THE BLACK HAND FORUM

You are saying that a psychological condition is interchangeable to a word essentially defining a criminal act.

Now why not just admit you learned about the Buttita's from Joe Fosco, not your uncle?

That's actually completely false. Please keep going though

That's the difference with me fella's - I have "theories" - apparently others have the "facts"

Scott says Solly D is running things. My theory is that Marco D'Amico is the most powerful on the street, but runs it on a panel with Solly D and Joe Andriacchi and maybe even Jimmy Inendino. Jonny DiFronzo is likely still the "chairman."

Louie never owned a "canned tomato company." He simply had a supervisor role in Tony Marano's company up until he went to prison - that's where he got all his different cars. Marano remains the largest produce supplier in the Chicago area today. Sam Carlisi, Al Tournabene, the Grieco's and...

Chicago wrote:Johnny's Beef Stand on North Avenue in Elmwood Park is great. You would like it.
That's my favorite for sandwiches.

Nice - did you check it out after you saw it featured on Anthony Bourdain?

Joe Boston's is the best in the city.

milwaukeephil,to be fair here, alot of your posts both here and on the old forum have been disagreements with chicago on certain information/theories with a fair share of personal shots thrown in. i don't have a clue about who's info is right and who's is wrong, nor do i care either way. the best t...

That was before I found out the real story about Joe Fosco's extortion allegation. After I found out the real story, I changed my attitude towards him. He did have a lot of interesting information that I did agree with but he made up some stuff about DiFronzo and he said Willie Messino talked about...

MilwaukeePhil, I was asked by a member of this forum to delete a message you posted. The message was obviously not appreciated by this member. Use the Graveyard section for arguments. Don´t try to start them in here! :D Sorry I will play nice. Christie, TheDon was a poster on ANP and a major fan of...

Didn't you used to post under the handle "The Don" on ANP?

Tosto is very tight with Solly D. I believe Solly might even be his godfather - in the literal sense :D . Donny Boy is only half right about Joe Fosco - but is basing that on what he's heard. Fosco was a rather enterprising guy who moved in shady circles - he was Willie Messino's driver for a few ye...

Greg Tosto is a relative of current and former Cicero Crew members. I think he owns a few businesses including one up in Mundelein. He pals around with Joey Messino.

Fosco is an interesting character - but a sociopath just like the gangsters he says he despises.

lol take a xanax no one's askin you to debate it. :D You got your opinion and this is mine: Jonny and Pete DiFronzo pulled back. Marco and Joe A are active. Rudy has the EP Crew which is now more centered in Addison and Bloomingdale. They are the second largest crew with various subcrews. Tony Dote ...

I personally believe Burnstein's Outfit hierarchy is the most accurate out there. I disagree with a few specifics, but do believe the acting boss sits in Cicero and is likely Solly D. I do however believe Marco D'Amico is higher up and likely the main liaison between crews (or the main liaison for A...

Phil was polarizing -- even his own people didn't like him that much. But I don't think Mags would have referred to him as a boss if he wasn't. Too many sources say he got the top spot, although only for a short time before he went to prison. Did Mags say he was just a "boss" or "top...
