THE BLACK HAND FORUM

It kills 3.6% of people who get it give or take.

If 100M people get it then youll have 10x the KIA of WWII.

That would fuck us up even worse than we are now.

If anyone can actually nail this or at least narrow it down that would be awesome.

He knew the most about the Colombos. That's who I thought he was with.

They were 1. Good for the money. 2. Ethical in the sense that betting with such a courteous and professional bookie was a clubby privilege of sorts so they didn't want to appear to be a deadbeat in front of their friends. 3. Discreet in that they didn't want to have to deal with anyone who even had ...

"Bugs Bulls and Rats" is a really good mob vignette book that was plausibly written under a pseudonym by a real insider who says he's an active non rat soldier in one of the five families. Speculation has pointed to him being a Colombo, Luchese, or Gambino. He said he did a long stretch fr...

The younger Armenians definitely ride with the Mexicans.

The nominal leader of Armenian Power is one of the only non Mexicans to be a full carnal in LAeme...Pegleg Joe Morgan status.

Devens has a camp that is very minimal security. The medical center has hospital aspects to it. But it's actually a mix of all security levels. So it's really not that sweet at all if you aren't being cared for as an elderly prisoner. If you are a young guy in his first bid and were expecting a camp...

Larca Jr and the Bascianos weed operation.
PJ Pisciottis weed operation
Servido and Piccolos feytanal and meth ring
Louis Dinunzios weed operation

Def depends where. My homie is at Devens now. He thought he was going to the camp but they fucked him and sent him to the FMC which is essentially a Max in that's it's Admin Sec level for all offenders. He has perfect paperwork and a clean honest drug charge and no one cares. Place is crawling with ...

This was clearly a priority for whatever reason in that they were investigating the operation for about two years.

All that money time and manpower. For 10 bookies.

Amazing.

Brian Brown in Detroit is big
Freeway Ricky Ross in La was huge
Ricky Grundy in Indianapolis was huge
T Cole in Pittsburgh was enormous

They kinda dance around the fact that the younger guys sell drugs. And some of the older ones too. "Gee I wonder how they make their money...." Perisano Piccolo Servidio all selling hard drugs and on the wire they said that Grande owed them for two pounds of weed. There's very little left ...

Yeah I mean the people who still do it like Surrenos and Nortenos and DTOs just don't care if they get jammed. Their hatred of rats exceeds their fear of doing life.

The only people who kill rats are drug dealing crews and street gangs.

The mob isn't that tough anymore. They aren't willing to do life to right that kinda wrong. In the 40s sure. Even the 70s. Not now.

Natale was a bullshit artist.

But his prison bona fides before he ratted are strong.

Like deleo he made a lotta contacts in prison that he leveraged into being boss. But he was Machiavellian whereas deleo was a Patsy
