Not to bump an old thread but I wanted to say I think Rj has been very good. Hes got a calm demeanor and sets up Michael with the right questions. Its a well done show. Sundays live was exceptional Agreed, he's growing on me. I will say, and he would probably get super defensive about this, i dont ...

They didn’t give any of their victims a compassionate “release” so at the end of the day you gotta reap what you sow

I always felt the Lucchese’s or Agro did it. I never bought the whole “Gotti killed him” theory. I have heard that Souone was killed by the Bergin Crew but who knows

Recently found an article from September 79 regarding Tony Plate’s disappearance on August 13 1979. The fellow who apparently was killed along with him was Hyman Levine who was a criminal associate. I always wondered if there were more involved in their deaths other than Gott, Angelo, and Willie boy...

Great writeup on the wakes for Vincent and Frank DeCicco. https://lcnbios.blogspot.com/2022/11/decicco-wakes-gambino.html . Agreed. Cool to see how many heavyweights and big names attended the funeral although back then it wasn’t unusual. It’s also interesting to note what else was going on in the ...

Yeah I think it’s probable. I don’t think Gotti was ever truly considered to succeed Neil like the report says it was just wishful thinking on his part. I mean Paul wouldn’t even name Gotti as official capo if the Bergin crew. Even though he ran the crew I believe technically in title he was the act...

I’m pretty sure Chris was still handling the big murder contracts in Season 6 Until he was killed. Wasn’t Rusty Milio hit in Season 6 and that guy from Boston that owed him/the family money ? It looked like that after Chris died, Patsy inherited him as the family's go-to guy for murders. When Tony ...

I always assumed that Tony was killed in front of his family at the end. Just like Phil, he overstayed his welcome, and the organization got rid of him. New York talked to Paulie and Patsy and it was decided it was time for Tony to go. After his trip to the Purgatory, Chrissy warned Tony and Paulie...

Always been skeptical of the way the Frank Piccolo murder has been painted... Gravano told the story about Castellano selling out his own CT captain to the Genovese family, but are there any sources who had firsthand knowledge of the Piccolo hit and how/why it was ordered? The idea of the Genovese ...

I’ve always believed Tony went to jail. Carlo could easily send him to jail since he was a high ranking member. His biggest fear was going to jail. He never did any real time and with his mental issues he probably couldn’t handle it. The family was pretty decimated by the end. Chris was dead, Bobby...

John Cennamo was murdered in 1984 (staged suicide) , although likely not ordered by Castellano he was still in the seat at the time . Yeah that was done by the Bergin Crew I believe and made to look like a suicide right? According to this article that murder was done by Willie Boy Johnson, Ruggerio...
