THE BLACK HAND FORUM

I'm reading the English version now and it's definitely frustrating how few pointed questions they seemed to ask Scoppa. They're less interested in the status, structure, etc, and more interested in fleshing out the details of the murders that occurred after Vito went away. it's still interesting to...

Were the Cherry Hill Gambinos integrated into the Gambino Family or did they remain somewhat autonomous? Like if someone were theoretically made under the cherry hills, what is that person made into? The Gambino Family or the Inzerillo clan?

Why did the commission consult Joe Bonanno before the Galante hit? Would they have called it off if they didn't get his blessing?

The stake to the heart for them was the fact that they registered their members with the government. They know exactly who is involved and at what level so when the Yakuza exclusion ordinances came down it was very easy to ostracize members. It's illegal to employ Yakuza members. They can't even buy...

Regarding the 1957 Palermo Summit: Given the participants of the meeting, is it likely that the heroin business wasn't discussed at all? I understand there are no first hand accounts and that there there is some disagreement concerning the nature of the meeting?

Was Jack Luppino's wife Domenica Todaro related to the Buffalo Todaros?

Leonardo's sister is also a lawyer and practiced at the same firm. I believe both worked on their father's extradition case.

Re: Violi, One thing I'm having trouble wrapping my mind around is how an Underboss in Canada would be useful to Buffalo? You ever seen a map? Cheech you're now doing what you just gave Wiseguy shit for🤦‍♂️ @Slumpy I think it could be a few reasons. One reason might be to strengthen the ties betwee...
