Thats right and in fact, some Outfit guys stated that their organization allegedly never had monopoly over some of the rackets, possibly except for the vending machine racket, the local unions and the street tax. I also agree regarding the Outfit being "equal opportunity employer" since they worked with everyone. Even other bosses like Angelo Bruno stated something similar regarding Giancana and the Outfit. Even the non-Italians had their own position on the Outfits ruling panels and their leader or representative was usually elected by the Italian boss and underboss, followed by other powerful capos. This situation also made some of their elders allegedly worried regarding the inside info of the internal Cosa Nostra stuff, meaning they were worried on whether guys like Gus Alex knew too much about it. Thats why later Alex was placed next to Accardo and Aiuppa, because he was too important for the organization to be pushed out.

So, ill say it again, theres 99% chances that Capone first went through traditional ceremony but as time passed by, the traditional aka Sicilian influence allegedly started to fade away to an extent (like it was mentioned in some of the fbi clips that I already posted) because of the numerous Mainlander leaders and again, as I already said in one of my previous posts, it depends on the time period and also on the boss who ruled the Outfit, meaning whether he was traditional or not.



They still had a board of directors also known as "consiglio". I personally believe that the Outfit returned to its old traditional way, sometime during the early or mid 70s, or after the deaths of the "old school" leaders like Ricca and LaPorte. In fact, I believe that it was Accardo who brought back the traditional way, especially when the books were re-opened in 76/77. Later or during the 80s, we already have info that the Outfit was making people the "old way". As for the 90s, after all the trouble that occurred, we can only speculate on what really went down.

Again, dont forget that when Capone entered Cosa Nostra, he became even more powerful by receiving interests in and out of the country and in fact, by the 1960s the Outfit was present all around the world and none of the other crime families ever achieved that.

Theres also one completely unconfirmed story that Capone allegedly used Orthodox Bible, which was allegedly given to him by his Greek associates, while inducting new members but as I already said it is either a "myth" or "legend".

I think most people don't realize that Uomini d'onore run Italy and the Octopus tentacles reach all over Europe.
I mean governments level.

That judge that scored the win for Fury should never judge another single boxing match ever!

Yep Vito I'll eat my words about the Iacono hit, I figured there was no way it was a "mafia hit" but it damn sure seems to be what that was now. Guess we'll see Anthony Gallo in the headlines soon too. Just seems like when the Rizzuto's clear out a set of enemies, a new set steps up to raise hell. Just when we figured Desjardins would be the next to fall Del Balso figures he had the clout to kill Leonardo and take over with the help of the Angels who really stabbed Leo in the back and ended up with shit all over their face.

And holy shit what a stupid knucklehead that Del Balso was. He had the perfect opportunity to hit Leo and he picked those two and was dumb enough to rent the fuckin Porsche himself. Talk about being an idiot!

More good stuff from North of the border where the killing will continue....

I would like to see Vince Vaughn play a dark role to be honest

Two very violent Jewish gangsters.

Zelensky – Dictator for Life – Investors Get Out – Ukraine Will No Longer Exist after 2027

Buffalo. He has connections to the Bonannos through Thomas Marotta, even after he died. The Colombos, Canada someone from Toronto. Angelo Amico had him on record He did have meetings with Genovese associates who were on record with Carmine Russo, but by the early 2010s, after 2011 not a peep about that. Contact was made by a Russo in Rochester. My best guess is whatever they were discussing or doing died on the vine with Carmine Russo death in 2011. Last reported to be on record with "The Hop" Joe Rossi in 2015. No idea if he is made, but he is connected and does business with other families.

Here's one even older article regarding Daddano from 1944, and also regarding John "Donkey Ears" Wolek. Besides Daddano, Wolek was also very close associate and close friend of "Teets" Battaglia.

Thanks @H. I had to give my "two cents" because some people are abviously forgetting many important stuff and we are always here to remind them.

BACK TO BLACK

Marisa Abela stars as troubled musician Amy Winehouse. From the jump, the audience is introduced to Amy's no nonsense personality. She tells you what she thinks and it's your problem on how to deal with it. Before long she meets the love of her life Blake (Jack O'Connell), whom a lot of her music was based upon. As with any musical biopic, Amy deals with fame, fortune, and addiction (the likes of which unfortunately got the better of her). I never listened to Amy's music before seeing this film (and truth be told, I didn't know much about her either other than the fact that she was the butt end of jokes back in the day). Abela did a fantastic job in her portrayal of the artist as I felt as I didn't know the real Amy, I just might through her performance. I've heard there are many people to blame for Amy's untimely death (Amy herself, her father, and Blake) and the film doesn't blame anyone per se but rather lays out the different influences in her life. Unfortunately, Amy was taken from us too soon as so many other great musicians. For me, this was a wonderful and breakout performance from Abela and I hope to see her work again soon. An average film that will probably be forgotten about soon but will stick with me a little while longer. 6/10
