Great chain - I actually didn't understand why Netflix would focus on Buffalino but the more I read about him, the more he appears to be the glue that kept the largest labor union scams going.

Did Bufalino ever have any major beef with upstate NY/Buffalo guys? I remember an old Buffalo poster from the Real Deal days saying something along those lines.

HI and were Russell Bufalino and Frank Sheeran close friends? as this article https://www.newspapers.com/article/the- ... 124783960/ mentions that Bufalino gave Sheeran permission for a hit. Also is the book on Frank Sheeran I heard that you paint houses worth reading?

i loved it but then the guys on here said it was bs. its interesting to learn about how angelo bruno and russell bufalino interact and intersect.

One thing i don't get is how could angelo bruno have supposedly this huge portfolio and left his daughter a broke middle aged woman. same w gotti.
what the fuck do some of these bosses do w their money. matty the horse left his son 115M in commercial real estate. Gigante Carlo Gambino Castellano.

neither did i until i saw a documentary and the daughter looked like she was homeless.

Maybe bufalino's influence has been exxaggerated? just asking. gambino shouldve whacked him and taken over the family up there and the garment business.

That book by Matt Birkbeck looks pretty interesting. Big Billy had a wide reach. Looking forward to reading it.

I need to find it but when the Irishman came out, some reporter came across a seating chart for this fundraiser dinner event that was being held in Delaware in the mid 70s. Sheeran and Bufalino were seated at the same table. Fun fact: Joe Biden was also at said event.

She was married to a real estate millionaire who died young and didn’t leave her much, mostly their kids. There was an article written years back that said she inherited like half a million and the house from her parents. Which is nice but not wealth. Plus the article said she supported her adult age son who hadn’t worked in over a decade. When the city’s historical society was considering her dads house as a landmark the interview she gave about it seemed like her main concern was would it reduce the property tax.

The looks like it could be pretty damn good. D'Elia should have some interesting stories to tell.
