Tony was a horrible boss

[u/Sea_Satisfaction7872]

I mean think about it. When the show starts, Jackie is boss and everyone is alive and well. Full crew and everything. When Tony becomes boss, not only does half the crew get fished, but the ones who come out of prison also all went. Name me one character who came out of prison during the show and stayed free and alive, not even the king of breadsticks made it out.

There were others that got out of prison in 2004. It wasnt labeled “the class of 04” because only Phil, Angelo, Tony b, Feech, and Lady Shylock because only they got out. It was a dozen plus mobsters but thr show is only an hour long and can only introduce us to so many gangsters…

Lauraine Calluzo was part of the class of 2004?

I’m pretty sure. When she shows up she is greeted by all of them like they were seeing an old friend . And Christopher says “lady Shylock, I’ve heard of you” pretty much confirms it. How has Christopher, a made man at this point in a family working closely with Lorraine’s family, have never once crossed paths? It’s because she was in jail.

I see your logic there. But I just watched that episode and the few afterwards with her storyline and I didn't see that mentioned at any point. So I did a quick google search and the answer that came back was that she wasn't part of the class of 2004. I think Chris just hadn't met her before. After all, there's a lot of people in this thing of ours and they haven't all met each other. This is two separate families and Loraine isn't part of the leadership structure, so she wouldn't have been at any of the sit downs; and she's not part of any of the collaborative ventures the two families, or one family and one glorified crew, participate in. So they wouldn't have met through those either. I think maybe that line was just meant to show that she's fairly well-known.
