Re: Greek Mob in Philly and New York
There’s a popular dice game in the Greek community called Barbooth or Barbudi (something like that) that all these private clubs in Greek neighborhoods offer to the local Greek community. I am not too familiar with it as I am not Greek or hang out in Greek neighborhoods. Some are run or connected to LCN. I wish I knew how to play it, I am always looking for new vices...

With a house advantage of a full 5 pct either way, I'd keep away from it, unless I was bankrolling it.

Re: Greek Mob in Philly and New York
It would of been the greek guys in that gang who were shaking down greek gambling clubs.Its very hard to go into a differant ethnic neighborhood and start extorting people.Even if a certain ethnic group doesnt have protection and its a mom and pop operation all they have to do is shut down that specicfic gambling adress and open up somewhere else.If the outsiders dont have an incide person in a specific neighborhood you cant shake anyone down because how will you know whats going on?With the italians it would of been colletti who was going into the Italian clubs shaking people downBruno187 wrote: ↑Thu Jul 30, 2020 10:35 amThat's not the case at all. Rudaj's guys were all Montenegrin, Albanian, Yugoslav....whatever they happen to be calling themselves that week. They shook down Greek clubs in Queens, and even Italian ones in the Bronx.bluehouse wrote: ↑Wed Jul 29, 2020 9:26 pm the Rudaj organization had more Greeks in it than Albanians so im thinking that was the new generation of greeks in oc.I think they called it the Rudaj because it fit the media narrative of Albanians being the new breed in NY crime even though Coletti an Italian was the real leader.John Alite said he is friends with Spiro Valentzas son and he is going to bring him on the podcast,so hopefully he does it will be interesting to see a different ethnic crime gang talking about their experiences
Re: Greek Mob in Philly and New York
No. They went truly as a "mob"...no pun intended. The only Italians involved in the thing of any consequence were DePietro and Collotti. There were no Greeks involved. Albanians, Yugos, Montenegrins, Kosovars. I am from Arthur Avenue and 187th Street and was around there/in the mix when this was going down. With all due respect, you're wrong.

Re: Greek Mob in Philly and New York
He meant that Geas himself is Greek not that he's an associate of the 'Greek mob', although I'm pretty sure we all read it the same way as you did the first time.Amershire_Ed wrote: ↑Thu Jul 30, 2020 2:27 pmHe was a Genovese associate. He was part of their Springfield branch.

All roads lead to New York.
Re: Greek Mob in Philly and New York
Then of course you had fairly significant Greek gangsters involved in Boston, L.A. and other places as well over the years. Some in Barboza's crew.
Re: Greek Mob in Philly and New York
I didn't say there were no Greeks in the indictment. These Greeks were from Astoria and named as part of the gambling indictment involving the Queens clubs that Rudaj/Collotti took over. They were in no way involved in the administration or running of this group and was based in the Bronx and Westchester.
Re: Greek Mob in Philly and New York
Greeks went legit and opened diners ! lol There were some Greek diner owners that were on the hook a NJ Genovese crew a few yrs back. I think it was the old man in seaside parks Hoboken crew if I am not mistaken.

Re: Greek Mob in Philly and New York
Little Larry Dentico lives in Seaside Park , house is in his sons name. Little Larry has gotta be close to 100 if he’s even still alive at this point. I have been hitting the beach in Seaside Park a lot this summer.
Yeah the Greeks own every single diner here in Jersey. I always wondered how that happened?

despite newspapers called it albanian mob it was basically a multietnich gang with some albanian member, typical cherrypicked articlesbluehouse wrote: ↑Sat Aug 01, 2020 5:18 pmNardino Colotti (Leonardo, Lenny), age 42, lives in Bronx, NY - Italian with ties to the late Gambino soldier Skinny Phil LoscalzoBruno187 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 01, 2020 9:48 am No. They went truly as a "mob"...no pun intended.
