THE BLACK HAND FORUM

I mean, i am not a tourist i live in the city and have spent plenty of bored days driving past active social clubs to see if anything is going on lol I probably would too if I lived in Chicago. Hell I already admitted to being guilty of this myself in Buffalo. :D I might check out Capri as a bucket...

Also have to remember Solly was locked up for 17 years, during which time the internet exploded. Imagine when he got out in '07 (a year that the internet was really starting to take off and smart phones first started getting widespread use) and you have to wonder how crazy this all probably was to h...

Scott says the patriarca family has someone new running Connecticut for them . I don’t have access to his site anyone know who this may be and how many active guys r left there ?? Eddie Parrett according to the article. Guess what restaurant he owns with the gambino associates busted in 2012? Hint ...

Had to post here cause it cracked me up and you guys will probably get a kick out of it.

Okay, this is pretty good! I laughed at the Steve Bartman line

I didn't get anything on this address off of Newspapers.com. Unless Tony and Rick did and they are just better searchers than me...

Marineo and Salerno. The Westside connection. i don't get it Marineo is south of Palermo and Salerno south of Naples, two places that produced many many members of the Genovese family aka the Westside. NE passed a list, at least internally, during the days of Ray Patriarca Sr. On the Patriarca tape...

I'm sure the capos and admin discussed prospective members but most members (based on what's available) didn't have a good idea about members in other crews. It seemed to be on a "need to know" basis. That’s something that definitely differentiates Chicago from the NY families because Cos...

Do Philly, DeCavs and NE have to pass round a list? Or the 5 don't give a f outside of NYC In 2010, Scoops Licata was on tape talking about how he still passed the names of guys he proposed to the Gambino and Genovese families but not to the others. DeCavalcante and to a lesser extent, Philly and N...

What do they mean by “ Assuming Scarpa's report is accurate and Mazzola's killing was the unsanctioned result of a petty dispute, this appears to have enabled the Genovese Family to prove no involvement on their part and allow his replacement.” It's against the rules to use dead members on inductio...

Maybe he's popular in the sense that he picks up dry cleaning and dumps out ashtrays at the social clubs

I understand where you are coming from, but I would be very surprised if they had not made anyone in the past 20 years. We have never gotten truly accurate membership lists from Chicago (understandable, considering only one member has testified) so not knowing members shouldn't be an indictment agai...

Paloian owned the URL for DelGiudice's website. Paloian also paid money into Sarno's commissary account. I think you'd have to be pretty naive not to see a connection there. Nobody here is saying this is the 1956 Outfit or even that they are at the level of any of the NYC families Due to the contrib...

I don’t put a ton of stock in the FS 2 thing, feels just like the usual outfit post family secrets throw in line. I think Chicago crime reporters are going to be using it for another 20 years. Beat me to it. It's a media cliche and I've never seen anything concrete to back it up. Have any feds actu...
