John Strattonato

John Strattonato is an American gangster and former boss of the Ferrone crime family. He took the position in 2012, following the death of Carmine Ferrone, Jr., and lost it in 2021 following his attempted assassination that left him paralyzed.
Strattonato was involved with the Ferrone Crime Family since the late-1970s, and was supposedly in charge of a lot of the Ferrone's drug crimes. He was also one of the men who vouched for Frank Cabrese to be brought into the family. John Strattonato's underboss was lifelong friend Frank Tacito.
John Strattonato currently lives in North Caldwell, New Jersey.
On November 1, 2021 it was revealed by an FBI leak that Vincent-Dante Ragusa of the Torelli crime family's Shoreside Crew faction was responsible for orchestrating the failed hit on John. As to why is unclear. It was confirmed when the Ferrone crime family attacked and paralyzed Pennsylvania faction leader Walt Sanna, who was replaced by John de Luca. According to some sources, Frank Cabrese and Salvatore Molinari carried out the attack. Sanna later died in the hospital on November 4.

On October 10, 2021 John Strattonato was shot twice in the head by DaShawn Burgess, a known associate of the Torelli crime family, and is currently in the hospital. He was attending a rally for the Italian American Cultural Association, orchestrated by James DeFranco.
