THE BLACK HAND FORUM

I didn't know Anthony Guzzo's background that was surprising to read because I thought John Pennisi always talked about how Anthony isn't a tough guy. I don't remember him saying that about him. But he talked about him lying a lot. He's made some comments about Anthony making himself scarce when it...

Everybody says Delaurentis is the boss of the Outfit but I think Salvatore Cataudella took over after Sarno and has been the boss since then.

Question for the Outfit experts...Snakes, Polack, etc. - I noted John Rainone was listed as a collector within the Calabrese street crew indictment from the mid 1990s - is this the same John Rainone who is the father of Mario Rainone and was indicted on extortion and drug charges about 10 years ago...

St. Louis 1980-1981

IMO, the only loss was James Marcello and just the "aura" of the Outfit. Nobody knows what was really going on with Joe Lombardo so his imprisonment could have been meaningless, Frank Schweihs was still gonna die in 2008 anyway, Frank Calabrese would have only been on the street for a few ...

These were played last week on a three part documentary series on the History Channel called American Godfathers: The Five Families. Part three was mostly about Massino and the Bannano family.

Anyone know is this is really Paul Koroluk's son? What a violent life these guys expose their kids to - I was told Koroluk Jr. was also in prison for 15 years at age 18 for shooting someone at a birthday party on Chicago's West Side. https://patch.com/illinois/crystallake/update-search-finds-drugs-...

Richard Cantarella had a short lived reality TV show as well.

Picture from 2019 of Solly D totally not looking like a mafia boss and Marco Damico. Is Rich Mancini and John Amato suspected of being anybody?

Is there a general consensus on SB when it comes to his reporting on current events? I used to check his site before it had a paywall, but as others mentioned I had no way to confirm or dispute much of what I’d read. I'm sure he has a few sources that can tell him if someone is involved or even mig...

Interesting article I've never heard that before. I just figured there's no way in 1950's Chicago you could run that kind of business without them having some say in it.

Does anybody know if Hugh Hefner was ever extorted by the Outfit in the early days of Playboy or if there was any investment into it or involvement by anyone?

It's been a while since I've read Nick Calabrese's testimony but I want to say the women was the wife of John Fecarotta's dead brother and Nick said it was pretty clear they had a physical relationship. He also said at one point on that trip John Fecarotta freaked out about something and said he sho...

If Sal Cataudella was the underboss under Mike Sarno how come nobody believes he succeeded him instead of the usual names that they give? Half the part of being the number 2 guy is so you can step up to number 1 if/when something happens to him.
