Talk:DeCavalcante crime family

Untitled

Are we sure that Steve O'Lenehan was an associate of the deCavalcante crime family?????? I don't believe that. I bet you O'Lenehen himself put that in there. I thought the people he was trying to hang around were the Philly crew, and they wouldn't take him. My call? Wikipedia should list him as an associate of the Real Deal family.

I also think it would be useful to have a "Flipped/Ratted Out" listing, particularly for this family.

• Okay, somebody has pointed out to me that O'Lenehan knew Jack Panels - or CLAIMED to know Jack Panels (in the notorious Scott D interview), so I guess that does sorta barely qualify the guy for associate status with the deCavalcantes. But it is my personal belief that the guy was just a low-level knockaround guy that nobody would take on permanently as an associate, so he just bounced around from crew to crew and family to family (Philly/Scarfo crews and deCavalcante crews), trying to get work wherever he could, from whoever would take him at any given time. That's my call. Batman

Okay, this has been discussed on some of the chat boards. I think we are all agreed that Steve's status should be "associate of an associate". He wasn't a formal associate of any made guy - he was palling around with other associates, trying to get taken on. Thus "associate of an associate" seems to be the agreed upon status. Batman.

"The Sopranos" is based on this family. Where does the 80-100 made men and 1500 associates figure come from?The most optimistic mob insiders place the DeCavalcante crime family at 60 made men tops.And also,the DeCavalcantes are known to keep a low number of associates for everymember(1:1 ratio) so the 1500 associates figure is waaay off Mrblonde7 (talk) 21:19, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Unscholarly Content

The majority of offenses used to construct the image of the DeCavalcante "family" as part of a larger organised conspiracy to commit criminal acts are alleged, and cannot form the basis of scholarly facts. This "article," reads more like a true-crime, or yellow journalistic piece, and probably has no place in an encyclopaedic work. Turning this articles improper "facts" into more suitable, sourced "allegations" could probably remedy the problem. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.13.58.155 (talk) 18:24, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Simone Rizzo DeCavalcante Jr

Simone DeCavalcante Jr was born in 1962 and I grew up with him in N.J. He is a Capo with the DeCavalcante family. He and his wife recently purchased a home in Naples Florida. He still is running his crew in New Jersey and is supposed to be now running the operations in the gambling boats and loansharking in Florida and Louisiana and other ventures in New Orleans and Jefferson County. Simone R. DeCavalcante Jr. is a Capo in the DeCavalcante family. He was moved out of N.J. in 1969 by order of his father to N.C. He was moved out of N.J. because of the problems in the five families which ended up in the gang wars 1970. Sam the Plumber ordered that he be kept from coming back to N.J. So that he would be safe from any activity that could connect him to the family.He grew up in N.C. He goes by the name Bob. In 1983 he Married a woman from Fayetteville N.C. which he later divorced. He assisted in several of his fathers business ventures over the years. After Sam's death in 1997 he became a capo. He later moved to Naples Florida with his second wife. He is suspected according to one law enforcement officer who is involved in organized crime investigationsto be involved in gambling operations, loan sharking, and prostitution in Louisiana, Mississippi and Florida. He is also suspected in the murder of several individuals in Florida, New Orleans and Mississippi and is suspected of being a enforcer for the DeCavalcante family's ties with the Russian mafia along the east coast. and . He was recently in Newark meeting with several known associates in Newark, Keansburg, Union Beach, Trenton and of New York.—Preceding unsigned comment added by A member of the FBI.Also has been verified with a member of the ATF and a Chief of the Jefferson County La.

Edit request from 98.208.139.154, 7 July 2011

Why is it that the son of Simone DeCavalcante who is a active Capo who is in Florida is not listed? I am his Daughter and I do not understand why that it can not be added.

98.208.139.154 (talk) 14:02, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

It needs a reliable source. --Ted87 (talk) 19:24, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

Edit request on 23 November 2012

The first mention of Sam the Plumber, Sam Decalvacante, should be linked to this page. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_DeCavalcante Tristanape (talk) 18:08, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

Done It already was linked - in the previous section, but I did this, for section title consistency, and for clarity. There's a little bit of repetition, now, and an extra wikilink - if you can see how I could have done it better, please reply here. Begoon ^talk 01:01, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

FBI announces 10 New Jersey mafia arrests

FBI announces 10 New Jersey mafia arrests

The suspects include reputed captain 71-year-old Charles Stango, of Henderson, Nevada, and 72-year-old Frank Nigro, of Toms River, a reputed consigliere, or adviser. The criminal complaint alleges the DeCavalcante family operates under the direction of New York's Gambino crime family. The DeCavalcantes have long been thought to be the real-life inspiration for HBO's "Sopranos." http://www.courierpostonline.com/story/news/crime/2015/03/12/fbi-announces-new-jersey-mafia-arrests/70211880/ 68.47.165.51 (talk) 10:44, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 13 September 2015

I would like to make a request on the number of made men the DeCavalcante crime family has. It should be 80+. This reliable web article was made about 10 months ago, stating that the family has close to 80 made men. I believe they have inducted a few more since them, so I believe the appropriate number should be 80+. http://www.cosanostranews.com/2014/11/decavalcante-redux-nj-family-force-to.html Thank you.
