THE BLACK HAND FORUM

I agree with you. I think the origin of the myth lays in the Valachi Hearing Genovese chart where Carmine Persico is listed as a soldier, and a member of Mike Miranda´s crew. Not knowing that this was an error, people assumed (although the picture on the chart clearly depicts Persico Jr) that this w...

It´s generally believed that Persico´s father was a member of the Genovese Family. What reliable sources do we have that confirms this? Could it be just a myth that his father was involved or is there any truth to this? I remember reading somewhere that his father was a 9-5 working man, an accountan...

Guys...chill out with the name calling. You´re both good posters. Let´s enjoy this thread before it gets out of hand.

The whole thing is confusing. Joe Luparelli testified that Sonny Pinto, with two brothers, killed Joey Gallo and wounded bodyguard Pete the Greek. But according to research and eyewitnes accounts, it was a lone gunman who calmly walked into Umbertos and fired the shots. So it´unclear if Luparelli wa...

Antony Stango aka FAT Wigger... His page is filled with "you feel me" lol There is also a pic of him and his Capo dad. His favorite music is "lil Wayne, Eminem and Young Jeezy". :lol: Sam DeCavalcante and John Gotti must be rolling over in their grave. This is the future of the ...

Thanks for posting this Snakes. There is some interesting stuff in there that helped me clear up some things. It´s not Danny Marino. Danny Marino had a criminal record by 1965 (assault on the FBI agent in connection with the funeral of Camillo Lombardozzi) and Danny was never identified as made in t...

East Bronx´s got the hots for his mother...

Can´t blame him...

Me and Hairy discussed Nicky Bianco on the old board IIRC. I'm sure he can shed more light on it but I think he was made in Brooklyn? I think we found the exact month and year he was made and what restaurant it was supposedly in. It was in one of the FBI files online. Yeah, I remember that. And I t...

According to Gravano, Toddo Aurello´s son Charles was made before Gravano. I would guess he was one of them made in early 1976, unless Gravano was made in the third bash. Another candidate would be Corrao´s brother August.

TG, Chucky is not a troll. He is actually a good poster. One thing you have to get used to overhere is the different style of posting from what you (well...and all of us who once started overthere) are used to. It´s tougher overhere for sure, but you´ll get used to it. Any beef you got, handle it i...

Yes, I have Lennert´s email.

"Anthony Bonventre [Maranzano] Marh 1930 (I did look into this killing and found a news clipping about arrests in the case, and the guys arrested were not apparently involved in the War)" - Dave, do you remember the names of the guys arrested? "Pasquale D'Auria killed [Maranzano] Octo...

The FBI listed Patsy Conte as a captain going back to at least 1960. I can´t say if they were wrong or right but I assume the Gambino informants who talked to the feds in the 1960s knew about Conte. B, I´m sure you have seen this document already, but for those who haven´t, here´s some interesting s...

A good list of unanswered questiones there B.

I would love to have access to a fully accurate and complete list of the names of all made members (NY Families from ca 1920 til today). I´d pay a fortune for a list describing the structure with all bosses, underbosses, consiglieres and crew leaders.
