THE BLACK HAND FORUM

What a joke. The government legalizes it but these guys get arrested for it. Some clown must be dreaming about a life in Jersey politics.

Disagree. Prison has to have some sort of rehabilitative element. A person who committed crimes as a young man should have the chance to get out as an old man.

Joe Ligambi is also a very nice guy. Congenial, funny, likes to make jokes. Very nice to my wife as well.

Three wiseguys testifying against a piece of shit cop who wasn't worth a dime. What a world.

Good stuff. Nice work putting this together.

Good, lets not derail the thread then. I'm in.

Whether it started as a troll, doesn't mean it wouldn't be a fun idea. Could come together fairly simply. Rent a conference space for a day, get several authors to speak, couple social events in the evening, bam, we have a conference.

Retired, not shelved. Keeps made man status and rights but isn't involved unless it involves him and his directly. That's my take. Just don't see Joey doing it any other way.

Joey has been out and about since he's been out of prison in 2015. He's not inconspicuous. Imo, the only guy who shelves Joey in Philly is Joey. I don't believe for a minute anyone holding power in that group tells Joey anything. That goes for George, Stevie or Joe Ligambi. I do believe Joey was sma...

You're right, with that podcast they'd have to be crazy to be out with Joey in public if they're still in the game. Just knowing how Joey was the pied piper as recently as before his last prison stint, I don't think Joey gets shelved. Maybe he steps aside, retires, whatever you want to call it. Migh...
