Lots of good intel though.
My question is:
When a mob family goes defunct (Kansas City, Cleveland, Milwaukee, etc.) do we have any intel of leadership planning for it or acknowledging it's "over?"
We have many confidential informants, cooperators and wire taps. Has there ever been a case of the failing mob family discussing the soon to be end of the family?
There had to be a point where they know they are not recruiting new members, the existing members are dying and old and they are down to 10 members. Chicago has to be dead in the next 10-15 years. Philly maybe has 10-15 too.
I think in most cases the family just becomes gradually less organized, with each member continuing to make money on their own—often through legitimate businesses—and occasionally partnering when it suits their needs.

Hey ‘Ryan’, stop.
Stop trying to make friends. Stop trying to be clever. Stop trying to be cute.
Stop with the ‘James Corden’ quips.
You’re new and not clever, funny or tough.
And two, I’m not English.
Oops.
Do everyone a favour and stfu and you might learn something on these boards
Don't give me your f***ing Manson lamps.

Philly has 40 - 50 members

Watching GANGSTER LAND about machine gun jack mcgurn.
Showed Torrio getting gunned down by Irish guys.

Re: General Mob Questions
Torrio was most likely shot by two of O'Bannion's lieutenants, Bugs Moran (French/Canadian) and Hymie Weiss (Polish) in retaliation for O'Bannion's murder. It's a common misconception that the Northside gang was "Irish", which plays into simplistic narratives of Irish vs Italians. The Northsiders were completely multiethnic, and had Jews, Germans, even Italians. One of their bosses was a Sicilian, Vincent Drucci.JeremyTheJew wrote: ↑Wed Aug 19, 2020 4:01 pm Watching GANGSTER LAND about machine gun jack mcgurn.

Re: General Mob Questions
Been meaning to watch this one for a while. Turturro is a great actor, but I feel like he might be a bit goofy for Giancana.aleksandrored wrote: ↑Wed Aug 19, 2020 6:12 pmThere is this film about Giancana:JeremyTheJew wrote: ↑Wed Aug 19, 2020 4:52 pmWow did not realize that the north was so multi ethnic.PolackTony wrote: ↑Wed Aug 19, 2020 4:32 pmTorrio was most likely shot by two of O'Bannion's lieutenants, Bugs Moran (French/Canadian) and Hymie Weiss (Polish) in retaliation for O'Bannion's murder.

One thing that always irritates me is that these New York actors can never fuckin do a Chicago accent when they play Chicago characters. Turturro does not sound anything like a guy from Taylor street here. Same as DeNiro playing Rosenthal in Casino or Frank Vincent playing Cullotta. Like zero effort, they don't even try. Pesci at least really put something into it and came off with a pretty decent accent. They shoulda made all these guys do voice coaching with Dennis Fuckin Farina if they wanted the parts.
