The Simone (Sam the Plumber) DeCavalcante Family, or what’s left of it, is in tatters and on the brink of extinction. It is a virtual shell of its former self.
Using the most current information available from various law enforcement and other reliable government sources on the underworld. Button Guys has comprised what we believe to be the most current and accurate picture available about the reputed membership roster of New Jersey’s only homegrown Cosa Nostra clan heading into 2024.
Selecting the year 2020 as a starting point, up to the present day, we tracked all members thought to still be currently active as well as those older members who have since retired or passed away in recent years.
Due to their current state of upheaval and the lack of a vibrant underworld economy still available to the membership, there is still some conjecture as to who is serving within the administration as the boss, underboss, consigliere and capo regimes.
Also, a few of those listed are speculative as to whether those particular individuals are actually formally inducted “made” members, per se, or remain as crew “associates.” But the chart we created below does represent the very latest information available. So, for that reason, we have specifically labeled one section as soldiers and associates/proposed recruits.
Often Imitated. Never Duplicated. Button Guys of The New York Mafia...There's Only One!
