Hector Juan pagan is his name....that sounds italian and corsican? WHy wont he admit he is PR. Yeah i thought the same thing. Hector Juan Pagan is neither Italian or Coriscan surname, what's this guy talking about? Clearly he is Puerto Rican. He even says he lived in PR for years as a child. Just a...

Interesting interview of Junior Pagan by Jeff Nadu. Didn't realize how close he was with Joe Massino.

Messina is listed as living in New Fairfield, CT. Is he a CT made guy? New Fairfield right on NY border in Danbury area of CT, so I'm thinking prob a NY guy now living right over the line in CT.

The book on the Ndrangheta I just read talked about how much better the Italian OC groups are at laundering money than anyone else. It said Central and South American cartels, Russian and Asian crime syndicates will go to the Italians specifically for their money laundering expertise. Always lookin...

Yeah i noticed that too, he didn't want to talk about Barney. I wonder what he relationship was like with Rooster, who eventually took over his crew.

Also Artilotta claimed he had approx. 12 made guys under him, any idea who they are? Guys in CT? We'd have to see a list of crew members in the early-mid 2000s.

Great podcast, def recommend if you want a detailed, entertaining account of the Buddy Cianci story.

Just some clarification regarding the initiation ceremony in Canada involving undercover fed- so it was an undercover agent being initiated into the Bonnano Crime Family and the ceremony took place in Canada and Buffalo crime family members were present? Do we know how many Bonnano and Buffalo crim...

As I've pointed out whenever this topic comes up, these guys take an oath to put LCN and it's rules before everything, including their own families. Cirillo was holding true to that, as unthinkable as it is. as you know there are other informants that have said it wasnt Dom that it was Vinny and Do...
