THE BLACK HAND FORUM

The old woman story is total nonsense. Not Bobby's style.

That old woman story is nonsense. I can't speak on his gangster exploits, none of my business, but he is a complete gentleman & everyone knows that. A gangter's gangster. DiFronzo & Zizzo loved him. Where are you getting your info on these guys btw? You've met them? Know people who met them?...

Another thing, I can't speak for Paulie Carparelli, but Bobby Panozzo is far from some meth head wannabe. He came up in the Lombardo Crew & is one of the most respected & feared gangsters in Chicago. He's also very wealthy & a complete gentleman. You won't find anyone who would dispute t...

Always annoyed by that comment, everyone dressed in suits in the 40s, 50s, and 60s. no they didn't no Outfit guys ever wore 3 pieces of dressed flashy. There are photos of DiFronzo & Lombardo when they were younger, they dress in street clothes. I like how that guy cited Joe Andrich as a "...

I never even mentioned Dino Marino's name! Where did I type in the name Dino Marino before right now? Listen Pete, You have a much higher opinion of the Younger guys in the Outfit than I do. That's all that matters. I think any younger guy who would be interested in joining the Outfit would be a lo...

I think the younger guys seem to be even more delusional and lowlifes than the older guys like DiFronzo or Andriacchi. The older guys dressed much better and were at least smart enough to become wealthy and get out. This will never happen to any younger guys. The Outfit will be finished as a Family...

I don't buy that shorty wasn't made, he had his own crew.

Eboli may not have been well liked towards the end, but he was Aiuppa & Lombardos hand picked guy to take the reins. They loved him.

There are Outfit/east coast relationships. Solly D is good friends with Agnello, they spent years in the can together & Gottis recommended Bruce Cutler to Solly. Pudge Matassa is married into the Genovese family. Obviously Tommy Ebolis kid was one of the most beloved Outfit soldiers ever & e...

They were Patriarca guys.

Shorty LaMantia was a made man.

DiFronzo having dinner with Panozzo, Vena, Zizzo, and the Hollingsheads was mentioned in a Burnstein article highlighting Jeff Hollingshead.

Operating bosses were, to the best of my knowledge: Giancana Battaglia Cerone Alderisio (possibly, leaning towards "no") Aiuppa Carlisi DiFronzo Monteleone Tornabene Marcello Sarno DeLaurentis Tornabene gets way overhyped, i don't have him as street boss at any given point. The Last Suppe...

Out of the men you mentioned, only Aiuppa, DiFronzo, & Carlisi were the #1. And Aiuppa & Carlisi did time but it was toward the end of their lives. So my point still stands. DiFronzo has always been a gangster. There is surveillance of him socializing with Albie, Sarno, Zizzo, & Panozzo ...

Magnafichi was strung out on drugs & let his book go by the wayside so they just gave it to someone else. He also got taken & swindled by Hatch Chiaramonti. Him being shelved had nothing to do with DiFronzo "pulling back".

Nobody in their RIGHT MIND would even WANT to be the top Boss of the Outfit because it is a SURE prison sentence. John DiFronzo. Incredibly repetitive. This. And the last Chicago thread. And the one before. And the one before. And the one before. And ... Actually difronzo stepped back from being th...

Agreed no one in their right mind would want the top spot that's why I found it highly unlikely guys like Pete difronzo and Joey a would be the boss. Old and have all the money in the world why risk all that at this point in their lives? Uhh because they're lifelong gangsters & murderers? C'mon...
