Two things by way of response. Just to keep the record straight.

First, what I took exception to was you saying you and others in South Philly knew Merlino was the boss only after that news was released by law enforcement. As far as I'm aware, you never made any peep of that prior to that info coming out. But after it did, you were like, "Yeah, we knew that all along." Of course, in all honestly, even if you had mentioned it before, I would have likely just given you credit for guessing right.

Second, I've said that most bookmaking operations in the Northeast - especially the big ones - are mob-connected in some way. At least judging by the cases.

Here's a newspaper article about FS. This one has a picture of Mitch Mars. Mars talks about the case and also mentions the 28 mm and 100 associates.

Probably have to cut and paste. These things can be tricky.

SC what's the deal with the double-standard? You have one guy (Ivy aka Jared) pissing everyone off and talking all this sandbox bullshit. The guys been kicked out of multiple forums already and you continue to allow him to create one sandbox fight after another on every thread about every family.

I see one common denominator here. You gonna ban me if I respond to the bullshit he wrote about me while I was away?

No, I'll just ban you for arguing a moderator's decision in public. Grow the fuck up and get over it. Learn to get along or don't post here.

except that he doesn't piss everyone off, only a small group of folks who always seem to have something in common. people are always going to have different opinions, but people like you for some bizzare reason equate that with personal attacks and respond with these lame attempts at character assasination because in your mind you think that somehow gives you a leg up in the debate. it's deflection pure and simple, the tactic most often used by the intellectually lazy.

Two quick facts just to keep the record straight:

First, my disagreement has been mainly with a handful of posters who, not coincidentally, are from Chicago. That isn't "everyone."

Second, I've been banned from one forum. Not "multiple" ones.

Now moving on...

Seconded.

lol this guy "Five Felonies" what a tough online monicker...better than your other Pogo the Clown BS though. You only come on these Chicago threads to stick up for Jared...why is that? You literally have not contributed one piece of info on the Outfit ever on this forum.

You two want to make something public?

OK. I am REALLY sick and tired of all this Chicago bullshit. All this feeling-that-they-have-something-to-prove bullshit. You're all put on notice that anyone fueling this crap will be banned from the boards.

YOU'VE BEEN WARNED.

Link to article , where FBI says a month prior to trying unsuccessfully to deny carperelli bail, that carperelli under orders from "Mikey g" solly delaurentis luitenant ordered caparelli to "break the heads and legs of a gambler " and that he reguraly sold cocaine and shook people down for the Cicero mob crew. Also taped telling a crew member to "stay low key, let them think we're dead, that way they say good job and high five and the Feds go home"

Is it a coincidence that of the 4 highest paid union officials in the country that 3 of them are sons of Chicago made guys and the other is a genovese family asociate Harold daggett ?

Also John Matassa jr heads a small transit union local, is a Chicago capo and is also the brother in law of CURRENT genovese capo Danny pagano , who has connections in the labor unions as well and was big with the gas , with the Russians
