Bergen Crew/Ruggiano Crew

Quick question about this....was there a difference between the Fatico/Gotti/Bergen Crew and the crew Ruggiano was associated with? Was he part of Fatico crew at one point? Were he and Fatico and/or Gotti capos at same time of separate crews? They were all originally from East New York....Just tryin...

Sinatra Club

I recently read this book by Polisi....not the best book but not as bad as I thought it was going to be....gives a decent, ground level picture of the organized crime scene in East New York/Queens in the 60s and 70s with respect to the Fatico and Roberts Lounge crew....focuses a lot on Foxy Jerothe,...

Re: Dirty Danny Mongelli/Louis Tuzzio article link

I remember reading somewhere that Louis and Nicky Tuzzio's father was an officer with NYPD...I think it was in a book about Chris Paciello.

Re: New Orleans.

Interesting insights....And again, I don't believe that they were involved in the JFK assassination, even before you consider the small size of their organizations....and then when you consider the small size of their organizations, I think it makes it even less likely they were.....yet the media at...

Re: New Orleans.

This may be a little off topic but I have seen a lot of information on the relative small size of the New Orleans family, even during the 1960s when the mafia was arguably at the peak of its power...I bring this up because Carlos Marcello (and Santo Trafficante) always seem to be portrayed as puppet...
