Purple Gang NYC

Post by Stopflexing »

I recently became interested in learning about the Purple Gang. I never realized that the Purple Gang was active up until recently. What was their story? Were most members Italian? Were they an independent gang that was connected to some some of the five families? I know Meldish was the last leader but who did he take ofer from and what’s the history?

I have the audio book and its great. So many big names came up with the purple gang. Its nice to read something that hasnt been written about a million times too.
If nobody sees it, it didn't happen.

He came up in some research, but he was dead before the Purples were active.

Dont know. I don't set the price. That's 100% the publisher.
