THE BLACK HAND FORUM

[quote="Wiseguy"]Good find, JCB.[/quote]

Thanks buddy. I don't know how I missed it as I read the PPG everyday and still have extensive family ties in the Pittsburgh/Youngstown area. Anyhow, the lawyer's last name struck a cord. Some of the earliest Black Hand bosses were named Caputo and Donald "Moose" Caputo had casinos along WV and PA. I need to do some ancestry work to tie this guy into one of the infamous Caputo clan.

Good find, JCB.

I don't know how I missed this one, but I missed it. Louis Caputo, 39, Pittsburgh attorney charged in illegal gambling scheme involving video gambling devices.

Antillar and Chris Christie: I wonder if this guy is a descendant of Dominic Caputo, earlier Black Hand boss in the Pittsburgh area? He also could be related to Donald "Moose" Caputo, former casino owner and gambling kingpin from Youngstown.
