THE BLACK HAND FORUM

Haha Costa...that's the way to stand on business.

I tend to give greater weight on subjects such as these to the feelings prevailing at the time on the street as opposed our view 20-30 years later. What I mean by that is the prevailing thought on the street was that Stanfa was involved. He was around Sindone, he bartended at Sindone's bar and likel...

That's not exactly what Leonetti says in his book. He says that Stanfa WAS involved with Caponigro and Sindone when they hit Ange. The evidence definitely suggests he was. Sindone went to the hospital the day after Bruno was killed and spoke with Stanfa in Italian. Stanfa was spotted in New York wit...

money grab and defense tactic

Couple thoughts about todays article, prison is supposed to be about rehabilitation. Our law speaks of rehabilitation. Our literature speaks of reflection and rehabilitation. However, our culture treats prison like its a mental institution from the 1800's where people are shut away and never spoke o...

I will bet that will be an argument at sentencing, that the VOSP will be consecutive or concurrent to the new sentence. I'd guess that he will make it concurrent and give Teddy another 3 years of supervised release.

I'm guessing the Feds didn't include him because he may have garnered sympathy from the jury. That and they didn't want the BOP to have care for him. Both Bellochi and Veasey fingered him as an ongoing participant in the conspiracy.

He's lucky he isn't doing life with John Stanfa and Frank Martines.

Agreed, I heard a long interview he did on a car ride. Thought "how easy it is to fix games". Two buckets in a row, call a ticky tack foul. Always kill the momentum. You can't tell me this doesn't happen in football either.

Nobody is asking Joey to step aside. I'd bet my bottom dollar he still ultimately calls the shots. Guys around Joey are like moths to a flame. I'm sure the envelopes are still coming. Day to day is handled by others but nobody is blowing Joey off because he has a podcast.

He's also listed as a member in the 1980 Penn Crime Commission report and they include a small biography. I think Garden State Gangland may be wrong on the jewish part...

He got locked up the first week of January in 1987 and was in custody ever sine. He was coming off a plane from Florida. He then fought four consecutive trials. I'm guessing he wasn't aware that he needed to do so until Jr. got shot in 1989.

Tony Caponigro was direct with Angelo Bruno.

Dinorscio is most likely one of Caponigro's guys made in the 1963 wedding. He had to be made in the early 60's because he went to prison in 69 and we know he was acting capo for John Simone by the early/mid-70's when Simone started spending most of his time in Florida. Around the same time Caponigro...

Yeah, nice work this week. Allie Shades shooting his shot with Liz Hurley...Durso having to get raped over and over by woman...good work.
