wouldn't be anything wrong with that.... It's awesome that we have people like jcb and friend of Henry with there knowledge ... I have had the pleasure of making a personal friendship with both of these men. It's nice to have another thread with a little bit of different topics then New York and philly or Chicago or Canada... Of course the bad seeds even make they're way into a thread when the intelligent people know that we are talking strictly of the past. I really can't understand why these idiots can't face the truth. I'll never understand furio either .. He's not a trouble maker but I'm starting to think that he may have a learning disability... I swear to god anyone could make a chart about anything and he would believe it.....SonnyBlackstein wrote:I wonder if the 'Current Cleveland' thread will challenge 'Akron Ohio' thread for most active/longest current thread.
Who'd a thunk it.
We should do a map/chart of CL/Ohio (only) showing who was situated where, their rank, and who they answered to, from say the 40's to the end.

In fact, Jack White was the first boss convicted on RICO. I've also spoken with a few cousins of mine who got busted, close family friends who pled guilty to or were convicted back in the 1999 crackdown and their points of view are their points of view. What I will say is that the FBI doesn't know everything, but they know a lot.

He did this out of his own good will. I have a lot of respect for him and I'm very glad that we have become friends. I just wanted to give a shout out to him!

Furio, there is no family anymore--how many times do we have to go through this? Plus, some of these guys you mention have been dead for a while
maybe the agent has some information we havent seen and he was there first hand , I find it hard to Beleive Lonardo was that ignorant. he put money into the opertation. why else would they "loan" zagaria that much money. PLus Gallo had A prior conviction for selling lsd, HIs own brother was involded. I just cant see how he didnt know . I believe he never touched or saw drugs him self but he had to know ,JCB1977 wrote:Thanks for the compliment Christie but I know a few historians (and probably quite a few more) who have better knowledge of Cleveland than me.

I think he knew as well.... I do believe big ang was disgusted with the way he saw Lcn heading and did his best to destroy something he helped create. I'm sure he was disgusted that some Irishman FBI snitch gave them that much trouble, less qualified guys getting made, narcotics becoming the next big wave etc etcStroccos wrote:maybe the agent has some information we havent seen and he was there first hand , I find it hard to Beleive Lonardo was that ignorant. he put money into the opertation. why else would they "loan" zagaria that much money.

Make a group suicide ? Half all in their 70s and for sure enjoy the money that made apart,stay at the social club and remember the old glorious day when rules on Cleveland and youngstown and whacking the Nardi/Greene gang.
I gave it a shot a couple of months ago. Unfortunately Furio is what my Uncle called me: "Pratico"phatmatress777 wrote:your like talking to a dead horse...furiofromnaples wrote:Patmatress for you what must do the left made men ?
