A fantastic run in this faction and thoroughly enjoyed it. When I first joined there were two associates and it can now boast a fifty man memberlist. 

 

That being said, I wish the faction the best going forward. It's been a great seven months.

 

Particular shout-outs to Nicholas Trisano, Gerald Marchetti, Dominic Altomare, Lawrence Zampa, Thomas Burns, Joseph Agresta, Benjamin Nicci, Michael Giuliano, David Pillini and Marco Caruso who helped make my time in the faction so enjoyable.

And a final two paragraphs to round up the story:

After the brutal daylight murder of Marco Caruso at the hands of the young Melrose Crew, chaos ensued in the Conti family. Campagna, once Capra's mentor and leader demanded compensation for the death of Caruso, who was falsely on record with the consiglierie. The amounted totaled to $200,000.00. He believed the duo were at fault as the Melrose Crew answered to the pair. Although against Cosa Nostra principles, Conti sanctioned the request at an upstairs meeting inside Clinton Avenue's Dirty Duke. During the sit-down, Capra was ableto negotiate the fee down to a measly $60,000.00 claiming that Caruso's murderers in fact answered to Conti solider, Henry D'Amico. Nonetheless, Capra and Trisano out of respect to mafia traditions, asked for the stubborn boss to change his verdict. Conti gifted Capra the compensation.  

 

However, on the eve of the 17th of July Clinton crew associate, James Donnelli, requested Capra to leave the Lucky Fish casino which was housing a high stakes poker game at the time. Trisano followed, both under the ruse that Donnelli had information regarding the upcoming indictments via his dirty cop. Trisano and Capra were set up and fatally shot, both their bodies were never found.  The Clinton Avenue crew spiraled out of control, those who had claimed their loyalty to captain Gerald Marchetti prior had shown their true colors after associate Benjamin Nicci and lower level crew members kidnapped and shot Marchetti loyalists in an act of vengeance. The federal forces quickly brought a stop to the potential war, arresting key figures such as Lawrence Zampa and Joseph Agresta, one of who had been conspiring to murder Marchetti. Clinton Avenue was in shambles with at least twenty associates either fleeing after the murders of Capra and Trisano or switching allegiances to the government. 

 

Luckily for the Conti administration, aware of the looming federal threat, the forever self interested John Tuna Capra had already asked his lawyer, Tito Mendez, to draft a leniency deal in return for his cooperation.
