THE BLACK HAND FORUM

I guess no judges retired this week.

This is starting to remind me of the hype surrounding Lebron when he became a free agent the first time. If Guzzo has a brain he will take his talents to South Beach so to speak and get the hell away from the mob life - what kind of retard wants to be part of a "secret society" that has ab...

Thanks for posting. Crazy to think that decisions about the administration were being made in the visiting room at Lompoc - you would think that the feds would want to record Persico meeting with high level members of his crime family.

Thanks for posting. I can't even imagine what it would be like to be back on the street after 28 years inside - Clinton was POTUS when Guzzo went away. The world is so different and it will probably take him a long time to adjust to even be able to function properly in public.

That was the worst mob book I ever read. Almost 20 years later I still can't get over him claiming that Pistone called his uncle Phil's house the day of the three captains hit to tell him not to go to the meeting tonight. There were tons of obvious lies in the book but they always stood out to me.

That's been out there for a long time.

Lol thanks

I would kill to see a clip of Nicky saying "thank God for the American jury system" to a reporter outside the courtroom.

These ones might be foregone conclusions to most but- Guys like Kevin Weeks, Johnny Martorano, maybe even guys like Jimmy Mantville and Paul Moore were completely aware of Whitey giving info to the FBI. They have admitted to knowing about Whitey's relationship with Connolly, I believe they just ass...

I believe that relationships/contact between LCN and U.S intelligence services between the end of WW2 and the 1970's or so were a lot tighter than many know. There is a shadowy network there that intersects crime, business, the military industrial complex, and foreign policy. They could all "s...

Thanks for the info fellas. I guess the third time was the charm lol.

I have questions about DeLeo's redemption arc here. All I really know about him is from Gohnjotti's piece on him on his Colombo family site. He explicitly says that DeLeo cooperated against Dr Ucker and the reason he did his time on the federal system was at his request because he feared retaliation...

What's the story on Testa getting shot in 1980? It isn't mentioned in Blood and Honor as far as I can recall. I know the shooting in 82 is when DeLuca and Pedulla blasted him with a shotty as he was eating clams.

Thanks for posting, but holy crap Jerry re-running a story from 6 years ago is pretty lame.

Great thread as per usual Chin, thanks for breaking this down. I remember in Anastasia's book he portrayed Luisi as a cuck for not avenging the murder of his father and brother but it turns out that his own friends did it! Crazy stuff. Did he really say that he was "eating" cocaine??
