		Genovese was assisted by Anastasia underling Carlo Gambino, who seized control of the Anastasia crime family, but then maneuvered against Genovese.
		Slowly, the Genovese family lost its muscle, and the shrewd Gambino, up till then head of a relatively small crime group, gained in power and prestige until he had the foremost organization in the country - far mightier than the outfit he had forcibly inherited from Anastasia.
		In 1987 with Salerno under a 100-year sentence the active leadership of the family passed to Vinnie "the Chin" Gigante, who became famed for his ploy of walking the street in a bathrobe and mumbling to himself in an effort to appear mentally defective and unable to face prosecution.

	Genovese crime family - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The story of the Genovese family is believed to originate in the 1890s, with the arrival from Sicily of Ignazio "Lupo the Wolf" Saietta, whose Black Hand gang allied with fellow Sicilian immigrants, the Morello Family, to form a crime family in East Harlem and Little Italy, Manhatten.
		Genovese ostensibly became a loyal Costello supporter and by extension a supporter of the still-exiled Luciano, now only a Capo, Genovese felt that Frank Costello had only looked after his and Luciano's interests, leading the Family into white collar crimes and neglecting the blue collar crews that Genovese was popular with.
		Boss, Vincent Gigante ran the affairs of the Genovese Family or the West Side as the Family was known in the New York underworld, from the Triangle social Club on Sullivan St., between West 3rd and Bleeker Streets.

	Feds Crack Down on Genovese Crime Family
		The Genoveses have traditionally been a hard nut to crack, and this investigation was the most substantial infiltration since the feds succeeded in turning Peter Savino, who worked undercover a decade ago to record conversations that eventually led to the 1997 conviction of Vincent "Chin" Gigante, the family's boss.
		Court documents provided little information about the informant, who "taped literally thousands of hours of conversation." Prosecutors said only that he was a Genovese associate who was so "highly-placed" within the family that he had gained their trust to the point where they freely discussed their crimes in his presence.
		The Genovese family allegedly employed a retired police detective to extort annual payments of $25,000 a year from a deli supplier.

		Following Maranzano's death, the New York Castellamarese family elected a new boss, 26-year-old Joseph Bonanno, who became the youngest boss of the "Five Families" that formed the national crime syndicate.
		Rastelli expanded the family operations and formed a network of front businesses that trafficked narcotics, called the "Pizza Connection." During his tenure, however, the family was infiltrated by undercover FBI agent Joe Pistone, or "Donnie Brasco," whose eventual testimony led to the conviction of over 120 Bonanno Family members.
