They have been definitely be quite lately....except for the zip faction recently.but the older guys have been out of the limelight.who knows what a going on Majority of those guys have been doing ex...

I’m sure a few people said this throughout the thread but for a life that is “dead” and has no future, a lot of guys are living nice. Especially how fucking expensive NY is The demise has been greatly exaggerated Even when you go back to like the 80s most guys are living in pretty simple townhouses...

I feel yeah but I believe the drop given the employment data. Those 2 data points are forever linked. Same data tells the reason for the spike in 20-22 just in reverse.

It seems like this is the way LE is going after big crews.
They can’t get them on any serious charges so bring cases like this to squeeze them financially.

A friend of mine who lives down in jersey,told me that the DeCavs have five crews, many gambling houses and massage parlours with latinas from the shore up to hudson and essex counties and that there are many sons of the old generation and wannabes involved. (I don’t know if it’s bullshit) The Newa...

It looks the like port crew made was a key player on the NJ Gold Coast real estate boom. Looks like Edgewater is a corrupt town and it’s su...

That was the cousin Meagle beat as Barney was in prison , still a ballsy move but the genius is too smart to beat Barney Della Cava is very interesting, I didn’t know he was a big drug dealer and it’s impressive he parlayed drugs into building sky scrapers in Manhattan. That 116 crew is something el...
