Agreed I bring that up because that is a consistent argument that is brought up here by some posters, there have not been any indictments.

That low level stuff I brought up I knows guys that have engaged in those types of rackets under the radar for 20+ Years, I think the feds know of most of them, they just don’t care if they cannot wrap it up into an indictment that the press will give attention to they have no interest.

Unless some idiot is going beat a guy down that owes home $1,000.00 and risk going to jail for 5 years and having to pay $20k in attorneys fees.

Stagno- I have heard many times over and over that the DeCalvs were under the Gambino’s, not aure exactly what that means:

Does that mean that after the DeCalvs, no longer had their seat on the commision they were represented by the Gambino Family on important matters regarding the other families.

Does that mean that the DeCalvs, seen what happened with Philly and the Westside that they chose to cus a deal with the Gambino’s for protection to keep the Philly Famiky, Luke’s and the Westside away from them?

If they are kicking up the Gambino’s there would have to be something to kick up?
I’m sure the Gambino’s aren’t providing protection for a $500.00 Envelope, that relationship could mean they have active rackets and money coming in to protect?
Why would they pay to protect nothing?

Balzano indictment wasn’t that on mafia take down day which again had they never of been dragged into that Gambino 127 mobster indictment that racket probably would have gone under the radar.

Again they got in trouble for getting out of their lane and getting in bed with the Gambino’s.
