Re: FOIA Photograph Information

It's worth it to ask for better copies but they may not exist anymore given how long he has been gone. I asked for the original copies of the photographs of the 1995 Aurora, Ohio meeting between Pittsburgh and Los Angeles and was told that they had been discarded and that only the black/white xerox ...

Re: Long, excellent series on Wheeling mob

This was a great series. Read it and enjoyed it thoroughly. According to Eggy Prosdocimo and a former law enforcement officer who worked the PG mob, Hankish paid up a portion of his profits to Pecora, Porter and Zottola based on whoever his contact was at the time.

Re: New Mob Archs: The Pittsburgh Family & Youngstown w/ JCB & Paul Hodos

Just saw this, thanks everyone, it was great being on and I am glad it was entertaining and informative for an audience that is probably the best informed about the mob on this planet. It is rare to get that kind of nuanced discussion on anything, much less something as complex as OC. I have gotten ...

Re: Pittsburgh - Did Mannarino have aspirations to be Boss?

No general Pittsburgh thread, so thought I’d post this here. 1957 info reported from the Mannarinos by a CI in 1964, that suggests that Pittsburgh and Chicago controlled Miami, while Pittsburgh retained influence in Baltimore along with the Gambinos (Chicago associate Jack Gail also claimed that Ph...

Re: Pittsburgh - Did Mannarino have aspirations to be Boss?

Pittsburgh operated similar to a Camorra model of OC, with strict territory bosses. Kelly and his brother had full authority to operate in New Kensington as Bosses without interference from LaRocca. Plus, Kelly's father in law was Frank Amato Sr., so his brother in law, Frank "Sonny" Amat...
