Not for nothing but this dubro guy has his head up his ass, is biased, and I think he’s been out of the loop for many years now in all honesty. The guy is better talking about politics than the mob at this point. All the times the news sources have quoted this so called “mob expert” in the last dec...

I also think people shouldn't jump to conclusions. When Domenic Violi spoke about the attacks on Musitano, he seemed to have been referring to a third party. However, his knowlegde on the conflict suggests that he was either backing this other party or had sanctioned the killings. For instance, he w...

Any word yet on who was wounded? John Clary, a long-time associate of Pat, is one. He was the individual that drove his car into the other car with Quebec plates that was parked outside of Pat's house following the first shooting. He's his 76 year old bodyguard. Apparantly saved Musitano from an ea...

Does this still really come as a suprise? I thought most here knew he was a dead man walking and the suprise should be about how he was able to dodge it for so long.

So he has been hit by Covid.

Yep it is all fake. Just one big racist conspiracy. The sainted MLK never associated with or was financed by communists. Nope never. Nor did have orgies with prostitutes and members of his church using church money. nor did he have extramarital affairs with over 40 women, nor did pressure women int...

Is the book going to be about the Outfit? Is it in collaboration with the other fellas?

The information is conflicting. Here it says that Albert Anastasia made Scalise underboss in 1951: https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=138070&relPageId=92&search=gambino_AND%20underboss Charles Chiri was either underboss or consigliere, but doesn't say exactly when: https://www.m...

Could this actually considered a demotion?

Followed closely by Once Upon a Time in America (one can make a good case it belongs in that list), Donnie Brasco and American Gangster. You had me until American Gangster. I watch the movie for what it was, but it wasn't a true story for sure. Even Bumpy's wife said Frank Lucas was full of shit. I...

I believe the findings were inconclusive.

As I've said many times, the elite of mob cinema is... The Godfather movies Goodfellas Casino The Sopranos If you never saw another mob movie or TV show besides those, you'd be OK. That's not to say there aren't some other great mob flicks. But those above are in a league of their own. Followed clo...

He is referring to the HBO version with Armand Assante. I also prefer Casino to Goodfellas. Pogo Same. I also prefer the setting of the glitter and glamour of Vegas over gritty Brooklyn. The characters are larger than life too. It's much more 'grandeur' so to speak. I prefer The Godfather Part II a...

Anyone 40 or younger generally thought Casino was the best mob movie as it came out when we were teens. I remember we even gave each other nicknames from the names in the movie. We were too young for Goodfellas when it first came out (I was 10 then) and Casino came out when we were 15 and we had al...
