The charges were dropped when District Attorney Pat Brown dismissed the jury and called a mistrial due to a lack of confidence in key witness, Anita Venza.

[6] Lanza was well connected in Las Vegas via his friend William "Bones" Remmer, a Jewish associate with ties to the Genovese crime family of New York.

In 1977, when Fratianno heard he had a hit on him, one of the charges was that he was bringing too much attention to the existence of the San Francisco crime family.

Lanza was believed to have given permission for the murder of former New England crime family associate turned government witness Joseph Barboza in 1976.

[7] By 1990, there were only a few made men left in the San Francisco mob, one was Sergio Maranghi, who was involved in cocaine and heroin trafficking.

He first began working as an employee of Starfish Co., a small fish processing company, which did a lot of business with Alioto's Restaurant.

Maranghi was spotted many times meeting with Lanza and other San Francisco mob figures at the Anchor Bay Cafe until it closed down in 1983.

Maranghi decided to become an FBI informant instead of serving a long prison sentence and told federal agents of cocaine transactions he had had with his associates over a period of several years.

In 1994, the San Francisco Police raided the Portofino and arrested Balistreri again, this time for running an illegal gambling operation with video poker machines.

Another made member still living at the time was Steve Trifiro, who ran a small gambling operation near Sacramento, California.

[7] The last living made member of the San Francisco Crime Family, Sergio Maranghi, died on October 23, 2022.
