THE BLACK HAND FORUM

Whoever pointed out that Frank jr. as main source would make it likely Goudie said Accardo was right. Does anyone remember who jr said told him it was “the old man”? I thought it was someone other than his father. His brother Kurt told him and swore him not to tell. Here is him telling Michael Fran...

Here's the video https://www.nbcchicago.com/top-videos-home/does-the-chicago-mob-still-exist-in-2025-nbc-5-investigates-finds-out/3746324/ Thanks, interesting stuff.

Damn, he’s not that old.

Someone like Ronnie is not going to have a difficult time earning assuming his health doesn’t impede that, which it seems like it might.

DiFronzo wasn't even involved in anything illegal when he confronted him that day. He was fully retired. Agree to disagree on that. I think he was still consigliere or chairman of the board or whatever you want to call it. That "interview" happened in 2009. According to Goudie, Difronzo w...

Anyway to get back on topic a new JoePuzzles "reconstruction" of the Outfit just dropped. Blend of official information with the more plausible rumors. Anyone missing besides the Sicilian restaurateur brothers I assume he omits for legal reasons? Jason Nitti isn't on it either. Where did ...

BokaBreeze is a legend.

In his own mind.

Casino is on Netflix now, so I watched it relatively recently. What really stands out to me about Scorsese's movies is that they are just so damn interesting to look at . I can't really explain it, but there's constant action, colors, outfits, changes of scenes, in all his movies. Even though they ...

And somehow 30 years later both hold up almost perfectly.

How accurate is Nicholas Pillegi's Casino? I'm aware it's not regarding Spilotro's murder but is his time in Vegas generally accurate or what? I've seen the movie obviously but i've never read the book and i'm considering doing so if it's at least somewhat accurate. Is Frank Cullota his source or i...
