I feel bad for those clowns who are tying to get their shy running right lol. You might as well invest in crypto like a schmuck


The Gambinos and Bonannos are still connections with the Sicily.

The today mobsters are criminals with the italian surname that doesn't speak italian,swore an oath knowing that are only words.The old timers have seen hunger in the homeland or in the old hoods and joint the mafia for the money but also because believe in Cosa Nostra.
The mob doesn't kill anymore because the case of Anthony Nicodemo that was the driver in Gino DiPietro murder and accepted the 25 years sentence,is the exception is not the rule.
The mob doesn't sell drugs like the old times? Jack DiNorscio or Ernie Abbamonte that passed most of his life in prison are (again) exceptions.
And so on.
The Italians left the little italies and integrated, which did not happen with the ghettos of blacks and latinos.

Cases like John Pappa the son of Gerard a genovese wiseguy killed by his mob family,tried to get made in the Colombos but get life for 4 murders at age of 24,he tried to flip on who ordered the murders? No,take his sentences and for sure would be out as old man.
