THE BLACK HAND FORUM

Yeah they are still around. Though like has been mentioned there are a lot less of them around and those that are have a lot less activity connected to them.

Yea I was under the impression by the late 90s early 2000s they all closed down because of the amount of heat from surveillance and wiretaps. But I was speaking to someone in Brooklyn and he says that they are still around.

In boston social clubs still exist butbthey are just hang outs . Guys hang around watch sports , play cards and avoid there wives . I seriouslu doubt any1 would be dumb enough 2 talk business in a club with all the audio surveillance there is there Days

Most recent I recall was one being used by the Genovese in Lower Manhattan at the intersection of Market and Cherry streets.

Do any of the Five Families still operate socials clubs or have a designated spot such as a restaurant where they meet up?
