On Wednesday May 5th, ButtonGuys will be releasing an FBI-style 'membership' chart for the Northeastern PA/Binghamton NY Family of Cosa Nostra. More commonly known as the Russ Bufalino Family.

This chart will be a full and concise (true) view of their inducted membership, from approximately 1900 to the early 1990s, when the borgata evaporated into oblivion. In addition to those men who were actually 'made' into the borgata, I list a ton more hoodlums who were their top 'associates' ....It'll be an eye opener I assure you!

The chart will be a precursor of sorts for the next ButtonGuys expose we will be releasing on Sunday May 9th, titled "Business Infiltration Rackets of the Bufalino Family"

This storyline was painstakingly researched by me over the course of several months. It exposes many of the varied businesses and wide swath of industries that this particular Mafia family was able to infiltrate and insert themselves into, and how they became respected and recognized industry wide leaders of those same industries.

It is a breathtaking look at how one very ingenious group of mafiosi expanded into legitimate business, allowing them to become powerful beyond their wildest dreams!

A third very special 'expose' will be forthcoming shortly after these two, sometime in May. My long promised "Exclusive" on the underworld mosaic of Upstate New York. An underworld mosaic that NOBODY thus far has ever written about, or for that matter, has ever even known about........Until now!

A preliminary story title is "The Empire State Mob...The Mafia of Upstate NY"

So stay turned folks! Cause like the man once said, "You Ain't Seen Nuttin Yet!"

Besides what I've just written above, I thought I'd release a bit more about coming attractions to whet your whistles.

Shortly after those releases, Button Guys of The New York Mafia has a lot more coming your way.
-
1) Mafia Moon over Miami - Part II (this will be a continuation from part I)
2) The history, formation, and operations, of the Angelo Bruno Family of Philadelphia. (a full historical view)

And 3, LOL, thats gonna be a blockbuster in and of itself. I have just started working on a multi-part series on the early development, and ultimately Cosa Nostra's near total dominance over Long Island's underworld. All of it. Each separate installment focuses on one particular segment of the Mafia's multipoint attack to takeover the island.

I intend for it to be such an intricate and deep probe that it's impossible for me to condense it into only one part. Therefore I'm not sure where I'm going with this as of yet. But one thing I can tell you all for certain, it's gonna be a novel undertaking. Similar to my Upstate expose, except that because of the sheer density of racketeers and rackets downstate NY, it may be an 8 to 10 part series.... and a deep probe for sure!

You'd gonna love it! .......And thats a promise!!

I may throw out a 'small teaser' at some point to read ok guys

terrific! sounds good!!

WOW...

Thank YOU, for the time you put into all this.

Thanks BH.

It looks like we may be posting "The Underworld Landscape of Upstate NY" later today. It's complete! Just a few minor adjustments and I'm gonna release for you guys. Its been over 6 weeks and it's ripe for reading. LOL

Hopefully this afternoon I'll put it up.

After all the hype I've printed, I hope the expose doesn't let you down. It's 4 pages long. (and I kept out over 30 pics and news article to boot). Trimmed it down cause it was a monster

Get ready.... cause its coming in the next few minutes

Great stuff!!!
