## Resource

Recently there have been various mobsters released from federal prison. Most of these individuals have deep connections to past and current members of the Bonanno Crime. In this video, we delve into some of the recent releases and why this could make certain families more formidable as we head into 2026 and beyond. Mobsters discussed in this video include Joey Massino, Vincent Basciano, Ronnie Giallanzo, Gene Borello, Vito Guzzo, Anthony "Ace" Aiello and Dominick Cicale. In the first 10 or so minutes I also discussed recent news on drug trafficker Frank Matthews.
