Some of the wealthiest old Italian men my father and grandfather knew lived very modest, if not for there wife's these men would have lived even more modest.
I I mean tan khakis and a white tee shirts stained from whatever they enjoyed weather making wine or doing little projects .
Some did not drive or own a car of there own , of course the children were driving some very nice vehicles. I wonder why they didn't live it up?

He was a powerfull capo way back in the 80tys probaly made since the late 50tys. Even if he was made in 1974 75. He had the 70tys 80tys 90tys till he was indicted around 2005. That guy made boatloads of case. He had some big time weed pusher in his crew that fliped awhile ago. He said dom was paid. I'm surprised he allowed a drug dealer in his crew. Facing hard time for dealing I'm not surprised the guy flipped.

I’m not sure where he is exactly from but those LES guys always seemed to live in cheap rent controlled apartments where it doesn’t make sense to give it up. I think Petey Red does the same thing in LES and guy has had major rackets for decades.
1.By LES, I assume you mean Lower East Side Manhattan? (I'm just trying to get some clarity as I'm not from the US) 2. Why do the LES guys live in cheap rent controlled apartments? I suppose it's fucking expensive to live in Manhattan? 3. "it doesn’t make sense to give it up" I know this is slang but what does it mean? Sorry for my dumb questions, I just got to ask.

Listened to a Scars interview where he said he is jealous of how wise guys live today, making big legit $ and not having to worry about getting wacked . I agree with him , the life has evolved for a lot of em .
The big mob guys have always had legitimate businesses. May be it's becoming more of a thing nowadays or they are just getting really fucking good at making big legit cash? Yeah they don't have to worry about getting whacked no more.....as long as they don't piss off Madonna and Crea.

The rule is to keep it a secret and a low profile but many in the American Mob forgot this. I remember i read something a Sicilian CN member said, i think it was Giovanni Brusca, toto riinas enforcer. He said he was in US one time and he was ashamed of how their "cousins" in US were behaving, how they were all dressed fancy and talked out loud ifront of their wives and stuff, he said that would get you killed in Sicily.
Domenico Oppedisano , the main man in Ndrangheta was unknown to the police untill his arrest in 2008. He was capo crimine that means the head of Ndrangheta and nobody knew him, he was like a regular farmer. A calabrian prosecutor NIcola gratteri once said that in Calabria you have plenty of billionaires living in old houses driving some old Fiat's and looking like some poor farmers. He was referring to Ndrangheta bosses.
I just read up on him now. He drove around town in a humble three wheel van delivering produce from his orchard at the local market. Man they go to some lengths some of these guys.

No worries at all Neo
Yes Lower East Side . Sorry but hate typing on iPhone
The LES has a bunch of rent controlled apartment complex where rent is in the hundreds of dollars compared to the typical thousands.
From my understanding it’s very hard to get into and is kept in the family for decades
Knickerbocker village is the big wise buy one that used to have loads on Bonnano guys and some west side
This is all old information though so I wouldn’t take it to the bank as acccurate Thanks for the answers.

I dont no i dont think a father and respected boss in a family can be that crazy.
I don't think someone would be crazy enough to kill Dom's kid, why would Vinny say it came from Dom. Who told Vinny the order came from Dom, that is the big question.
