THE BLACK HAND FORUM

I'm not sure how much the 'iron grip' was actually true in Chicago - look at the Chop Shop Wars for example - those were different crews fighting it out during a time when the Outfit was quite strong. I think you see this with the mob no matter the city - a group of aggressive 'young turk' types fig...

Is John the son of Black Joe Amato? I was reading an older article about DeLaurentis pushing Amato's crew out of Lake County - would be interesting if he was close to the son all these years later. I'd have to check on Amato's kids. I think it was initially assumed that Amato was pushed out of Lake...

Someone needs to add that YouTube clip of Dennis Hopper explaining Sicilian DNA. These are not Germans or Swedes we are talking about - these are Mediterranean people. If someone saw old photos of Chick Ciancaglini and didn't know who he was, you would assume he was a black gangster.

Not sure that anyone would really have a view that any mob family is 'thriving' in this day and age or growing (obviously all are in decline) - but its interesting to see these old school cases still playing out in 2024 in cities where the mob has been declared 'dead' for decades. That guys born in ...

The footage playing during the Inendino call is actually from New York Thanks for the correction Snakes. Out of curiosity, how influential was this Gerry Denono in this documentary within the Outfit? It was interesting the Milwaukee Phil story he tells but I've also read that story on this forum an...

Yes.

Was Dominic Crea a 'Tanglewood Boy' or was that Steve Jr. only? Just curious as I read a lot about them.

Is this really Steve Crea's son on his latest episode?

I have no idea if its Chicago or NYC guys in the videos - I am in a FB group where this guy said the footage shows Aleman outside the 'Survivors Club.' He's in the plaid jacket (looks like him to me). Ironically Anthony Inendino (who I believe is a son to Jimmy I) posted that its a fake AI generated...

The full, uncensored, unedited version of the legendary "phone call from hell" from Jimmy Inendino is no longer on YouTube it looks like. (There are videos that feature it but chopped up and with commentary etc.). This is a huge loss for our culture. Do any of you guys have the full recor...

Polack how about I put you in touch with Andy and you can educate him on his family history? You clearly have the FBI files on his grandfather - he's been after those for years, so he's going to be thrilled to see all of this additional information you've found on the internet about his 'actual' fam...

ath, immigration and other vital records are all fake news. Oh also, But we should believe what some guy pretending to be a guy from “Buffalo” says some guy told him, instead. Yeah, I’ll opt to continue “doing me”, buddy. That is only one of his multiple identities on here. Just recently he posted ...

No offense, but I've shared quite a few good links here in the last few days - Polack you act kind of like an ass. I don't really need to be told I'm right or wrong or to debate it - I've talked to Andy and don't really think he's full of shit. The reason I found that clip was because he shared it w...

Ha well it was new and interesting to us laborers! Amazing how they protected Jackie Presser through that entire saga. Even the government seemed to handle him with kid gloves. Why he would not be under a subpoena to testify - like his mafia handlers were - is beyond me.

Frank 'Babe' DeMonte who I met once in the late 1980s. Business Agent for Local 1. I was told the grandfather 'Tony Mack' was very close to Milwaukee's crime family. Does anyone know if Tony Mack at one point was the boss of Chicago's North Side or was he more of a 'soldier?' Not the boss -- it was...
