THE BLACK HAND FORUM

His wife farted while visiting. Lauretta was an unusually gassy woman. Thank God for those crosswinds at Saint Michael's. You can almost feel the planes taking off and landing at LaGuardia. If not for that, that fart might have done in poor Mrs. Costello.

EB's words getting disected and put on a pedastal is because of a few people who dont even live in this country repeating his words as their own, thus giving his word a huge head. Its not his fault and people are wrong. Thank you, Brian. I never asked or looked for a "following." I didn't...

Mickey died just before Thanksgiving, Soliai.

Both he and carneglia will be on parole for at least 15 years after their release. At 74 he has to realize if he gets caught again for anything it's a life sentence. That's why I am wondering what his plans are. Does he have a wife and kids? You never hear of them Yes. He has daughters. Last I hear...

Back in the early 2000s it was reported that he was still very respected in the family and was being considered for Consiglieri even though he wasn't gettng out for like 15 years. Evdiently it didn't happen but it does show the esteem he was held in. If he does get back in the game I can see him, o...

You can't chase a guy who does thirty years standing on his head. But Sonny's right, he won't get an administration spot. He still has a HUGE shy book that's been watched after for all these years. If he's smart, he'll call it all in and get the fuck out of here for a warmer climate. He won't recogn...

E,B. silly question for all, you understand. did he pour concrete? did he have locals 23 104 59 et.al. did he have teamsters 282 et.al. every other major union.. you know where i'm going ..who did the super structures. he like every other builder from the rudin's to leffrak..tishman perini .hrh ..j...

It was probably impossible to do real estate in New York City during that time without at least rubbing shoulders with them. Exactly, Nicky. And don't forget, it was Trump's Father, Fred, who began the empire during the NY mob's true heyday. Just try being a builder back then without getting shaken...

Tommy Cafaro is still as close to the Barney as he was thirty years ago. He would have loved the button. But he never got it because it would have raised too many eyebrows among the old timers. However, Tommy thrived as an associate for years after his father flipped. Then again, we're talking about...

As I've said before, I'm happy to take certain long time, proven local guys at their word if it's something that doesn't conflict with the feds. East Bronx (pizzaboy) is one of those. But if the feds do disagree, as he'll tell you, we'll just have to disagree. Well, thank you, Wiseguy. And we do of...

If you did a bid, were real close with guys, they showed each other that type of emotion at times..tough guys do cry and all their time Crying is an honest trait. Not that wiseguys are generally honest lol. But like you, I mean amongst themselves. Nothing wrong with it in that sense. Barney cried a...

Most of the mob guys getting discussed on these forums are the ones we know about, lowlifes and scum. Those are the guys making the headlines. You´re right, one would need to be delusional or ignorant admiring Testa, Senter, Pitera, DiStefano or others of that lowlife, scum kind. But just like in s...

Just my two cents but I think the feds used the Gravano book to keep Frankie in solitary and use it against Jr. Too believe that Gotti actually attempted the hit would mean Gotti believed Sammy's story's in his book which wouldn't make sense since the Gotti camp was pushing Gravano is a lying rat c...

SmartinUp aka Joey Ricciardi was in the fed lock up with the three amigos when it all went down. The bickering and infighting actually happened between Gotti, Gravano and Loc. Whether or not the fuckin orange story and the crying is true I don't know. But the three were playing the blame game on ea...

It could be or it could not be... Either way, Gravano wrote it and knew it would eventually reach Gotti. So maybe Gravano was getting revenge that way.

I don't believe it, either. But that's just my opinion.
