If he was one of those, he'd have been given a credit card, a cell phone and a hotel suite in Midtown, courtesy of the mayor.

More about that bust and the ties to Mexican cartels and Montréal LCN. https://www.borderlandbeat.com/2024/02/fbi-takes-down-drug-trafficking-network.html Is this actually a mafia thing? Serious question... Did you read it? It almost entirely involves the Montréal mafia. So serious question, did yo...

rats on paper, calling merlino a rat for speaking on things that are in court documents that is public knowledge? lmao wtf

Don't disagree with you. That's their accusation.

Cicale interviewed Gene Borello today. They are equating Merlino to a rat now for opening up and speaking on youtube.

Cicale's problem is he seems to be too trusting of the online podcasters with their drama and he speaks a little too quick. He wants the controversial ratings that come with it. So, he reaps what he sows.

Sicily doesn’t have cash flow problems. Far from it. Just take a look at the latest seizures. And they are being funded with cartel money. No cartel bankrolls Cosa Nostra...lol I don't know what the hell yall be talking about sometimes..... Are you saying ndrangheta and cosa nostra put their money ...

Ciao Steve and hi everyone! Happy to be here! The key thing is always location location location- where is this tripodi from? The Tripodi family was 'ndrangheta of the first time - between 1950s-1970s were in a feud with the Piromalli in Gioia Tauro and lost, and now they are pretty much absorbed i...

I think they (LCN) could be suing him.

There strongest periods were definitely under Tom Gagliano and Tommy Lucchese. I find it very interesting that the Lukes were the forerunners in the construction business going back to the late 20's and it kinda gets brushed over in the historical narrative. Because I think they have been a relativ...

Tommy luchese was carlos Gambino protection when he killed Albert. Then there kids married. I think he was more powerful then Carlo till he died The relative power between the organizations they led is another matter. Massino was seen as the top boss on the street at one point. But besides being du...

So did Massino establish the Bronx faction of the Bonanno family or was that already in existence?

Closest thing I'd wager to there being a FL crew would be Thomas Farese's operation.

Yeah, I think the "sides" of this war is constantly changing. I don't think it's a single war, either. Before Vito Rizzuto went away, the Montreal Mafia was very much still grouped in the Bonanno regime that they were created as initially. But, obviously things changed and it really is a c...
