THE BLACK HAND FORUM

I remember that magazine that had Tony Salerno as number one on a list of 100 wealthiest gangsters as if these guys file tax returns lol. The wealthiest gangsters are the ones with big businesses like construction and trucking etc and they have had a hold on these businesses for decades.

No, Scootch isn’t saying that at all.

He was saying if you shit on somebody who lives in a 650k home, you’re a pretentious asshole.
But he was actually nice about it and asked that that’s not what you meant. By responding with the above, you answered the question.

From the memo. Strange that the list would contain members who died so far back. You'd figure they would have been replaced already.

Second, the FBI also found two lists of made members of the Genovese Family hidden in Esposito’s residence. One of those lists consists of certain made members of the Family based in New Jersey who died within the last 20 years, while another list contains certain living members of the Family, all in one crew, and also based in New Jersey. As discussed above, whether or not LCN families can make new members has traditionally been based, in part, on the number of active and deceased members, and is reserved for individuals at the captain level or higher. The maintenance of such lists tracking living and dead members in a particular area are indicative of an individual responsible for making assessments about the induction of individuals into the Family, and thus having a high rank in the Family.

Appreciate your input Gohn.

What is your source there as Tino and Dentico have had the power the last three decades in NJ until recently. Any more info appreciated.

At one point in a complaint packed with the language of secretly taped conversations, an undercover FBI informant tells authorities LaScala was introduced to him as the "godfather of New Jersey."

That's from 2012 and mentions his Alzheimers. Was your "he devoloped Alzheimers in 2016" a typo? Just wondering because i'm pretty confused haha. Thanks for the link.
