THE BLACK HAND FORUM

I'm not positive. Angelo, Rick, and Eric may have better memories on this, but Papa John Priziola and Tony D'Anna may have been made in their teens (Detroit)

Vitale was married to one of the Matranga sisters

- Salvatore Vitale, former Detroit member described by Bompensiero as an underboss in a Sicilian family, likely Partinico, stayed in San Diego for periods and was extensively involved in drug trafficking with Detroit leaders. He was connected to John Priziola, who along with other Detroit leaders wa...

Scott saw documentation regarding a CI giving information to investigators about the Lagano hit. The CI, not Scott, claimed the Bloods, specifically the Nine Trey Gangsters carried out the hit. That seems interesting to me and worth reporting. Scott never said he agreed or disagreed with the CI's in...

Apparently in a recent Burnstein article he claims the nine trey gangsters did it. Idk what the article says exactly b/c I do not subscribe. I read it on reddit review of the article. Scott is not saying that. He reported that a CI told investigators it was a possibility. The Jersey crew has ties t...

It was an interesting episode, Jimmy. You and Scott (Burnstein) asked some very thoughtful questions of Peter, largely because you’ve both made the effort over many years to keep up with the organized-crime landscape up here that is in disarray.

Thank you, I appreciate that!
Best, JB

For those interested, we dropped episode with Peter Edwards a few weeks ago: https://youtu.be/b8eOTBUJzig He was having some connectivity issues so we had to record an audio call instead of video. So there was some production issues. I was able to hear him fine, but it is what it is. He's a good dud...

I am attempting to map out a family tree that details CDG-born Bonanno members (+ Magaddino) and their offspring. I've come up against a few dead-ends. Can anyone help identify paternal links for the following Bonanno members? - Joseph Sabella b. c1965 - Antonino Bonventre b.1930 (Father of Giacomo...

The Last Godfathers by John Follain is a fast read. It's about Corleone. "Boss of Bosses" by Claire Longrigg is a great book imo. It's about Provenzano.

Ok, I'll take the bait. I'm posting this for people on the forum who are undecided or inclined to give Scott benefit of doubt. Joey C could show up to a Scott haters' home and tell them this is all true, and they still wouldn't believe it because Scott reported it. But if you have an open mind, you ...

Guys, I gathered all the articles from the old senza memoria site in a PDF, unfortunately I just couldn't get the images and an article was missing, but 99% of the content is there. As a bonus I also included the book "Pane Pitittu e Mafia", about the Alcamo mafia. And there are also 3 mo...

Good idea Antiliar, hopefully we can promote more sharing of files, especially since they're all digital now and easy to upload. I wonder if it would be worth it to figure out how to create a library of all these files, sorted by family. Hosting a website might be a little much, but maybe on the In...
