Thanks for the info guys. I skeptical of the existence of the Westies in this day and age, but do think there are Irish racketeers out there. Nicky, could the Irish capo affiliated with the Genoveses you mention be one of the union bigs or contractors mentioned in this article below? http://www.villagevoice.com/2010-08-04/columns/nyc-union-carpenter-michael-forde/

I remember someone on here saying there was a Irish capo (not really one, but just as much power) in the Genovese. Don't know if it's BS or true. That was nothing but BS. Nicky I've also heard that Irish thugs that are quick on their feet are aligning themselves with the ivy-league
Random Poster:"I'm sorry I didn't go to an Ivy-league school like you"
"Ah I actually I didn't. It's a nickname the feds gave the Genovese Family."

I remember someone on here saying there was a Irish capo (not really one, but just as much power) in the Genovese. Don't know if it's BS or true. The "character" you're thinking of is Bradford "the German" Cox. He was claimed by a handful of people to be a mostly legitimate business guy from Philly, who led some kinda org. crime crew down there. With some kinda link to the Genovese forming during this period. And recently moved up to NYC to pursue business with the LCN up there. He's a real guy who can be found. He exists as a person. But as a crime figure I have extreme doubts, as would anyone with a logical mind and knowledge of org. crime. Several people mention him in the Philly Irish Mob thread I started here.

I remember reading that thread, now that you mention it. I am going to try and find out more about this guy see what's real and what's crap. Please do. I'd like to know if you find anything interesting. If it was just one source talking about the guy, I'd be inclined to simply write him off as another Paulie "Stripes" DeMarco. But he's mentioned in several places by several different persons across the 'net. Not to mention being a living person and all. No, not for sure. But there isn't really any direct evidence to say otherwise. Most of the claims are anecdotal accounts or other such direct statements. If he is a crime figure of some sort and is connected to the Genovese. I wouldn't be eager to believe some of the more audacious claims people have made. Apparantly he seems to spent his life divided between NYC, Philly, and Florida. If I had to guess, provided that his connections are for real, I'd suppose he's a low=profile guy whom operates some kinda front business or something. Involved in the marginal and mostly legal enterprises that have some link with the Genovese. Just a stab int he dark, so take it with a grain of salt. Ain't the Gospel. Also this is interesting: https://profiles.google.com/bradfordschundler1/aboutObv. the guys appears pretty legitimate so: If by circumstance is these are just rumours that he is involved in criminal dealings. Who started it I wonder..... And for what purposes? Smear campaign?
