THE BLACK HAND FORUM

These guys are all supposed to be Chicago mobsters but I only recognized a small minority of them. At the beginning he says he has info for these guys and I was going to try to contact him about it but on his social media he says please don't contact him about mob research matters. Weird. Anyway, leaving this here:

Are these people legit mobsters other than the famous ones who pop up occasionally? They just look like random criminals other than the occasional outfit guy seen here and there.

So the distinct crew territories are actually geographically delineated like that, with boundaries and everything? I thought it was way more nebulous than that these days.

Just that his name was cited as involved by one of the defendants. While it’s possible that it’s not the same Rocco D’Ambrosio, there doesn’t seem to be a candidate for another Rocco D’Amnrosio, at least not that I could find. It would also make sense that a guy who was married to a PR woman might have had ties to some PR guys.

Rocco D’Ambrosio was also the kid of William “Rocky” D’Ambrosio, a relative of Joe Amabile who was convicted on murder charges in the early ‘50s and then went out to Scottsdale after his release. William D’Ambrosio’s mother, Grazia Amabile, was the older sister of Joe Amabile. William D’Ambrosio was convicted on fraud in conspiracy charges in 1981 in AZ, related to some real estate interests and a bar that he was involved in there; he died in 1988.

Who is Jerry DeMarco Polack do you know that name or his restaurant? I'm told he's an immigrant from Italy - this has to be him right? I know the Cafe Cappucino (which appears to be his first venture) was a major facet of the Stier Malone Anderson Report years ago as they were surveilling the Grand Avenue location as top guys were meeting with union officials - names like Cozzo, Belli, etc.

Also thanks for the background. I think one of my favorite parts of this forum is finding how modern day Chicago guys always have a familial connection to the Outfit going back a generation or two. The Joe Shine connection is quite interesting. The guys who seem to 'earn' or control large money making enterprises seem to have been groomed early on and stay in the shadows - always the son or nephew of someone - meanwhile, the white gang banger types from Cicero seem to make the headlines for the petty rough stuff.

Jerry Demarco is the owner of Demarco’s restaurant on Lake St in Itasca. The same shopping center that Cassano had the social club and also the same shopping center where Cassano and D’Amico had that “modeling” place which was basically a whore house

I just looked on Google Maps - yikes that 'spa' in the corner of the complex? That looks about as shady as you can get - its amazing the police allow these places to exist. I was told Anthony Demarco worked at that restaurant for years - I wonder if he is working for Cassano or kicking up to the same territorial boss.

It sounds like they are in different crews but who knows. Demarco Grand Ave and Cassano Elmwood Park. These days it’s hard to distinguish because everyone works together or has business ventures together

Out of curiosity what makes Demarco 'Grand Ave' crew? His location?
