FBI are looking to tie the anthony zizzo murder in 2006 to vena the murder of the Outfits acting underboss

one of best articles scott has written lately guys

Yeah, I liked this one.

It doesn't look good for the west side crew.

I agree I think they are all going to get busted

I think panozzo is defo fucked and vena if hollinghead testifys against him will be fucked plus everything else they have on this guy. This was me I would lam it heats on big time and who knows what they will indict him for could be some major stuff he stays he will end up like jimmy I know joey the clown went on the lam during the secrets trial and got a year but vena has a chance to run before any indictments but these guys love the life too much esp vena

Nice read and also very interesting

Disagree. At least as far as Vena is concerned. I don't think the guy has been convicted of that many crimes or done much time...he is shrewd. I believe he beat a few serious wraps which is why the feds have such a hard on for the guy.

It looks like they have been feeding SB info left and right, trying to scare the guy or stir up some chatter. Probably have bugs on his and some associates phone lines as well as La Scarola and the boys are trying to stir up some chatter because they dont have shit on him.

He probably kept a low level guy like Hollingshead at arms length and Panozzo dealt with him. Why else has he not been arrested when Hollingshead has been spilling the beans?

Also, I hope Scott didn't use a verb wrong or put a comma in the wrong place...or the nit pickers that don't care for him are going to be all over him and call the entire article shit because he fucked up punctuation or something stupid lmao

Totally agree with you Blackjack, they want him, and are hoping to scare them into fucking up. Which it has worked before. I think Albie is pretty well insulated, but RICO is a mother fucker.

Yeah he is one of the smarter guys still on the streets. Panozzo is a street guy and probably wont flip on him...but if they can prove a conspiracy another way that he was in on any of his crimes they are going to nail him.

Just found this trying to find stuff on his criminal history...


The 66-year old Vena has an extensive criminal record. In the 1990s, he beat a murder rap, being acquitted at trial for the November 1992 Chicago gangland slaying of Sam Taglia, an Outfit associate and drug dealer.

Taglia, last seen alive leaving his home with Vena, had raged out of control with addiction and disobedience and was discovered in the trunk of his car in Melrose Park, shot twice in the back of the head, his throat slit ear-to-ear. As Cook County police converged on him outside his suburban residence to arrest him for Taglia’s killing, Vena tried to run over the arresting cops with his car

hahaha@trying to run the cops over...I can just picture it now

He did that then beat the murder...yeah the feds want him BAD i am sure

That's another reason I don't think the G has anything on him, there would be bodies dropping. They say dynamite comes in small packages, well this one has a short fuse.

Ok, so make up your mind.

Yeah. Because the best way to avoid federal attention is to commit murders.

They don't have anything on him but are trying to tie him into a conspiracy any way they can...they would love to nail him...how does that differ from anything I said?

Reading comprehension obviously isn't your strong suit. So I am going to stop corresponding with you, since you seem to be a little bit on the slow side.

Blackjack, relax. I'm not out to get you. I can read just fine. Why do you like to escalate things?

I said things don't look good. You disagreed. And then in the quote I posted, you said if they can prove a conspiracy, they'll nail him.

So take it easy man. I'm not the bad guy. I just want to discuss the mafia, like you, man.

If he knew the hammer was coming down, he wouldn't be trying to avoid federal attention. He would be taking out witnesses for the prosecution in a murder case(Zizzo). So it may be the best way to avoid a life sentence. But hey what do I know your the expert.

I never said I was... I just disagree.

It can take years to build a case, especially a murder case. No sense in rushing things. Who knows who else they are trying to tie up in this? Sarno, maybe even DiFronzo.

I wouldn't jump the gun here guys. Not to be a dick and I don't doubt SB's sources necessarily, but if the feds were trying to build a huge indictment on the GAC do you really think they'd be leaking info on it to a mob watcher/mob blogger? Sounds like they may be tickling the wire a bit.

Yes there is a good chance they are leaking it.

It's not the first time there has a lot of times where the press have found out there could be an indictment before it has happened

I remember clearly before ligambi was indicted in 2011 that geogre antatsia kept saying an indictment is on the way.

Imterresting that he calls the Northside crew "now defunct."

North Side has been defunct for years. GAC and EP have dominion over that area now.

since been gone since late 90s/early 2000s

A lot of those north side guys went into Grand Avenue including Albie. Bobby Dominic was another northside guy who went to Grand Avenue.

There must be a source leaking info directly to him. Maybe the wife ? I wouldn't be surprised.

The feds still listed the Northside crew (along with Grand Ave, Melrose Park, and 26th St) as recently as 2007.

I should add that I'm referring to the Elmwood Park Crew and not the Northside Crew once run by Vince Solano. If thats what Scott was referring to, that would make sense.

The wife wouldn't have info on the investigation itself.

Okay, yeah, then we are all on the same page.

I'm sure she wouldn't know shit !

Think people think...... Hahahahha
