Re: New Orleans Family

Thanks. No, that's all new to me. I'll ask someone who may know something this weekend. Interesting though. Just before La Stella too.

Re: New Orleans Family

Ledblimp this is a little bit off topic but have you ever came across any document regarding Marcellos and Giancanas one time conflict or dissagrement over something? Right now I cant find it since im not at home. The two families were very closely connected in the gambling and vending machine busi...

Re: Timeline: Decline of families

This is an example of an FBI document where they identified made members using confidential sources. These are not 100% accurate, but they are generally reliable: http://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=128058&relPageId=28&search=%22nitti,_frank%22 Antiliar, if simply being mentioned ...

Re: New Orleans Family

Antonino "Nino" LoScalzo Born October 5 1943, died November 14 1975. Info I have is that Marcello brought him over as a Zip though he had ties to the LoScalzo's in Tampa and was Made under Marcello. Not sure as to the circumstances of his early death or where he died but he's buried in Ta...

Re: New Orleans Family

Well, I guess no one should have a reason to trust my word but the fact is I never read the article and didn't copy it. Reading over the parts of his article that are used in the Dash blog, and to the best of my recollection, besides one alias and a couple of dates, I used one line about a prison se...

Re: New Orleans Family

So the picture you accused me of stealing, the one that OBVIOUSLY came from YOUR article is actually available on another website. And you expect that no one will ever use it? What other sites have permission? That's on par with those chicks that let their boyfriends take pics while banging them. &q...

Re: New Orleans Family

You don't seem to understand. I didn't plagiarize your article. Never read it. Using a couple of names and dates from that blog and describing the general events isn't plagiarizing anything. I dunno if you think you have ownership of historical events or you're just mad because someone else took an ...

Re: New Orleans Family

To be fair, David Critchley discovered Di Giorgio around the same time I did. But I didn't accuse you of copying word-for-word, ledblimp. In fact I wrote the opposite, that you used my material and that it looks like plagiarism. The difference between Mike Dash's article and yours is that Dash was ...

Re: New Orleans Family

Some info I did pull from that Dash blog. Mainly details about Monfre's killing by Esther I believe. Maybe about Pietro Pipitone as well but can't say for sure. Nothing I used is written word for word and I'm not sure how you can accuse me of copying your work by using the names and dates of histori...

Re: New Orleans Family

Lol, if that's the info that's available ONLY in your article you had better look around. All of that info is available online (just as that pic is), though you have'ta dig for it, and in other books. Haven't read First Family and I believe The Axman book was just recently released so not sure what ...

Re: Timeline: Decline of families

It's not "simply being mentioned in those files is proof," it's a specific section where the agents tried to identify members. Jimmy Hoffa is mentioned in many FBI files, but his mere mention is not take to infer that he was made. I also wouldn't call it proof, but evidence. So if the nam...
