I could've sworn I read that he had died but I just Googled and couldn't find any obituary or news article about his death.

Recent examples from the Colombo family include the attempted extortion from the Amato crew of the Bosco family gambling operation, Maybe I'm remembering this wrong, but I don't recall they were extorting them. I believe the situation was that one of Amato Jr's friends placed a losing bet with them...

Independent bookmakers/loansharks/card games, particularly of Italian-American descent, will be extorted by the Mafia if they come into the Mafia's orbit. This is why it is crucial for independent criminals to find a suitable Mafia representative to be "on record" with - typically, this in...

I had the dumb luck of being seated on the table next to a 100yr-old Sonny Franzese at Bamonte's in 2019. He was with his nephew and convicted loanshark John Capolino, who I don't believe he was allowed to be meeting due to his probation conditions. Great spot in Williamsburg with delicious food - b...

Was thinking about starting a topic but I'll pose my question here: What are the rules and etiquette during a sit-down. As many as anyone can think of. One that comes to mind is, a member not being able to state that another member is lying. I don’t think that you can show up armed Formal introduct...

Awesome photos and awesome articles. I wonder if Mancuso has any business with Ricciardo or if it's purely out of respect.

Have to belive a Capo gave up more than just this bull$$$t racket. In with the admin. Would've had a crew, knew their games, associates etc etc. Would DOUBT he's a one trick pony Does he have enough information worth prosecuting over? I'm sure he's pointing the feds in the right direction but I don...

I was under the impression it was Gambino. Colombo drawing too much heat with the IAA. Ignoring the commission. Good to know. FWIW Capeci says that Jerome Johnson was a lone nut. I harvested this from his book on Google Books: Great post. Interesting. Appears to make the most sense. It states Gallo...

Was it ever 'settled' that it was Gallo or Gambino (commission or alone?) Who clipped Colombo? I always understood that Jerome Johnson met one (or more) of the Gallo Bros. in prison, and they set him up to do the hit. Although Johnson was also linked to a club called Christopher's End, at 180 Chris...

Nice find Furio.

Tommy shots is free. That's a wow. Wonder of he's in decent health to actually walk around. Also Matin tacetta gets out in 2027 if he makes it interesting he did alot of time even though he got released for like 2 years and went right back to the life May 5th he gets out according to inmate locater...
