Will Skinny Teddy Call The Shots for the Colombos? Or Joe Waverly?

By Ed Scarpo
To have been a fly on the wall at the downtown Brooklyn halfway house where the leading contenders for the slot of Colombo family boss, Theodore (Skinny Teddy) Persico Jr. and Joel (Joe Waverly) Cacace, both cooled their heels for months....


Unless the COVID-19 pandemic changed anything, Joe Waverly departed the Brooklyn Residential Reentry facility last Friday, May 22. Skinny Teddy still has a few more days to go before his slated May 29 release.

For now, Andrew (Mush) Russo is once again acting Colombo family boss.

Skinny Teddy Persico, 56, has been the presumed heir apparent since cousin Alphonse (Allie Boy) Persico, went away for life after his 2008 conviction for the 1999 murder of William (Wild Bill) Cutolo. Skinny Teddy's father, who died in 2017, was a brother of Carmine (Junior) Persico, the legendary and unpredictable boss of the Colombo crime family who died last year at the age of 85 while serving a 139-year sentence.

But before all that he appeared on an episode of Kitchen Nightmares in which he acted very much like the mobster he allegedly was trying to become around the time of filming. (See Peter's Italian Restaurant menu here.)






Back then Peter Pasta was an up-and-coming Bonanno associate who "earned" $15 grand a week from bookmaking.

At the time, he also owned two boats that he'd park in a pricey nearby Babylon harbor called Great South Bay.

Gang Land News's Jerry Capeci broke the news about Peter Pasta's mob status, reporting:

The Good Old Days? (And How The Gambinos Kicked Someone Out; That's Right, Out, Of The Family)

By Ed Scarpo
It's always the end of the world.... It always seems like today everything is going to hell in a handbasket.


Exhibit A: when was the following written?

"The old images seem like a caricature now: the shadowy world of secret rituals, the aging dons behind high-walled estates, the passion for vengeance and power over other men. For years, the Mafia was the stuff of novels and movies and whispers on Mulberry Street.... "

March 1987.

Anthony Salerno, Anthony Corallo and Carmine Persico -- the bosses of the Genovese, Lucchese, and Colombo families -- were convicted in Manhattan five months earlier...





Also in March 1987, the Pizza Connection Case ended with the former boss of Sicily's Mafia and 16 other men convicted in Manhattan of running an international ring that distributed tons of heroin, with a street value that Federal authorities estimated at $1.6 billion, using pizza parlors to disguise drug meetings and money-laundering.

John Gotti had a few more years as boss, …
