Obviously, the Gambinos and Bonannos have always had the stronger Sicilian connections. I haven't really seen anything comparable with the other NY families, including the Genovese. In the early years, it was the Genovese family which was less "clannish," in the Sicilian sense, and more &...

Merola isn’t made. He used his mother’s maiden name so he would sound Italian. Got caught up trying to rip off Home Depot He was a captain. He was a Soldier as far as I know and was reporting to NY. I don't believe there is a Captain for the Gambino's in NJ anymore. He and Buddy Musk were the only ...

I was there recently staying in North Beach and ate at Alioto’s in the Wharf. Not much of significant Italian population. San Jose is very limited as well, and their Little Italy is reduced to a block. I lived in North Beach for years in the 90's back when it was grimy and all hookers and strip clu...

I am halfway through Giovannis ring, its okay some decent info not too much I didnt know so far. I wonder if the Undercover knew he picked a active soldiers last name (Gatto)and was ever questioned if he was related.

And on the Montreal side a lot of it was orchestrated by a 30-something guy from NYC with no known involvement in any murders. It's a question how many DeCavalcante members throughout their history have actually participated in a murder. A lot of the ones we know of were part of the NYC faction, bu...

So I was listening to David Holthouse on JRE today, he is the investigative reporter behind Sasquatch a mini documentary about a triple murder blamed on Bigfoot in the 90's. Towards the end of the podcast he tells a story about living in Phonix and getting a tip about a mafia hit man living in Phoen...

David Chase based Hesh on The Sopranos in Season 1 being a Record Label owner based on Corky from the DeCavs. He lived in Colts Neck in Monmouth County, which is a really upscale wealthy area in which many of the estates have horse farms (Hesh also had a horse farm on The Sopranos). The town has so...

Anyone have any good info on Corky? He lived down the street from me in Colts Neck NJ. I believe his wife still owns the house. I know he was DeCavacante but it seems he didn't really make any moves with them. He was big in the record industry with the Chin and made some moves with the Gambinos. Eno...

Great find. This is his obituary. https://www.chubenkofh.com/obituary/francesco-gatto I always knew him as Joe, lol they used to use so many different 1st names his son is a good friend of mine. His father wasn't active as far as I was aware and held great respect in the family and community. Every...

Apparently they supplied the gangsters they contracted with all kinds of crazy gadgets, and training. Really makes you wonder who actually was responsible for killing Kennedy. Could have been Lee Harvey, or the CIA, or maybe it was the mob. I mean after all they did basically render two made hitmen...
