Tough Tony

What's going on?

I was over there at Parkside the other day, the bread with the ham is delicious but anyway in walks in the man. I was wondering how active he still is with the politics and all that there or because that restaurant has become an establishment he does't get involved anymore and maybe just kicks upstairs?

I always get a kick out of when you walk in there and there's a picture of him smiling with the borough president. It's truly a throwback.

I knew a kid who had a sitdown with tony and QD at parkside ive been there too. The beef was over this retarded rich kid from bayside queens who i guess slept with a new jersey housewife but that woman was the mistress or something of an associate trying to get made or was made..I guess QD didnt say anything obviously and that tony just lectured the shit out of him.

He is all but retired except for consulation and mediator stuff i believe

It appears Anthony Romanello took over that crew.

Tony has been pretty much legit for quite some time now

For years, BJ. And to put it into the proper perspective, Rom (his successor) has pretty much packed it in himself now, too. Especially since the last indictment.

A Bronx kid (who lives out east now) is picking up a lot of responsibility in that crew. I was just talking about him the other day. He's one of the two guys that just got his button and got put with the guy from Locust Point. But he's also VERY close to Baby Shades. Good earner, not too violent, went to college for a little bit. Universally liked.

I figured Romanello would be, unfortunately I have no idea who you are referring to as picking up the slack though. lol

Sounds like another solid Genovese recruit though

Plus he kind of lucked out with his plea and the witness having a stroke

Speaking of that neighborhood, there was a massive coke bust at an Italian restaurant right across the street where they were selling right out of the store, dumb schmucks but you would think that since it's literally a stone's throw from Parkside they wouldn't want it going on.

rom and vic colletti are the top guys left after tony stepped down. one is a bookie one is a shylock. They used to be tonys #2 & 3. I d be willing to bet both of them are worth millions legitimately

So im a lil confused is it still Romanello$ crew or is that new guy PB was talking aboug the skipper?

It was an Ndrangheta coke ring. I don't think they were selling the coke from there, I believe the restuarant was used as a front to smuggle and stash it.

And The Daily News stuck Tough Tony's name in their article in an attemp to associate him with this, simply for the fact that he owns a neighboring restaurant. I don't buy it, since it seems he's long retired. However, several other articles claim the ring was at least partially financed by the WS.

I know for a fact they were pushing it right from over there, didn't know about that they was zips tho.

It was Ndrangheta, not Camorra. And the Parkside crew had nothing to do with that nonense:

Without a doubt. They're both huge landholders, book and shy aside.

You remember when Joe D's kid got knocked down last year? Well, the guy who knocked him down just got two good kids their patches. They're both in their 40's, easy on the violence, and pretty smart. One of them lives in Beechhurst now, and he's the kid I'm talking about who's slowly but surely making a name for himself in that crew. You'll know who I mean soon enough, these fucking things always get out. But I'd be shocked if that crew isn't his five years from now (the guys left are all wealthy geriatrics and this kid's an earner. And so's the other kid that just got straightened out).

PB , hope your well sent u a private message last week pal , tried to email u a couple of times also , think u said u changed your email address so I prob have the wrong one

I've been to Parkside too, and all I cans say is try the baked clams

you mean the guy with all the brothers? I can see that, I think he just got out. they tried to throw the book at him and he stood up. I hear al cuomos a skip now. used to be in dogs crew then punchys... there was some gossip online about gaspipes illegitimate son being the new court st skipper but who knows lol. interesting, I bet we find out for sure in 5-10 years when theyre all dead

BEST fucking line ever .

Get my email from your cousin. I won't send it through this pm.

I will send him your email pizza.. glad to have skinny back...he fell off the radar for a long time

its good to be back guys. I'll try and drop by every now and then. Had a lot more free time in the past month, its been great

Translation: That pretty southern girl dumped your skinny ass .

im afraid not lol. just out of school

Just breaking them, kid. I've had a stressful winter. My Dad's been sick and some other stuff. I'll catch up with you offsite in a few days .

skinny im going to have to come visit soon.. we can hit magic city in Atlanta.. big booty bitches

anyone know how big this crew is? i was under the (wrongful) impression it was more or less dissolved with the "younger" guys going to other crews as Federici and Romanello have both taken massive steps back. I didnt even know the crew was still around.
