Any Questions for Chicago Frank Calabrese Jr.?

Post by FriendofFamily »

At one time some of you were going to take a trip or tour with him in Chicago.

So it is possible that I can arrange to meet with him and ask him some questions that some of you have on here.

So if you have some questions that you want asked just let me know and I will compile a list.

Always a different angle from the guys involved than what the books and documentaries say. I'm sure his Dad heard different things. Wondering what his Dad believed to be the real reason behind the hit.

1). Was Joe Ferriola ever the Top Boss of the Outfit, even for a short while, before he became sick?
2). What was the exact power relationship between Accardo, Auippa & Cerone?
3). Were his Father & his Uncle Nick 50/50 partners?
4). Did Angelo LaPietra "loan" money to his Father & Uncle at a low interest rate so they could put it out on the street?

Did his dad ever want to propose him for membership? How close was he to that before he decided he wanted out? Or was he going to be a lifetime associate?

I figured his dad would want him made at some point to keep him from being stepped on by other members.

What’s the current status of the Outfit today in 2020? Are they still very active and are they a much smaller group than before the Family Secrets trial?

Roemer, The F.B.I. Agent, said Ferriola was Boss for a short while so I would like to hear what Frank Sr. thinks about it & why the F.B.I had that idea?
Is that okay with you? Maybe next time I'll ask you for your approval of any of my questions before I submit them. :roll:

Roemer also said he had an informant at the meeting where Ferriola was elevated to Boss by Accardo.

It's a new morning in America... fresh, vital. The old cynicism is gone. We have faith in our leaders. We're optimistic as to what becomes of it all. It really boils down to our ability to accept. We don't need pessimism. There are no limits.

Did his father ever talk about other US mafia families outside of Chicago and/or ever talk about knowing/meeting members from other families?

Great question. Anything he knows about Chicago's interaction with NYC would be interesting.

Roemer also said that Al Pilotto was there but he was in prison at the time.
