Not made. At least, there's nothing out there that would suggest otherwise

Re: TMA: The Camorra's Influence on American Cosa Nostra

Looking through that case book for the Pellegrino Morano trial, I found a Western Massachusetts connection that appeared quite interesting. From Ralph Daniello's testimony, Springfield bootlegger (and reported 'King of Little Italy') Carlo Siniscalchi attended a peace conference in Brooklyn between ...

Re: Researching the Mafia

What types of court records are publicly available online? Are actual court transcripts accessible? I saw a post one time describing what a mob defendant said in their sentencing hearing (federal trial). It wasn’t something you’d find on google, and I doubt they attended in person. I’ve always wond...

Re: Joey Merlino is back in town

Not sure where else to put this, but is there anything to the claim that Joey Merlino personally pulled the trigger in the Mikey Ice Brennan hit? People on another site are claiming that. He made his bones by taking part in an earlier hit under Stanfa right? What hit was that? Also why was Mikey Ic...

Re: joe barone

Joe Barone's father was Joe Barone Sr, not George Barone. Joe Barone Sr was a Genovese member who was murdered.

Re: Numbers of hits ordered by mob bosses

How many of those hits really can be assigned to Bruno? Half of them seem to be not mob related and not sanctioned by him. As boss Bruno ordered or sanctioned the murders of at least Dominick Caruso (1962), Joseph McGreal (1973), Alvin Feldman (1974), Louis DeMarco (1976), Giuseppe Leva (1977), Edw...

Re: General Mob Questions

When did Carmine Persico officially become the boss of the Colombo Family? An FBI document i have just read is from November 5th, 1980, Greg Scarpa informs them that Persico has been elevated to official boss though I have seen other dates elsewhere. Amuso is catching up… 1980 seems like the most a...

Re: What was the Combaneesh?

I think one of the more likely theories for why Masseria would want to 'sneak in' camorristi is that he was doing it in anticipation of a conflict with D'Aquila. There's a logic in Masseria consolidating his strength on the sneak, especially by bringing in more Neapolitans and Calabrians that D'Aqui...
