THE BLACK HAND FORUM

So Vena no longer holds court at Richard's, do I have that right? Yesterday I asked my Chicago homie Pericles Abbasi if he'd ever been to Richard's (he has). I doubt it unless it's during the day or week. It's a very small place and i would be surprised he'd be doing business amongst a bunch of 30 ...

I’m not in the know as to current guys in that area in any way myself. I go back to visit family but have lived in NYC for a long time now. People tell me that they see guys that look the part at Imperial’s, Vinnie’s, Salerno’s, etc. — and that they see people occasionally in the old HSAC as well —...

I used to walk past Richards every day on my commute to work. I've tied one on with Bobby numerous times and he's always been a super nice guy. I've never mentioned the mob or anything like that, but he's bought me countless drinks over the years and always been super friendly. I worked in politics...

Snakes I didn't even know this stabbing had happened, thanks for the info. Reading about it now. When that shit went down, unsurprisingly, all the stories said the employees and owners weren't cooperating with authorities. Obiviously it wasn't outfit related, but guess the we "dont talk" ...

I haven't been in awhile, but I used to go occasionally. I did see Bobby Dominic out front a few months ago so he's still around. I wouldn't say it became a hipster bar, but the novelty of it being known as a mob joint and the smoking inside definitely made it popular with people looking to have a g...

Used to the Bridgeport social clubs where if you even stop by and tie your shoe someone’s coming out and telling you to move along. You have to wonder if there are any dopey mob fanboy tourists who actually go to where those clubs are, snoop around in the area, and get chased by the guys in the clu...

Yeah, fair point.

It's just funny that the Chicago mob boss is posting on Facebook pages specifically about the Chicago underworld. It's funny to picture him browsing this shit.

Totally. Brave new world.

Also, Sam looks sauced.

He looks like he has a drug problem.

Even though my mother was 100 percent Bridgeport lol

Hilarious they pulled you over tony.


Had to post here cause it cracked me up and you guys will probably get a kick out of it.

Anyone live out in Elmwood Park area? Was out there helping a cousin move into an apartment. He grew up out there and I grew up in the city. He’s about 10 years younger than me so we weren’t particularly close. I hadn’t been out that way in about 5 years. Jesus I counted no fewer than 5 social club...

There also a podcast about the Chicago board of trade corruption called BROKERS, BAGMEN, & MOLES. It mentions organized crime ties Is this the one with the guy who worked with Tony Borse's kid? I think he might even have been on it? I mentioned before, there is a pretty critically acclaimed pod...

Thought so, chart style looks familiar.
