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.
Showed Torrio getting gunned down by Irish guys.
But I was under impression that capone set up the hit.
Anyone wanna chime in?
Very interesting.
I enjoyed GANGSTER LAND... decent movie.
A year or two ago there was a rumor they were gonna make a movie on Giancana and Accardo story. I'd love to watch that

Re: General Mob Questions
Was the Gambino capo Pasquale “Patsy” Conte in anyway related to Antonino “Nino” Conte? Nino Conte was Anastasia’s underboss for a short while. I have seen it be rumored that Patsy Conte bought his button. Surely if his relative was a powerful member then he would have gotten in off of nepotism, and wouldn’t of had to buy his way in.

felice who has very good info on the Gambino Sicilians said he paid 100k and it was well known among members.SB1825 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 21, 2020 9:43 am Was the Gambino capo Pasquale “Patsy” Conte in anyway related to Antonino “Nino” Conte?

Re: General Mob Questions
Hmm that is interesting, from what I’ve seen Felice is a very good poster so I should take that info as very reliable/ correct. That is odd that he bought his button if his father/ uncle/ cousin or whatever was high up.JohnnyS wrote: ↑Fri Aug 21, 2020 9:46 amfelice who has very good info on the Gambino Sicilians said he paid 100k and it was well known among members.SB1825 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 21, 2020 9:43 am Was the Gambino capo Pasquale “Patsy” Conte in anyway related to Antonino “Nino” Conte?

Back in the day, did the Genovese and Lucchese faction have more power than the Decalvacante family in New Jersey?

Re: General Mob Questions
Was Crazy Joe Gallo ever a captain? I've heard a lot about the "Gallo faction," but it's hard to believe that they would promote a problem child like him to that position.
