THE BLACK HAND FORUM

serp says he seen Merlino in Jersey. but I thought he cant leave florida. which is it?

I agree that murder nowadays bringin too much heat,and definitly is not priority,but those fuckin Cantarella's should fuckin die,whole family

Didn't most of this info come from Vitale actually?

Randolph Pizzolo murder and also in 2004 the majority of the captains did not like Basciano as boss because he was too flamboyant.

Just like Gravano and that bastard with the car wash reality show,he needs whacked. If this was 30 years ago i bet nobody would be living out in the open,LCN in the U.S. is dead.

It´s not dead. It has evolved. The Mafia is still alive and active. At least in New York. Murder is not a priority any longer though and killing off rats who has already given testimony has never been a frequent occurrence.

After coppa , Lino , cantarella , tartaglione and especially vitale flipped they didn't really need any info from massino . They already had everything they needed

We learned Basciano made himself boss, And Massino was worth about 12 million

Deeeebateable.

He also cleared up the motives for the murders of Sonny Black and Tony Mirra. He also led the Feds to the bodies of Big Trin Trinchera and Phil Giaccone.


Pogo

thanks Sonny. Interesting.

I was wondering if we had a list of things we found out due to his turning i.e. galante murder wasn't a commission item

Good article if you're after convictions resulting from Vitale:
