"It is difficult to chart the history of the Philadelphia Mafia, given its frequent personnel changes caused by the violent deaths of several of its members."
Quote from 3rd Circuit opinion in United States v. Pungitore, 910 F.2d 1084 (3d Cir. 1990).
Wonderful quote and very true
He was an associate of Stanfa's Florida crew...
There are literally so many of them, its almost hard to catch them all. I'm just now reading through a 3rd Circuit opinion from 1983 involving the Chestnut Hill Lincoln Mercury Dealership staged robbery, a bunch of numbers operations and loansharking from the late 70s where govt had wiretapped Frank's Cabana Steak House, Tyrone DeNittis Talent Agency, and C. Warren Check Cashing Company. For some reaason, Carl Ippolito was found incompetent to stand trial and I havent gotten to why yet. Before the trial even started, 5 of some 12 defendants were killed -- Bruno, Phil Testa, Narducci, Sindone, and Simone; and Pat the Cat was whacked pending the appeal. Lol.
