 70s hmmm real big crew. Johnny joe last real gangster there who is going to get out of prison and he moved his guys to queens he is not going back to the bronx. Brooklyn guys are strong but queens are the real power vinny tv got guys in queens . long island got some heavy guys
you have missed out the real power guys queens is the stronghold
mancuso is the boss in his own mind
Will be monitoring “anthonytodarotheboss” for a while and move accordingly if this continues.
thanks shady
it is ridiculous i have a feeling its the same guy on different accounts very weird loves commenting on my posts
i will just flag any more comments like this
can you look at this “mafia expert” he is the same troll we keep banning. He is not only insulting john and me he comes out with complete rubbish trying to stir things up with people on the site can you ban him
Let me guess ur not from the united states
So if you think mancuso is not the boss the feds don’t have a clue on whats going with the bonnano family or they are already corrupted and the real boss is paying them off which means this family power is got to be a lot higher then what you think. And if that is the case that means the real boss is running the town pretty good because there has to be over thousands to millions a members and I don’t think they are just running one city I think have more then one part of town which means they can’t catch them all because they are corrupted or its to many of them. The chances of the mafia being dead is not real because there are to many Sicilians,neo’s, Italians in this world today
Not necessarily that the feds don’t know whats going on with in the bonanno family its simply that Mancuso hold’s the rank of boss “officially”. But that designation by the feds doesn’t mean he is running things on the streets , as we have seen plenty times before the “boss” tag doesn’t always equal to the current leader or leadership esp when guys are in the can.
first of dont like your own comment its embarrassing
mancuso is the offical boss so what he has no influence only in the bronx. No one said they were not powerful or gone. The recent acting boss was tommy g he was queens until mikey nose is out of prison he has limted power and when he does get out watch in 2019 three things will happen number 1 he never gets out of prison(feds want him for the medish murder) number 2 he gets whacked (all the other families hate him except the howard beach crew and some colombos and his own family in queens dislike him) 3. it all ends quietly he becomes a capo in the bronx (this is what i think personally will happen)
different states cities what are you smoking?
they exist in queens, brooklyn, staten isalnd and to a certain degree the bronx thats it. They have a crew in new jeresy and some guys in florida and they have a couple of guys running a book in LA thats it.
FBI stated recently they have 100 made guys and around a 1000 associates. The biggest family the genovese family only has 200 made guys.
There is 700 made guys in New York, and around 150 outside of new york.
the bonnano family at is height only ha around 150 made guys and the only other country or state was canada.
the mob does not “run a city”
have you not seen new york lately its all gangs in most of these places the five familys are strong but they are not running a city and they are certainly a shadow of there former selfs.
I think you need do a bit of reserach
I see you are one of those guys that believe everything the feds give you on the faction list you are really are not that smart how many times do you think they keep putting up bull crap to cover there ass because they don’t have enough on the real guys because there corrupted in the government and paid off just like Joe Bonnano did. He was a killer and he never did any real time his whole entire life because he corrupted the system and he was crazy wealthy just like he left behind billions for his whole entire family. Vito Genovese another corrupted g that never did any real time and is got away with running one of the biggest organzined crime familes and the family still exist today. Daniel the leo the lion corrupt and still doing very little time and and now he sitting on his ass doing nothing but running the family and the listed saying he got away with murder. Steve Crea gets out of jail and still running the streets or do you think its still vic amuso which I do believe he is one of the leaders of the family not the leader. The Italian faction is a lot bigger then you think like I just said. To many Sicilians neo’s and Italians.
ok you have come out with some pointless statements
1) stop embarrassing yourself your credibility has already gone with your ” thousands if not millions” of statement
2) you actually though gratanizo was still in the mob
3)Joe Bonnano and Vito Genovese were a long time ago cant be compared to the mob of today which is a shadow of its former self
4)Daniel Leo was a quiet smart guy who made alot of money but he was very old school and low key all those genovese guys are he wads one of the lucky ones he is the expetion to the rule of heavy prison time or death
5) Steve crea is the boss all the power is in the bronx its him hooks and joey DiNapoli running the show
vic amuso is boss in name since steve has become boss he has lost all influence i know vic got scarfo the new jeresy top spot but that was n 2007 and he got demoted very quickly.
the brooklyn lucheses are in a mess and thats where vics power was all those guys who tried to kill steve back in the 90s are from they are all shelved the bronx won the war against brooklyn
vic has little to know power even capeci said that
6) Italien population and neigbourhoods are on decline there recruimtent pool is there but it is getting smaller and the old neigbourhoods are gone even bensonhurst is changing
dont understand your point of the italien population being bigger
7) i judge the size of the mob from rats and what i see and what i hear not just speculation and capeci and indictments tapes tell the story
8)there is five familys in new york three of which are doing well the other two are struggling outside new york all the other families philly, new england chicago detroit and decavs are doing ok but nothing like the old days
9) have you not read my previous posts i clearly stated that i disagree with the feds about mancuso running the family how can i be agreeing with everything the feds say?
Mancuso is the boss in name
you dont understand how much i hate the feds the deals they make with some of these guys like sammy the bull or how i hate these journalists like ed scarpo who have given guys like alite and dom circale a platform even though both are thugs and lyers (dom trying to shake down basancios family according to capeci)
stop making dumb statements if you have a question ask but dont make statements out of speculation do you live in amercia or in any city which has mob operating
millions i still cant get over that i wonder what you were smoking when you said that
I think you still believe everything the feds are giving you on the faction site your dumb. like I just said the feds are pay off because it’s Sicilians,neo’s, Italians who got good and they make it look like something its not. And you miss one steve crea is in businesses like the corporate offices which means he is in corporate corruption which means you don’t know what the hell you talking about when it comes to the bonnano family because who ever is your reporter in the street he has no clue what he is talking about. And if you know Daniel so much the what is his last name ohh my bad you don’t know. Because your not in the mafia. lol. But don’t you find it funny that they are still sitting with millions of dollars a year and they can’t get lock but for a short time for attempted murder.
READ WHAT I WROTE
