Re: Mobbed-Up Businesses Detroit
Which businesses in the Metro Detroit area do you think still are Mobbed up with a lot of pull still? I’ll name a few off the top of my Head. Lucianos Aurelio’s. Mimmo D’anna spot Cafe Italia- D’anna and Corrado’s John Carlo Inc- which I believe is no longer a company Bagnasco funeral homes Antonio...

Re: Balistrieri Tapes
So this is absolutely a great thread. So much information about Milwaukee and Balistrieri. I realize this is just a series of articles but it really does back up the idea that Milwaukee was almost completely subservient to Chicago. Which isn't surprising. But still. And it also helps explain some of...

Reading a book about Benny Binion recently another serious criminal who ran the horseshoe from 51-2004.I read that Spilotro was warned not to go there With that list showing all the mobbed up joints owned by the families do we know if Binion was giving them a cut or was he that feared? If I remembe...

Yes. He and Vincent Filipelli were made in the same ceremony in 1993.

Re: If stanfa never made merlino
If Stanfa never made Merlino but everything else happened the way it did, I don't think much would have changed. By the close of the war, the Genovese family was backing Natale to take over as boss, and him not being made yet didn't really matter. It just required Merlino to hold a ceremony so he c...

Re: If stanfa never made merlino

I listen to anthony ruggiano a lot and he said his father was dear friends with joey. And from outside looking in you would think fat andy and joey merlino are c...

Re: If stanfa never made merlino
Well, its a little more complicated than that since Natale got made by Merlino when he got out. The Merlino guys would have found some old made guy from the Bruno days or from Scarfo's time that was out of prison and made him and his friends. They would have found a way.

Re: Full List of Nevada Casinos Controlled By Mob?
So I've been trying to do additional research, and I'm thinking about late 1970s casinos and what mob families/individuals would have interests still. So 1978 or so: Stardust, Fremont, Hacienda, Marina: This is Argent, so Chicago, Milwaukee, Kansas City and Cleveland Tropicana: Kansas City Aladdin: ...

Re: Chicago Outfit Boss Succession (1986-2010)
Can I just say that I have gone literally decades thinking Ferriola was the boss starting in 1986 until he died. So I really appreciate this thread. If that was wrong, kind of makes Roemer out to be more of an asshole for not knowing that after claiming he had an informant at the meeting where Ferri...

Hi everyone. Was reviewing what I had on the Kansas City Mafia after reading "Mafia Dreams" and it lead me back to earlier books. And I had a question on Angelo Porrello. What exactly was his status in the 1970s-1980s? In The Enforcer, Roemer lists him as a captain(not that I would ever b...
