Bronx do you happen to have any ideas on who might've been the candidate(s) to take over the old Traina crew from Oxie Marino? And if it was folded into another crew who's mightve been absorbing it?

Lookingn forward to this!

A great rundown of the Olympio Garofalo crew courtesy of B.

Agree its a fascinating article.

Does anyone have any idea who might the current captain of the Traina/Oxie Marino crew might be?

I went to the Heights last year and drove around. Never been before (given where I’m from, anything below Pershing Rd might as well be Kankakee to me lol). Drive around Hungry Hill, went to San Rocco Parish etc. Wasn’t aware that there was still a social club there. Apart from San Rocco, one would ...

lmaooo

Without more clarification on the details it could be that those ties were either established while Patty Red was with the Long Island crew (and thus via that crew?), and/or much more recently than the late 90s that Tony was referring to here. We also don't know whether the administration would have...

Regarding Fratto insulating himself from stuff, one would certainly expect so if he is still somebody. I’ll cite again the former Lucchese associate that I spoke with, the one who worked in Chicago in the late 90s/2000s. He said that made guys in Chicago are “like ghosts, they won’t talk to or deal...

Im like a herion addict. I hate doing this but cant help myself. Burnstein on the Outfit. Mike Sarno made 2 dozen guys between 05-10. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kC2vWIaQs4 Its ok, I hate me too. This was rumored years before Burnstein said anything about it Do we have names? Collaboration? Th...

Will be clicking refresh at work tmr.

Bumping this in case anyone else had any to add.

If Matassa remains an important man, him, Vena and Andriacchi make three guys who are at least rumored to have northside/rush st ties. Seeing that Andriacchi didn't get along with Marco D'Amico, I wonder if its possible that Andriacchi put/keeps Matassa (and maybe even Vena) in their potentially hig...

Wow, it appears that I stand corrected then. So then we no longer know of the Outfit and Genovese having any direct "lines of communication". I thought the same of course, as it has been claimed for so long that it just became a “fact” without any evidence beyond “some guy said so”, as is...

Interesting I recently heard John Pudgy Matassa is far from being inactive and secretly controls a popular restaurant (which I will not name but is in grand and Ogden area) and is behind one of the biggest bookmaking operations in Chicago. Unsure of where he falls in on the Outfit chart but he is d...
