 The crew was controlled by capo Paul Vario from the early 1950s into the early 1980s, when Vario, Jimmy Burke, and a number of other associates were imprisoned, primarily due to the testimony of another long-term associate, Henry Hill.Hill's life in the Vario crew was the subject of Nicholas Pileggi's book "Wiseguy" and Martin Scorsese's crime film adapted from that book, "Goodfellas" (1990), starring Ray Liotta as Hill.Today the crew is still active, but less influential than before, and was most recently led by Domenico "Danny" Cutaia.
