All true. You boys are both bright and very well versed on the inner workings of the financial world. Kudos on that.

But if Joe Bonanno doesn't write that egotistical whitewash pile of horseshit book, Rudy Giuliani doesn't read it, the Commission Case never happens, and RICO probably goes the way of the jaywalking ticket.


Pizza, I have a different take on that scenario.

If Joe Bonanno doesn't write the book, Giuliani doesn't step in to take over Walter Mack's operation to suck up the credit, then instead of a Commission case where only the top guys plus Whack Whack go down, instead Walter Mack cleans out Ozone Park, Bensonhurst, and where ever wiseguys thrive becomes wiped out like Detroit. Ghost town.

In other words, Giuliani protected the mob.


interesting take alfa, I see your point, the top guys go down but, the organization is still active, and well.

mack goes after the source, and busts it all up.

something else if that would have happened to the top guys in Chicago , or new Orleans, Giuliani would have been dead.
