THE BLACK HAND FORUM

Supposedly Kevin Connelly ended his business relationship with Merlino, I wonder if he will find another way to keep doing the podcasts. I was looking at the other podcasts produced by Connolly’s ActionPark Media, and most have not been updated since at least late Jan/early Feb. So it might be some...

New article covering Joe LaForte, and thorough investigation of Par Funding: https://www.phillymag.com/news/2024/02/24/par-funding-financial-scandal/ Interesting article. Read this today and came here to see if anybody was posting about it. Any chance the Par Funding operation had more significant ...

What types of court records are publicly available online? Are actual court transcripts accessible? I saw a post one time describing what a mob defendant said in their sentencing hearing (federal trial). It wasn’t something you’d find on google, and I doubt they attended in person. I’ve always wond...

If hes not boss then the reports of genovese and bonannos telling him to stop are false. Hes a civilian. I cant fathom joey stepping down….its in his blood. For all the reasons ive already stated. He murdered ppl and his friends were murdered. Those are high stakes. You dont do a bunch of years in ...

Even tho I like hearing Merlinos commentary, it's still shocking that a sitting boss of a Cosa Nostra family is doing interviews I think it’s debatable whether he’s the “sitting boss.” My personal view is that he’s not. But either way, it’s still wild. Boss or not, it’s unprecedented for someone wi...

If other bosses are reaching out and telling members to not do business with Philly then this is proof Joey is still the boss. Why would they care about Philly as a family if Joeys out of the game and not talking LCN? WHY would Joey fight a war and do 15 years for control of Philly to go.... Im out...

I just watched a little merlino show. He's getting better. He's found his niche. Takes on all the rats makes good points to. Then sides back in to the sports aspect. Not bad. I bet he wasn't making any money off crime anymore cash in. The families should just give him there blessing. He don't care ...

I guess now that Ganster Report reports it nobody has shit to say but before nobody tells Joey what to do ???? The guy just put out a rat of the month video today and gave out picks for the super bowl…maybe he didnt get the memo or maybe he dont give a fuck I love how the podcasters are saying Joey...

Is there a general consensus on SB when it comes to his reporting on current events? I used to check his site before it had a paywall, but as others mentioned I had no way to confirm or dispute much of what I’d read.

Are they already putting content on the patreon? That was quick

He's taking the podcast behind a patreon paywall now I enjoy the episodes but not enough to pay for them. I’m not surprised they’re going this route but I am surprised how early they’re doing it. Only 15 or so episodes in. I would think it would need more time to build an audience. But maybe they h...

Most recent one I've seen of him. I'd imagine this picture is at least 10 years old though.
