Intro Post & Question About Current Mafia in NJ

Hey everyone my name is Pat.

I am very interested in the mafia and its operations and history.

I love the Sopranos, Mafia Movies, and shows on the mob (history channel specials & biography mob documentaries.

I read a lot of the info on this website in this section and the Sopranos section and it was very interesting and I learned a lot! (One thing that really stands out is the possibility that christopher might have been a rat in the sopranos! I have watched the sopranos multiple times and never noticed that possibility!)

But anyway.. I was wondering what the informed members here think about the current mob activity, membership, which crime families and areas in NJ where the mafia are currently active?

Thanks guys!

Welcome Homers!

There has been a lot of recent discussion about the current state of the mob, and the NJ mob, right here on this board. All you have to do is scroll down. If you can't find exactly what you want, use the "search" function.

Turnbull... Thanks bud! I think I saw some of that. I will try to use the search function now. Sorry I didn't mean to be a pain...this is only the 3rd or 4th message board I have ever joined and the other ones search function never worked...

Nickyscarfo- Thanks bud. I will check that out.

And yes I am from North New Jersey..a little town called Pompton Plains (It is in Morris County and near Wayne and Paterson)

Nickyscarfo- This is great! Thanks bud! This one is very similar to the book I read "Made Men" but the user ("OnlineMobMovies")has a ton of mob movies on youtube that I am going to watch.
