THE BLACK HAND FORUM

I've said this before, but I still think Mags was saying things in those interviews to protect his old buddies. Stuff like outfit has no hand in gambling anymore since it's legal things of that nature. Also, he was one of the first people to hint that Gary Gags may have had more clout than we reali...

Nitti is far right. He’s a clean face but owns a logistics company that does a lot of business with a certain family from Bridgeport.

Tony, did you ever get a chance to look into the Gironda connection from that bust a few weeks ago? Thanks for the reminder on this. It's the perfect Chicago story: McPier, snowplow contract kickbacks, and guys from Bridgeport. I believe that the Dominick Gironda currently under Federal indictment ...

Anyone know why most chicago posts get pulled down on Reddit? Someone posed a question as to whether or not Louie Rainone was going to get reprimanded by the Cataudellas for his news interviews, and the post got taken down Not sure, but how is anyone going to be able to answer that question? I've a...

Bridgeport sounds... interesting, lol. I really need to take like a month, get an Air B&B and seriously experience Chicago. I lived there for 3 months in 2013~2014 but lived in Old Town the whole time and never really left Yuppie Land (one thing that really struck me at the time is that no one ...

In Scott's last article about Zizzo, he claims that Sarno was at one point a driver/bodyguard for Andriacchi. This is the first I've heard of this; however, I did see the photo of the two of them that was floating around a month or so ago when Andriacchi passed. Anyone have more info on that relati...

My memory is bad these days so i honestly dont recall whose wedding it was, but i'm sure that's the one. Was pretty surprised to see it there tbh lol. It's pretty specific photo most people wouldn't know about. Bro you gotta get a pic of it lol. I’m not visiting Chicago soon and now I want to see t...

Great story - Mandell could likely flip on Vena and the Outfit and help himself - interesting he doesn't given he's clearly a demented individual. There is something about Chicago - this Mad Sam DeStefano level stuff in this day and age is really something else. We can presume that the Feds have ha...

Mart Anthony's is, of course, on Racine and Hubbard, two blocks west of The Aberdeen Tap. I see no reason to doubt that Spina is a sociable guy who could frequent a number of different restaurants. Given that I recently posted about Bennie Filicchio, worth noting that Mart Anthony's was founded in ...

Someone has posted this claim before here, I don’t recall who or when exactly. It makes no sense of course. Also unclear to me what it even *means*: i.e., what is a hub of operations or whatever this person actually said? They are storing product there? They are using it as a transshipment or repac...

Here is something interesting. I have recently started communicating via Facebook with the director of the real casino documentary that was made in the early 2000s. Frank Buccieri was featured in the documentary but it was not advertised as him and his face was darkened out to not make it obvious. ...

Another possibility is that he was made in 89 with Solly D, but considering his status relative to DeLaurentis, Bellavia, etc. at the time, I'm not very confident in that scenario. Agreed. Is there any way he could have been made in prison? Given how little we really know about how the Outfit makes...

Anyone know the year Louie Rainone got out of jail? Can't find it online anywhere. Illinois inmate search looks like it doesn't list former inmates who are now free unless I'm fucking it up somehow (definite nonzero probability of that :lol: ). No idea. Anyone know if Robert Panozzo Jr even did any...
