One more.... Benny Squint being the boss was the worst kept secret in the mafia. Everyone knew. We don't have a lot of Genovese member sources from that era but Barone, Russo, and Cafaro all said Lombardo was the actual boss. They were all soldiers (though Russo and Cafaro were very close to the ad...

The mob is currently more active in South Florida than people think. Follow that up? I thought we didnt need any evidence! :D Just based on things I've heard from some ex-law enforcement sources and a couple others who tell me there is still decent activity in Palm Beach and Broward counties especi...

When Joe Campisi died, the Dallas Mafia died.

Small tidbit- when Vincent LoScalzo took over Tampa after Santo Jr died, he flew to Texas and met with Joe Campisi to 'introduce' himself.

I read somewhere that Nixon pardon Gyp DeCarlo. I don’t think so. Here is a full list of his pardons. https://www.justice.gov/pardon/pardons-granted-president-richard-nixon-1969-1974 He commuted his sentence. Not a pardon.
