THE BLACK HAND FORUM

I mean after all he is the ONLY person to tell this story. Is his word reliable? There was some talk in the Frank Campi book that Bellomo was involved in his murder, or Franzese. Just curious what everyone thinks…do you believe Casso’s version of events is how it actually went down?

Did Gerry Pappa really bomb Frank Coppa? I never heard this before.

Carneglia that is….

Did Frank Balisteri have enough pull to order a bombing like that? I mean Rosenthal was a major player in the outfit. Surely he would have had to get permission from the outfit. I could see Spilatro pulling a stunt like that though. This is one the mafia mysteries we will never know the answer to.

How much money can this guy expect to earn annually as Colombo acting boss? Everyone’s opinion…..what is the acting boss of the Colombo crime family earning off family rackets in 2023. Im gonna say >$500,000.

Aiuppa definitely interesting to me and Chicago mob in general. Very sophisticated and disciplined yet so much more violent and ruthless than any other mob family.

I know this an old discussion but I just want to say that Alite would kick Calandra’s ass.

Read some interesting articles today about a big Gambino bust in 2010 involving a crew under Daniel Marino. Never heard about this case and never here anyone else talk about it. Was a pretty big case. It’s interesting to me that the leader of the crew was so young. You don’t here about mafia busts v...

the feds will never get Barney - he is very well insulated - stays well under the radar - I saw him in Home Depot 2 years ago in a sweat shirt and jeans picking out sheetrock by himself. Show that video to a jury and tell them he's the head of a crime family? The jury would laugh at the government!...

I thought it was Dom Cirillo who did the whole entering on an off ramp thing lol. Lot of interesting discussion on this thread. I always figured Bellomo post Prison release was a more or less just a successful businessman with his finger on the scale, with a reputation and respect he honed through ...

:ugeek: That Decologero guy was about to get released soon. What a waste… I thought he got life for that girls murder? or was that his dad? I am pretty sure he was set to be released in 2026 after doing over 20 years. If I was that close the last thing I would do is be involved in a murder. He’s got...

I actually just found a very informative video on YouTube with jimmy calandra and a former police officer discussing the Pappa’s. I don’t follow jimmy calandra but this video is pretty interesting.

I’m curious about this guy. There is very little information out there about him. I never heard of him until I read Five Families about his involvement in the windows racket with Pete savino. Some sources online say he killed up to 30 people, I don’t see how that is possible but definitely was a hit...
