Him and about 10 members got arrested and the Decavalcante captain Charles Stengo got a conspiracy charge to commit murder along with his son. They were hiring someone from a biker gang to do it. They got him talking on the phone to to cops who infiltrated him..

Somehow I think New York would have something to say about that. Like every other mob family in America they in fact appear too be declining and until I am shown more concrete evidence I will continue to believe there are at most 30 members with perhaps two capo's operating. There has been no extra evidence to show that they have been expanding. That's all we can go on pal.

And I can read perfectly well thanks , who's the impeccable source that Ed has as no offence to him but it wouldn't be the first time he has been wrong and "revised" an article. Basically what you are saying is that Ed's info is flawless which history proves it is not. But even an amateur investigator on the mafia would know that its highly unlikely that the DeCavalcante's have around 80 members. For what reason would they be prospering when every other family is declining? They have to compete with the most powerful mafia family's in America on their own turf! I didn't see any evidence being provided to back up the story and its not the first time that has happened over here on Cosa Nostra News. Ed's a great guy and I like most of his work but that's also just my opinion on this particular story.

It's how many years since Vinny Ocean? If I'm trying to get the FBI to respond to the info I have, where can you deduce I got it from. Who is my source? I'm the only one who knows other than of course the source. How many thought I was wrong about Christy Tick? Punchy Illiano? Joe Colombo Jr.? I've written a few stories before Capeci, before the Post. I'm a professional journalist. Maybe I'm not a mob scholar. I don't claim to know the names of every mobster in America. I do know how to quantify a source and do research to see if the context supports information or not. You have to have BALLS to break news. I'm writing the story. If history tells us anything it's that the mob resurges whenever the feds take their eye off it. As for Colombos, they were close to being shelved, the whole family was gonna be gone. That's been reported.

Now I don't know if they are as big as Ed says they are but I do know that there is absolutely no recent information out there that says they aren't. You would have to have an inside source to know something like this. Dom being that your in England it seems to me like you must rely on FBI documents and indictments of which there are none on this family that aren't over a decade old. Apparently you are up to date as of the Vinny Ocean case. Dom you named Joe Merlo a captain and Louie Eggs which is info that Scott Burnstein released a couple days ago. Since you speak to guys in the know why don't you name that mysterious third capo.

That is all. There is nothing wrong with that, I am fascinated with the stories as well so I do the same thing. But STOP trying to pass your opinions off as FACT, they are not. They are your opinions, and everyone is entitled to one. That is the only reason I came at you. You do have a lot of knowledge (from what you have read) and I am not discrediting that. You have no inside knowledge, so stop trying to discredit someone when they say they have a source on the street who told them something. The story may end up being false, or it may be true and maybe they did grow drastically in the last decade. I don't know the answer, but neither do you. Let's wait and let it play out.

My point was HE HAS NO INSIDE INFORMATION being from England. Just because you read some FBI files and newspaper reports, your are not an expert nor are you in the position to try to discredit a writer and his article who says that he has an inside source who is "impeccable". I don't think Ed would have posted the article if he didn't believe in the story. I read FBI files and newspaper reports too, but I don't consider myself an expert or attack everyone who has a different opinion than me. Just got tired of this guy thinking he has all of the answers and that everything he posts is 100% fact. He reads Capeci and Burnstein and thinks he is a mafia insider now.teflonnoreply@blogger.com
