Re: Matteo Messina Denaro Arrested

So he didn't get facial reconstruction plastic surgery after all, that always sounded like a fairytale. OTOH the cancer story checks out. He really looks like shit if I didn't know he's 60 I'd say more like 80. Doesn't seem like he's long for this world which will only fuel speculations of all sorts...

Re: Unpopular opinion. Feds don’t know nearly as much about present day active LCN families as they did in the old day

LCN sure hasn't gotten any smarter since the 80s/90s. Entire Lucchese administration going away for the Meldish hit (among other events that have already been mentioned, like Bonanno and Philly ceremonies being bugged) proved to me that all families except the Genoveses and maybe the Gambino Zips ar...

This view generally prevailed until the 1990's. In hindsight, I think much of it was due to the inaccurate ideas of weak leadership in the ...

Re: bonanno split

How did Mancuso get to the top anyway? He spent 25 out of last 35 years in jail. When he was out around 1995-2005 Massino's testimony makes it seem like he was mainly muscle/enforcer not exactly a senior executive type.

Re: bonanno split

Amazing coincidence that Mancuso gets released and Cammarano and Porky beat the charges in court the very next day. Maybe the Bonannos hoped that those two would go away for many years, which would make the whole problem moot. Now you have the boss in the streets as well as two guys who plotted a so...
