THE BLACK HAND FORUM

I’m going to check this out for sure. In recent years I have grown more curious about unidentified top echelon informants. I feel like you can only read the same stories over and over so much, but it feels like if we could identify who all of the informants were (or at least reasonably guess) it wou...

As carmine always said, they’re nothing more than a glorified crew.

Also, as someone else said, he participated in killing his boss. Someone willing to violate that cardinal rule may be willing to give information from time to time. Look at Harry Riccobene in Philly. He went to war against a boss and it was later proven he was an informant for years. Look at Bill Bo...

I don't think deccico would give up a meeting he was attending. and the paperwork the guy gus got ahold of no one's ever seen and big Paul seen it and declared it not worthy or maybe not explained who giving the info. Also the fbi lied alot in there paperwork to get court orders wirwtaps . I mean p...

I’m not aware of sclafani’s information ever being proven wrong and he was getting information straight from the Southern District of NY where his mother in law worked. She was actually indicted in a rico case because of it. This poses more questions to yours than it answers. Surely only VERY few s...

If Decicco was a rat you would think the Castellano murder gets thwarted. Eh, debatable. Exhibit 1 is Scarpa and all of his nonsense while being a CI. Exhibit 2 is the 84 Commission meeting location being given up. He organized that meeting and is one of the few who could give up the location. Exhi...

Procopio is ALWAYS on or near that corner of Oregon Ave that Oregon Steaks is at (Corner of 10th & Oregon) , Someone please correct me if I am wrong but doesn’t he own or silently owns or is at least a partner/Silent partner in Oregon Steaks? That’s what I was always under the impression of. I ...

I see gangster report took the story down. Gangster report getting their info from the wash n wear bandit now? I’m not sure who the “original” source was but I feel like once someone breaks a story all of the other mob YouTubers start to run with it. What are the odds they all have the same sources...

I see gangster report took the story down.

I thought I read it was Angelo Ruggerio who went to see the other families for permission. Or maybe he went to see the Colombo’s? I’m a Philly guy so I could definitely be wrong.

Philly is easy with late 80’s Scarfo. That took out half of the made guys. Along those lines, I think of the 1994 case against the Stanfa organization. That essentially just wiped out everything that got set up between 1990 and 1994 and the Merlino faction just starts from scratch after that. The f...
