Wanna Join The Mob? First Take Your Clothes Off says Bingy Arillotta,

Getting naked as an initiation ritual for fraternities we knew about—but getting naked as an initiation ritual for the mafia? Better than "wildings" on Easter, we guess. Gangland sub. required] reports that recent court testimony has confirmed that the Genovese crime family started stripping their inductees back in 1989 after the feds had secretly taped one of the family's inductions.

The story comes from the testimony of Anthony “Bingy” Arillotta, 42, who told jurors in Massachusetts he'd stripped down to his underoos for The Family one morning in August, 2003, after meeting at the Nebraska Steakhouse in the Bronx:

Mob-busting ex-FBI agent Lindley DeVecchio rips Brooklyn DA Charles Hynes' office in new book

Mob-busting former FBI agent Lindley DeVecchio beat a murder rap in 2007 – and now he’s settling a few scores in a new book.

DeVecchio, who was accused of advising Colombo crime family mob informer Greg Scarpa to whack four turncoats, says the Brooklyn district attorney’s office was bamboozled by convicts who hoped DeVecchio’s downfall would help their appeals.

Feds; mafia no longer top priority

John Marzulli,daily news. The FBI'S New York bureau has downsized its organized-crime squads just two months after its massive gangster takedown.

There had been a separate squad of agents assigned to probe each of the city's five families.

A reorganization of the mob section, first reported by the website Gangland News, has led to a merger of the Bonanno and Colombo squads - and the Luchese squad teaming up with a unit investigating Eastern European crime crews.

In all, the number of FBI agents dedicated to busting organized crime dropped to 45.

The formidable Genovese and Gambino crime families still merit their own FBI squads, sources said.

"We're continuously re-evaluating how to assign resources, and the recent changes are designed to prevent inroads made by emerging crime groups," said FBI spokesman James Margolin.

Still, former organized crime-busters fear the changes will lead to a resurgence of the Mafia, noting that the Bonanno family rose from ashes a generation ago after it was decimated by undercover FBI agent Joseph Pistone.
