Anyone know if that is Jerry Catena to the immediate right of Zwillman? I've seen a similar b/w photo of Zwillman and Catena, the future Genovese leader. He was one of Longy's lieutenants around this time.

Re: Rare photos - 12/11/11 02:29 PM

Morello was the boss of bosses at the time when he was sent to prison in 1910. When he was released in 1920, he found his gang reduced to a very few members. Most of them had been killed or had joined other Mafia groups.
Morello did also find himself being condemned to death by the new boss of bosses, Tata D´Aquila for some reason unkown.
Together with a few loyal followers, he joined the Joe Masseria group which of course later became the Genovese Crime Family.

Yes I would advise everyone on here to read "the first family" which is extremely detailed account of the Morello gang, well researched and a must if your an enthusiast.

Judging by his hair color, it must have been the late 1940s or early '50s, and that would make it in Italy.

The cleveland mob pictures isn't all cleveland mob guys, joe profaci, joe magliocco and vincent Mangano are pictured there. They got arrested when they went there for a meeting, but are not part of the cleveland mob obviously.

Those clothes look straight from the 90's. That and we are talking about Italian/Italian-American criminals. Race is a more discussed thing here in the States, especially in the politically correct, pre-9/11 1990's

I thought Cali was the guy on the far left, the guy in the middle being insignificant to our discussion and Nicchi being the young guy on the far right, closest to the camera.

Off the top of my head I knew Cali was born sometime in the late 50's, maybe '61-'63 and Nicchi was definitely born sometime after 1980

At the time of this picture (2003), Nicchi and Mandala were visiting NY from Italy. You may not know the middle guy (Nicola Mandala), but he was not insignificant.

Tommaso Buscetta (Palermo, July 13, 1928- New York, April 2, 2000) was one of the first members of the Sicilian Mafia that broke the code of silence and helped authorities prosecute hundreds of Mafia members both in Italy and the U.S. In return for his many testimonies he was allowed to live in the U.S. and was placed in the Witness Protection Program. He died of cancer in 2000.



In 1909, Giuseppe Calicchio, an immigrant from Naples, began work for the Morello gang in Highland, New York as a printer and engraver of counterfeit Canadian and US currency. In 1910, the printing plant was raided and Calicchio along with his boss Giuseppe Morello and 12 other gang members were arrested. Calicchio received 17 years hard labor and a $600 fine, but was released in 1915.



In 1908, Antonio Cecala was a counterfeiter working for Giuseppe Morello. His career was short lived after he was convicted in 1909 of conterfeiting and sentenced to 15 years and a $1,000 fine.



Phillip Leonetti (b. March 27, 1953) seemed to pattern his life after his uncle, Philadelphia crime family boss Nicodemo Scarfo. In the 1980s, Leonetti was moving through the family crime ranks as a mob hitman, capo and then underboss to Scarfo.
After receiving a 55-year prison sentence in 1988 on murder and racketeering charges, Leonetti decided to work with the federal government as an informant. His testimony resulted in the convictions of high-ranking mobsters including John Gotti. In return for his cooperation he was released from prison after serving only five years.

Tony Salerno....him with that damn cane. You had to see him in the courtroom during the commission trial. He was really playing up the 'I'm an invalid' role. Thinking back on it today, he reminds me now of Uncle Leo in Seinfeld: "I'm an old man, I don't know what I'm doing". grin

Sorry, my Klan membership had been revoked and I was just lookin' to hate.

Remember that episode of The Sopranos where Chrissy, Sil, and Tony are sittin' down in a fancy lobby and Sil and Tony ask where's Chrissy been; and Christopher replies, "...my new goomah...she's black...I didn't want Paulie bustin' my balls, you know how he is with his race shit..."

To which Tony and Sil chuckle their fat guts into hilarity. That picture reminded me of that. Hollywood never turns down an opportunity to show strife between Italian-Americans and blacks.

He aint made smile hes a old guy. Anyway, i saw him in a couple of more pictures standing with Jackir Nose.

In lack of better things to do (I should get a life I guess...), I managed to identify three of the guys in the lineup.
2nd from left is Benny "Bugsy" Siegel, 6th from left is Louis Kravitz (a narcotics peddler) and 8th from left is James Feraco (a later member of the Mangano Family, murdered in 1940 or 1941.)
However, this gang doesn´t seem to be what we know today as "Murder Inc". The picture seems to have been taken in or around mid 1920´s. Note how young Siegel looks. "Murder Inc" was active in the 1930´s and if I´m not mistaken, Siegel was never arrested with members of the "Murder Inc" gang. I think that this is actually members of the "Meyer and Bug" gang, headed by Meyer Lansky and Benny Siegel.
I could be wrong though....

Just found out...
1st from left is Joseph Rosen (an actual "Murder Inc" murder victim in 1936),
3rd from left is Harry Teitelbaum.
4th from left is Louis Buckhous (with the eye patch) and
5th from left is Harry "Big Greenie" Greenberg, murdered in 1939.

The picture of Gotti with the "double chin" isn't from his last arrest. His last arrest was at the Ravenite in December of 1990. I think that picture is from earlier in the year, when he was on trial for the O'Connor shooting.

I mean the picture with Junior behind him. It can't be his last arrest because he was denied bail in that case, and the picture of him in the suit being trailed by Junior is clearly a residential shot taken in Queens.

I really don´t know. But no historical fact (what I know of) suggests that Terranova had a glass eye.

DeNiro´s best performances as an actor came as a mafiaguy. I´m sure that he met a few wiseguys over the years. Many of them seems to admire DeNiro for his work. Which is fully understandable if you ask me. But, let us not draw hasty conclusions about DeNiro´s mob ties.
This picture was taken in connection with DeNiro prepering himself for his role in "Analyze This". Well, that´s the official story anyway.

For sure, I mean. The mob wasn't taking pictures with Frank Sinatra because he was their business partner. They loved and admired the guy. Same goes for Deniro. When Jimmy Burke heard he was being portrayed by him, he was grateful to be played by such a skilled actor. That seems to be the mob's general consensus, that he's just awesome. As for a mafia film actor who really tries to be mobbed up, look up Tony Darrow.

Absolutely, Hairy. And let's not forget that these guys are hardly bastions of liberalism. I remember reading a few years back where a few mob guys were picked up on a wiretap praising DeNiro as an actor, but ripping him apart for being married to a black woman. Their choice of words was pretty crude.

Of course not. The guy is a capo for God's sake. Who's gonna have the balls to badmouth him? But DeNiro ain't Frank Cali.

I couldn't care less anyway. I'm as liberal as they come in that area.

Re: Rare photos - 05/16/12 05:48 PM

Of course there is a difference in who they marry, as opposed to who's their gf. Cali' would have never married a black woman, like DeNiro has.

And really, what do any mafioso care who DeNiro married? He's no real life gangster and in real life he's about as Italian as Chef Boyardee, so what are they hung up about?

Not rare, but this one says a lot to me. Here's Russell Bufalino presumably at his office. Seated next to him is 'Angelo Sciandra, a capo and father to Ed Sciandra. David Osticco (Underboss) is all the way to Bufalino's right, he looks to be in workman's clothes.



Next one has the same three figures. Bufalino in front, leaving court in 1959. Enjoy.

That is a rare photo. I have never seen it before.

Bufalino was quite a character. In 1977, he was convicted of extortion after threatening a guy who owed Bufalino 25.000 dollars. This guy testified against him and claimed he had been physically harmed. Bufalino did not seem to regret his actions though. He told the court: "If you had to deal with an animal like that Judge, you´d have done the same damn thing."
Posted By: BarrettM

Re: Rare photos - 05/16/12 10:12 PM

Right. I personally find him to be the most interesting gangster throughout history, mostly for his business model. He is the epitome of secrecy really, a 40 man family that operated as much on a national level as a local level. Who would have known? He had territory in Florida just like the 5 families and weaseled control over Buffalo towards the end of Maggaddino's reign. Here's some more.

EDIT: Cool, I'm a capo now.

Agreed! I love the rare pics. Here is one my favorites from Life Magazine Feb 14 1969 on page 56: Buster Wortman's funeral. This picture has 2 of the bosses of the St. Louis family (Vitale and Giordano) and the deceased east side boss (Wortman, part of the Chicago family) in the same picture. Throw in Louis Shoulders, one of the most corrupt cops in the history of law enforcement.

Interesting tidbit - the author of this article, won the Pulitzer for a later report on the relationship between St. Louis family and the Mayor, AJ Cervantes, his Crime Commissioner and Morris Shenker, mob lawyer. The local paper would not print the article, because the editor didn't believe the story and allegations. It was later learned that the editor did not print it under pressure from the Mayor's office and that the FBI leaked the whole story to Walsh. Life published the story, and the Mayor sued them for libel. He lost his suit.

Both articles have great pics of old time St. Louis gangsters.

In case you’re wondering how prison has been treating ex-mobster Salvatore “Sammy the Bull” Gravano, here’s the most recent photo taken of the imprisoned serial killer.

The 65-year-old Gravano, who snitched out John Gotti and other fellow hoodlums, is serving a 19-year stretch for an Arizona narcotics conviction (he is scheduled for release in early-2019).

The former Gambino underboss, who is reportedly suffering from Graves’ disease, was photographed by the Arizona Department of Corrections.

"This FBI photo, taken on June 11, 1979, at a game farm in Dexter shows convicted mob boss Jack Tocco (center) along with Vito Giacalone (left) and Anthony Corrado."



This surveillance photo was taken the day that Jack Tocco was appointed to replace Zerrilli as leader of the Detroit LCN. Great story providing background can be read here:

"Trunk music". The bodies of Jasper Campise and Johnny Gattuso, throats cut and stuffed in to the trunk of car. Retribution for shooting Outfit associate Ken Eto in the head (3 times) and still failing to kill him.



Left to right, partners in crime Chuckie Nicoletti and 'Milwaukee Phil' Alderisio. Chuckie Nicoletti was one of the Outfit's most prolific hitmen, and Alderisio designed them a car specifically made to conceal guns and hide from police. They were also Spilotro's accomplices during the whole head crushing vise thing.

Eighty four years ago, today, July 1, 1928, Frankie Yale was shot to death in Brooklyn, NY. The body of noted gang chief Frankie Yale, who was born Francesco Ioele, lies beside his automobile in front of 923 44th St (between New Utrecht & 9th Aves), after Yale was shot to death from a pursuing automobile. Yale's car crashed into a house and he was thrown out of the car.

Billy Batts is a mystery. All we know of him is what Henry Hill told us. His real name seems to have been William Devino. I have been looking for him for years in newspaper clippings, databases of all kinds and stuff but haven´t found anything. How sure can we be that he even existed?

What was the original source for his real name? I first saw this "DeVino" thing on the Wikipedia page for Tommy DeSimone, which includes the following somewhat questionable anecdote:

DeSimone committed what is believed to have been his first murder on March 15, 1968. He was walking down the street with Hill when DeSimone spotted Howard Goldstein, a passing pedestrian, unknown to either gangster. Hill recalls DeSimone turning to him and saying, "Hey Henry, watch this." DeSimone yelled, "Hey cocksucker!" and pulled out a .38 caliber pistol, and shot and killed Goldstein. Hill exclaimed, "That was cold-blooded, Tommy!" DeSimone replied, "Well, I'm a mean cat."

I´ve just learned, with great help from posters on another forum, that William Devino´s name actually was William J. Bentvena. That figures why there has been so hard to come over any info on Billy Batts. I have no clue why Pileggi or Hill named him Devino in the book "Wiseguy". Considering he was dead by the time when the book was written, I can´t imagine the publishers were scared of future lawsuits. (I don´t know.)
There is info on Bentvena on the internet, but thus far I haven´t been able to locate any pictures of him. Would be cool to know how he looked like!

Now I´m not so sure if the name "William Devino" actually appeared in the book. I don´t have the book here. So it may be that Hill, who perhaps never knew Billy Batts´s real name, threw "William Devino" out in an interview while being drunk or high, after the book had been published.
Or the original source was just a confused kid, writing articles on Wikipedia. smile

The picture was taken in connection with them arriving at a federal court in Miami, Florida to answer questions in front of a grand jury in 1969. The grand jury wanted to ask them why they have been conducting secret meetings at a Miami Beach motel. The mobsters gave only their names and addresses and refused to answer further questions. Vincent Alo and Meyer Lansky had also been subpoenad to this one.

Here´s another picture of Ricci, taken in 1955:

I have been looking but haven´t found any proof. Somewhere in the back of my mind I do remember reading that they were made. And mentioned in the same sentence was (if I remember correctly) their initiation was a "thank you" for a job well done. (The Roy DeMeo killing.)
I think both of them had a good relationship with the Luccheses. Especially Joey whose brother Patty was a Lucchese member.

You would think Al D'arco and Casso would of told the Feds when they flipped, perhaps they did. I was wondering HK, the Gemini twins were convicted in 1989? Were these charges all from their Gambino days under DeMeo? They were free for 6 years after DeMeo was murdered, did they carry on murdering after they left the Gemini crew?

It´s complicated...

In 1984, the government filed a 78 count indictment naming twenty-four defendants, including Senter and Testa, and alleging eleven different conspiracies. So it was a massive and a complexed trial.
Initially both Senter and Testa were acquitted (or in some cases the jury were unable to reach a verdict) of several charges including the car theft operation, murders and participation in dismemberment of victims.

http://findacase.com/research/wfrmDocViewer.aspx/xq/fac.19880216_0040987.c02.htm/qx

I don´t know what charges they were found guilty of. But it seems to me that they were tried again, a couple of years later on the same charges and were convicted of racketeering and 10 counts of murder. After a string of appeals, in 1989 they were finally sent to federal prison to serve life. I believe these charges all stemmed from their crimes commited while working for DeMeo.

According to Anthony Casso, Testa and Senter were responsible for the Vladimir Reznikov murder in 1986. If Casso is telling the truth (and I have no resaon to doubt it in this case) it does look like the "Gemini Twins" carried on murdering even after the DeMeo period.

You've got almost all the answers to these except for the youngest one in the photo to Scarfos left. I believe that's Leonetti's son. In the Primerime interview he did, he talked about his son and they showed this exact picture zoomed in on the kid with his face blurred out.

Re: Rare photos - 07/23/12 05:34 AM

No he was not named in the indictment. They did bring him up during the trial numerous times though, but Lumbo and the German were the only 2 guys from North of Roosevelt who actually got pinched. (Little Jimmy and Mickey ran Cicero). For people to think Mr. Difronzo was in any shape or form cooperating because he avoided the secrets trial is insane. Why not Sarno? Or Toots? Or the builder? Or better yet, Pizza Al (who was still alive at the time of the indictment) Those fellas have been around for ages and weren't named either.

The whole secrets trial was based on two things: 1. The Calabreses. The US attorney here in Chicago had a hard-on for Frank/Nick going back decades, and once they got Frank Jr's pathetic ass to cooperate, they new they'd have nick because he was weak and couldn't stomach life in prison.

2. The Spilotro bros. killing and sefiert's murder had been haunting Mitch Mars and those guys the same as Calabrese, if not more. They wanted the german and joey real bad since the 70s-80s because of those two things. Also, the fact that nick squealed and said little jimmy was there ended up being a bonus because he had just been named street boss. What better headline than to take a "boss" off the street? I've heard conflicting stories from people throughout the years as to whether jimmy actually drove mike and tony that day, or was just there, but one thing I've always heard was that John D was NOT present. The southside guys were the ones who really had a problem with Tony and Mikey.

And to answer you question about the video, its from '09 I believe. I used to eat at the restaurant "The loon cafe" with family all the time (grew up in River Grove), and it closed down around 2010 I believe?

There has always been the belief in Chicago that the Feds have been working on "Operation Family Secrets 2 Trial" aimed at the DiFronzos. You have to wonder what Nick & Frank (Jr.) Calabrese told the Feds about the two DiFronzo brothers. Not much was said about them during the 2007 Family Secrets trial.

Re: Rare photos - 07/25/12 12:12 AM

Wouldn't surprise me at all if another round of indictments came thru in the next couple years. But really, John-D would pretty much be the main target. Maybe Joe the Builder, but he's been sick and laying low. Used to see him around quite a bit at various restaurants/bars, but not anymore. Sarno is gone for awhile, plus Tornabene passed away a couple years ago, so the big name guys are sorta gone. There are a few guys remaining who wield power, for which I won't name names, but they're on those charts.

Francis Turatello


Born in Asiago, the son of an unmarried seamstress living at Milan and returned to his hometown during the war, according to many sources was the natural son of Italian-American mob boss Frank Coppola said Frank three fingers. He moved with his mother in Milan (Lambrate district) since childhood, amateur boxer in his youth, makes its appearance in the criminal Milan as a small car thief, and then move gradually to impose his personality, taking on roles of increasing leading up to reach the head of a criminal gang (consisting mostly of immigrants from Catania) addict to the control of the gambling dens of the city and the exploitation of prostitution (activity in the period of greatest success invoice tens of millions of lire a night ). He also participates in several robberies and kidnappings, with the complicity of boss of the Banda dei Marsigliesi Albert Bergamelli.Turatello is famous for the fierce rivalry, born from his youth, with Renato Vallanzasca, which results in a bloody feud with the many victims of both fronts. Later, after the arrest of both Vallanzasca and Turatello takes place a gradual rapprochement between the two friends shake that (among other Turatello will witness the wedding of Vallanzasca in marriage with Giuliana Brusa held in prison).There is still debate today on the position within Cosa Nostra of Turatello, but it is believed that during his criminal career was often in contact with senior members of the Neapolitan Camorra clans and families in Sicily. The figure of Turatello also appears in many dark episodes in the history of Italy of the seventies, including the kidnapping and murder of Aldo Moro and some criminal acts done by the Magliana Gang. After a lengthy fugitive was arrested April 2 1977 in fairly random Cordusio Square in Milan, tried for a long list of offenses is sentenced to a lengthy prison who is serving under the regime of rigorous imprisonment. Turatello was killed August 17, 1981 in prison in Sardinia Badu'e Carros by Pasquale Barra, Vincenzo Andraous, Antonino Faro, Adriano Danilo and Salvatore Maltese in a very brutal: will be stabbed and disemboweled, and his heart checked out and bitten. The motive for this murder is still mysterious, but certainly an end so terrible - and the consequent destruction of the body - revealing that he had committed an offense very great. Some sources date back to the New Organized Camorra order the murder, but there still remain reliable sources. Francis is buried at Turatello Monumental Monza.

Mafia boss Vincenzo Di Carlo (1911-1979)



Police Commissioner Cataldo Tandoj and his wife, Leila Motta

Born in 1911, Vincenzo Di Carlo had belonged to the Fascist party until 1943, being an active member and leader of the GIL, the Fascist Youth movement. Once again it becomes clear how many criminal Mafiosi had been perfectly amalgamated with the Fascist structure, which was so similar to the Mafia. Under the Allies, DI Carlo was once again at the top: he was made responsible for the requisition of cereals and later became a member of the Raffadali junta. In 1950 he was given an honorary judiciary role, that of “giudice conciliatore”. In 1957 he was made head of the local section of the Christian Democratic Party. But the Carabinieri wrote (1960): “Di Carlo is the head of the local Mafia, which is made up of eight individuals; almost all have been indicted for crimes and have a criminal background. All these, including Di Carlo, operate within the Christian Democratic party and under its political protection move in silence and with total tranquility, as is the custom of the Mafia.”
On 30 March 1960, on one of these evenings when Agrigento begins to feel the heat coming, Police Commissioner Cataldo Tandoj (who had been head of the Squadra Mobile and was on the point of being transferred to Rome) and his wife were taking a stroll. It was late and dark. Suddenly from a side alley a man jumped out and opened fire: Tandoj died like a Mafia boss. A passing student was hit by a bullet and died too. Gossip quickly reached the police. Word spread that the handsome Mrs Tandoj was the mistress of Professor Mario La Loggia, a psychiatrist, brother of the former Christian democrat president of Sicily. Agrigento was described (in Sicilian and national papers) as a city of sin and orgies. La Loggia’s wife, the “insatiable” Danika, was accused of having an illicit relationship with Mrs Tandoj as well.
The Mafia masterminded the rumour campaign, and Mario La Loggia and Mrs Tandoj were arrested and imprisoned for several months. But a diary of Tandoj’s was found, and the truth came out (the diary later disappeared). Many police officers could have guessed it, because all at Agrigento knew that Commissioner Tandoj had close relationship with the cosche, both with Genco Russo’s and especially with Vincenzo Di Carlo’s, at Raffadali.
During the Fifties Tandoj had discovered much evidence against Di Carlo, but instead of publicly incriminating the boss of Raffadali he had blackmailed him. TO the prosecuting magistrates he had only told a small part of Di Carlo’s story. Although there had been strong pressures from some of the police, the Carabinieri and the judiciaries to arrest two suspects, Giuseppe Terrazino and Vincenzo Di Carlo, Tandoj had protected them and refused to arrest them. A policeman (known only to Tandoj) who was making inquiries about Terrazino had been attacked and badly wounded one night. “But in the last months of his life”, wrote Senator Pafundi in a document which until 1970 had been kept secret, “Tandoj had become helpless with the vast cosca of Raffadali and could not put a stop to the many murders when the association broke up, due to the rivalry of private interests”. And with Tandoj about to be transferred to Rome, the Raffadali cosca was no longer sure of his silence.
The La Loggia brothers were the nucleus of the Fanfani faction in the Agrigento region. For some Mafia quarters, it was also useful to discredit the La Loggias and, in so doing, to prevent the former head of the Region from becoming the head of the Bank of Sicily. When the truth came out it was too late: Mrs Tandoj and Mario La Loggia had been drowned in a sea of muddy gossip.
IN 1962 it was the heads of the Agrigento police, Salvatore Guarino, who accused Di Carlo. This was due to the fact that Di Carlo had been formally accused. Guarino reported:

The giudice conciliatore of Raffadali, Vincenzo Di Carlo, is a notorious Mafia figure in Raffadali. He has belonged to that criminal organization for over ten years and I believe that he is implicated in – or at least he is in the know about the authors of – the majority of those terrible crimes which have been committed in that territory. During the investigation for the murder of Police Commissar Tandoj… extremely damaging evidence has emerged against Di Carlo, which proves his affiliation to the Mafia of Raffadali.

Finally a trial took place. In concluded with Di Carlo’s life sentence, and his immediate appeal. The judges had declared that “the mandate of killing Tandoj was decided in even higher quarters’ than Di Carlo’s cosca.

Dwalin2011 Interesting post and good pics you put up there. Interesting to me, anyway, because Agrigento is rarely mentioned on this forum.

Interesting as well is, just over the past few months, governor of Agrigento Province was arrested for mafia association. This was/is big news down there. That province is still the most heavily mafia entrenched in all of Sicily.

Re: Rare photos - 07/27/12 01:39 AM

Thanks for the appreciation. I will later borrow some books from the library that have other photos of trials and mafia bosses from the 60s and 70s which are better quality than the ones I posted (I took them from an online Italian newspaper archive). I will upload them when I have them.

Yes, Agrigento (Trapani also) is considered one of the zones with the strongest mafia influence. I read the informants said that if it’s evaluated in numbers, then Palermo would be 10, Agrigento and Trapani 8, Caltanissetta 6 and Catania 4.
I wonder why they didn't even consider other provinces. For example, the mafia in the Messina province is said to be quite strong.
By the way, the arrested governor of Sicily, Salvatore Cuffaro, is also from Raffadali like Di Carlo.

Sounds good Dwalin. I have a lot of pics as well, but none that should be put up in public, but I'd like to see what you get a hold of, too.

I was going to go back and edit to add that Salvatore Cuffaro was also from Raffadali, but I got sidetracked, but yes..that's pretty interesting. I think so anyway.

No Messina is not nearly as strong as the others, but if you see recent events, there is a lot going on there lately. And Agrigento is all over the news again as well. Lots of stuff going on there. I'm sure you're aware.

Look forward to your pics and posts when you get to them. Thanks.

It may not be as strong as Palermo, Agrigento and Trapani, but it must at least be comparable to Catania, because one of the Messina bosses, Giovanni Sindoni, was able to put pressure on the boss of Catania, Benedetto Santapaola, when he was going to kill the journalist Beppe Alfano in 1993. He was killed near the place where Santapaola was hiding, this was dangerous for him as it attracted unwanted attention, but he couldn't refuse Sindoni.
This was in 1993 though. Maybe Messina got weaker later. Sindoni is still free though, unfortunately and not even a fugitive. Too many powerful friends in law enforcement.

I didn't know that. But then why didn't Santapaola just laugh and tell Sindoni to shoot himself instead of doing what he asked and risking arrest by having Alfano murdered near his own hideout?

nitto santapaola was hiding in barcellona at that time and sindoni is also a powerful freemason member but the murder of that journalist was worth also for santapaola coz he was inquiring into interest of both local and catania families
by the way barcellona has not any boss in the commission but it answers to santapaola family like most of the eastern crime families

The Neapolitan Navy Street gang were members of the Camorra based in Brooklyn and Coney Island. The gang fought against other crime families for control of the New York rackets but was decimated when its own members turned against them in 1917

The former Gambino underboss, who is reportedly suffering from Graves’ disease, was photographed by the Arizona Department of Corrections.


Sammy Gravano and John Gotti broke the golden rule of organization. Vincent Gigante (the last of the old schoolers) wanted them to pay. They've both payed. Why these men of little honor are worshiped is beyond me. I guess hype and media attention mask over deceit and dishonor.

The picture was found in the "New York Police Files On The Mafia"-book by Charlie Carr which is a collection of New York´s five Families files, arrest records and mugshots from the 1940s and 1950s.
According to his rapsheet, Plate was arrested numerous of times for robbery and in 1937 was sentenced to a 5-10 year prison term. He also had arrests for felonious assault and "frequenting house of ill fame" and "frequenting gaming house".

George Filippone later rose to the rank of a captain within the Genovese Family, heading a crew based out of Manhattan´s Lower East Side if I´m correctly informed. It´s hard to find any pictures of him, he seems to have been extremely camera shy...

Just a couple of sidenotes...
The man enjoying a tomato soup is not Dutch Schultz, but one of his men. Schultz enjoyed the restaraunt´s bathroom when being shot. He died a couple of days later.

Schultz´s lawyer, Richard "Dixie" Davis, is most probably responsible for the myth of the purge, claiming more than 30 old mustache petes were knocked out across the country the day Maranzano was killed. This number snowballed later into 50 and more by newspapermen and authors, apparently because they had nothing better to write about.
Dixie claimed he had learned about the purge from one of Schultz´s gunmen Bo Weinberg.

Yeah. Louis Russo was murdered in NJ the same day as Maranzano, James LaPore in Bronx, and a Philly mobster, Siragusa was killed two weeks after the Maranzano killing. I think there was a fifth too, but his name slips my mind right now.

Re: Rare photos - 11/11/12 06:57 PM

Charles Majuri. Underboss of the DeCavalcante family. Never moved out of his mother's house. He is close to 70 now.



Two made guys were sent to kill him at his mother's house. They stayed parked outside in a car for over two hours before deciding to fly back to Florida and tell their boss (Vincent Palermo I think) they couldn't do it. Palermo sent the two to kill Majuri after Palermo found out Majuri was planning to kill him and another member of DeCalvancante's administration. The family was in a delicate position and Vincent Palermo, Giralomo Palermo, (not related) and Charles Majuri created a panel of high profile mafiosi, including themselves, to run the Mafia family. Majuri heard both Palermos were planning to make a change that wouldn't benefit or defecit Majuri's position in the family or his pockets. For whatever reason this made Majuri rage and plan to have Vincent Palermo killed. After the two made men returned to Florida and give Vincent the "bad" news, Vincent decided to call off the hit entirely, because he knew Majuri's motivation was simply blind rage and that they'd be able to work it out down the road. Majuri was indicted that year.





And who is this guy?
Posted By: HairyKnuckles

Re: Rare photos - 11/11/12 07:16 PM

Charles Majuri´s father Frank, was also a high ranking member going back to when Nick Delmore headed what later became the DeCavalcante Family. Frank died in 1999.

Re: Rare photos - 11/21/12 10:27 PM

I think the picture was taken sometime around 1987. At that time, Andy Campos was just a teenager. That guy in the picture, does not look like a teenager. So it´s most likely not Andy Campos. The guy in suit (with his hands in the pockets) kinda reminds me of Eddie Lino. But I´m far from being sure. The picture is too blurry to know for sure.

- Located at 63-62 75th Street in Middle Village, this is the longtime Queens home of Fritzy Giovanelli and his family. The house's phone was bugged by the FBI in the course of a federal racketeering investigation.
- This ramshackle Queens storefront, known as the Bushwick Democratic Club, had been used as a headquarters by Fritzy Giovanelli and his associates
-Detective Anthony Venditti was shot to death in front of this Ridgewood, Queens restaurant, the Castillo Diner. Fritzy Giovanelli was arrested running from the scene of the shooting, but he was eventually acquitted of murder charges.
- In a Greenwich Village neighborhood now dotted with chic boutiques and fashionable restaurants, the Triangle Social Club is a dingy reminder that the Genovese crime family remains entrenched in the area.
- Since access to the Triangle Social Club is limited to, um, members, here's an FBI floorplan of the club (interior details were provided by a bureau snitch who'd spent time within the Triangle's hallowed walls).
-This is the Manhattan building in which Frank Condo lived.

My grandfather lived right up the street from where Frankie Yale lived on 14th ave and 67th street in Brooklyn. My grandfather knew him well in the 1920's and in later years his widow used to sit outside of their home in the 1960's and I would see her as an older heavy woman.

He wasn't necessarily a dead-line "rat". He still worked in crime and fed authorites information to get by his criminal life. I didn't know that he was child molester and pedophile, is that a complete FACT though?. Some guy, All I knew about him was that he was a hardcore criminal.

You don't understand what I'm saying. Put it this way. Is Whitey Bulger a bigger rat than Sammy Gravano, Anthony Casso or even Big Pussy from The Sopranos. Bulger wasn't a complete rat. He gave information so they allowed him protection so then nobody could touch him making him the biggest in Boston. He was still involved in that old Boston gang which he was in and didn't completely sell out everyone. Though now I know he is a child molester, I don't like him.

They both did! They probably Diddled each other. The reason I'm so confident in my answer is the Priest who ran the school cleaned up Mt Carmel in Harlem and he explained why he was so serious about it. It was because he saw the treachery of Whitey! The Boston Globe wrote an article which several of the victims gave thier accounts of what happened

Re: Rare photos - 12/22/12 04:39 PM

Really? Okay, Since Whitey Bulger is a complete rat (in your eyes) then I guess Sammy Gravano isn't a complete rat or even a RAT. You could indeed tell me thing's which I wouldn't find in book's but so could I. I could tell you that Carlo Gambino was my uncle. Whitey Bulger isn't a complete, Do you know why? He didn't hide from The Mob and instead ran his own army while giving information. He gave information so he could carry on his business and without going to prison. He didn't (back then) enter the witness protection program but still had good protection from authorites. Sammy Gravano is a COMPLETE rat. He didn't carry on doing crime while giving information what Bulger did. Do you understand what I'm saying now?.. Also maybe you have reading problems, If you didn't notice I said I hated him. I changed my mind about him when you told me that he was a pedophile. Also, Why swear when you won't say it face-to-face. Plus, How on earth could I get my facts straight when I knew nothing about Bulger. All I knew was that he was a hardcore criminal. I'm not very much interested in Whitey so I wouldn't of known that he was a pedophile.

My boy? My boy? Really? Is that really so. You know, I knew nothing about Whitey. All I atleast cared about was that he was a Boston criminal.

To be honest Harlem, You don't really know him either. You have these books and people like Jerry Capeci then you'll believe them people in a click. I did like Bulger as I saw The Departed which was based on him. I never knew much about him and I'm still not going to really look him up. You cant really bust my balls about this and plus I don't read much books. Some but not alot and of-course not about Boston figures.

Reiter was convicted of a murder i believe and stood his ground,much respected by OC guys from his era.

I'm sure Pistone is preserving/rationing a photos information and whatever else he can make a buck off of..I wouldn't be surprised if he reached as far as making a movie about going after Nickey Barnes or Frank Lucas...didn't Pistone sue the film company and producers of American Gangster because they said the cops stole money and they claimed they didn't ...

I'm referring to the movie American Gangster not the Tv Series just wanted to clarify that

Agreed. I´m sure there are FBI files available on him and requestable through FOIA, but other than Pistone´s info on him, there is not much out there that´s accessible.
I know his real name was Angelo J. Greca and that he was born in 1927. He did a stint in jail in the early 1970s after been arrested in Switzerland (!) on charges of conspiracy to transport and sell a $100,000 U.S. Treasury note stolen from a New York brokerage firm.

Agreed. I´m sure there are FBI files available on him and requestable through FOIA, but other than Pistone´s info on him, there is not much out there that´s accessible.
I know his real name was Angelo J. Greca and that he was born in 1927. He did a stint in jail in the early 1970s after been arrested in Switzerland (!) on charges of conspiracy to transport and sell a $100,000 U.S. Treasury note stolen from a New York brokerage firm.


Ah interesting stuff. Bit random he was in Switzerland!

I'm sure I recall that in Joe Pistone's book it mentions that Jilly was whacked in 1980 whilst sat in his car at a traffic light. So that concludes that he was whacked because the Bonnano's thought he might flip, rather than having anything to do with the Bonnano's getting rid of anyone who let Pistone into the family - which of course was 1981 onwards.

Camera shy is putting it lightly! There aren't even any family photos of George,
aka George Agento. Philie Katz also in this photo along with Frank the bug, and Joe Gallo, talk about rare photo! I have seen where some people mistakenly refer to Georgie as "Flip"
That is not accurate, Two different guys. Flip was low level not a made guy.
George was called "Georgie Agento" because of the area of Sicilly he was from, although he was born here and then spent quite a bit of time there as a young man before returning to the U.S.

Here's some I found about a Russian mob boss in Latvia. Ivan Kharitonov. In the 90's he was nicknamed as the 'king of extortion' by the media. He controlled almost whole Riga with his group. I've seen this guy in real life myself, and he gave a damn scary look at me and my friend when we passed. Saw him with a really fancy Lexus back then this summer.

Kharitonov(right) and his Brigade in the 90's,

Here's he's a bit older.

And these are him attending New Wave each year in Jurmala.

First photo taken of Joe Queli (on right) before turning himself into prison for his loansharking convictions in the Newark waterfront arrest about 2 years ago. Photo taken at the same HS reunion as Licata. (Thanks to rocco and soliai for the photo.)

Second photo is Joe Queli is sitting to the left and Mike Coppola is (short guy) standing with the beard to the right. Photo was taken at a HS reunion sometimes in the 1970's. (Thanks to rocco and soliai for the photo.)

Hughie Mulligan (died 1973) was a New York mobster and bookmaker who headed criminal activities of the "Irish Mob" in Hell's Kitchen during the 1950s. His protégés included Jimmy Burke, an associate of the Lucchese crime family, and his eventual successor Mickey Spillane.

Nice to see some colour snaps of Demeo.
These would be from the 1979 hunting trip mentioned in Al Demeo's book.

As to the question of who nailed Richie Dinome.........my money would be on the Gemini twins.
Richie would know things about Roys crew that could incriminate the twins, they certainly had a motive to whack him.

Nothing really new in them but here's a couple articles on when the 3 of them were murdered. The one article said the other 2 guys were in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Here's a fairly recent photo of Barney Bellomo. Thanks to Barbarian for posting this on the RD. Charlie Luciano said it was taken shortly after Barney was released from prison four years ago, at the celebration of his daughter Sabrina's first child.

No, I'm not saying that. All that was originally posted was that little part showing Barney's face. My point is, I could see the griping if his entire family was shown. But it's not so it's really no big deal.

There have been a ton of personal photos of numerous gangsters posted on this forum and the others. I haven't seen you say anything about it until now. Sorry, EHI, you're not going to get any brownie points with Barney for defending his "privacy" on this board. He is a public figure. And he's a gangster. Maybe he should have become an insurance salesman instead. Not my problem. And there's nothing wrong with posting that photo. Now quit bitching.

First, who's acting tough? Second, who said I was a cop? I'm a juvenile probation officer. Third, recent photos of Bellomo are hard to come by. I take the time to post one, after it's posted over on the RD, and you guys act like I've broken some code. Like it's your duty to defend Barney's privacy and honor or something. All the while, not saying word one about all the other personal photos of mobsters that have been posted here. Why is that? You guys have something special for Bellomo? Seriously, this is a forum where information, photos, etc. is posted. If you don't like it, go over to Barney's house and ask him if you can shovel his walk for him or something. Who knows, maybe you'll get lucky and he'll let you guys wipe his ass. whistle

i'm far from some big fan of the police, so if that is what you are driving at, sorry. are you going to honestly pretend that the guy in question is nothing more than a glamorized low-life criminal? is he an interesting guy, yeah sure. do i think the world would be much better off without leaches like him? without a doubt! some of you guys here treat these men like royalty, and if you are involved in that life, ok. if you are not, don't try to claim some weird street cred about not exposing these guys, because if you really were involved in that life, then just being on this site makes you a hypocrite.

If you really thought it was disgusting, you would have said the same thing about the other personal photos of mobsters that have been posted here in the past. But you haven't. All this is about is you trying to play Mr. Street Guy and acting like you're defending some code of the street or something. It's pathetic and makes you come across as a major fan boy. You'd probably shit your pants if somebody posted a personal photo of Fat Tony. whistle

That's the background the original poster of the photo gave over on the RD. That Barney has a daughter named Sabrina, who's an attorney, isn't exactly news to some here.

Sabrina represented her father back in 2007 and was integral in getting him a great plea deal on a mail fraud charge. So it's true that her identity is a matter of public record. But it's also true that to raise a daughter that intelligent and refined, that there is some good in the man. So it cuts both ways, and we should at least ecognize that wink.

The man raised a great family. Those of you that know me here know I wouldn't make that claim to kiss ass or live some kind of vicarious fantasy. It's from personal knowledge of the situation. But I'm done in this thread. I won't make another post. I'll just add that this silly infighting HAS TO FUCKING STOP!!!!

Rediculous, the whole idea of the Post is "Rare Photos". A poster would want to post a photo someone maybe has that no one has ever seen before and a viewer who is facinated with the share of it can revel in the discovery.

Your comments could deter a welcome fresh view of something rare, rather than the same old images refiltered over and over. And for it to have unsubs in it, being friends or family, happens all the time and a trip of the trade.

Fifty years ago today, March 5, 1963:

Thousands overflow a South Brooklyn street for a glimpse of the Anthony Anastasio funeral procession as it moves slowly from the church. The union boss of the Brooklyn waterfront died March 1, age 57, of a heart condition. In addition to 15 flower cars, the funeral procession included about 50 limousines.

Anastasio was Albert Anastasia's brother.

Nice find, SC. Since you're out of Brooklyn...

That photograph is looking east from Summit Street between Hicks and Henry, where it turns into to 1st Place.

The property of the church where Tony had his funeral, St Stephen, goes east from between Carroll and Summit.

Joey was in the can then, of course, but I wonder if the other Gallo brothers or anyone else from the crew was there since, besides paying 'respects,' they were like a two minute walk away.

Anastasio was Albert Anastasia's brother.

Lighten up, it's Saturday.

SC was obviously posting that pic because it was taken 50 years ago TODAY. I've never seen it, so it's rare to me. Post a rare instead of complaining.

Thanks for the pic, SC. Never seen it.

Not sure if these have been posted before, but after hearing about Jimmy Nap on some mob documentary's I did a little digging and found these on Tony Nap's (Jimmy's son) website.

Genovese Caporegime and the New York Mafia's 'super banker' James "Jimmy Nap" Napoli, during the 1970's he controlled the largest illegal gambling operation in the United States which allegedly employed two thousand people and grossed over $150 million a year.


Jimmy Nap (right) at a boxing match in the 70's, throughout his career Napoli was indicted for fixing several boxing bouts.


Napoli and associates doing time in Danbury Connecticut in the 80's.


A photograph of Jimmy outside one of his crews favourite hangouts, Crisci's Restaurant in Brooklyn.


Napoli enjoyed fine foods, good wine and a life of luxury, he was known as a "Gentleman's Gentleman".

The NY Post had a pic today of Sen. Al D'amato in a pic with two Gambino associates, today. Not sure if this can be linked, just thought I would mention, it was pretty cool. I saw it on the website NYPOST.COM, just a few hours ago and went back to link it and its gone now. I guess he made a few phone calls.

Oh well. I left the paper on my desk, its out there.

This is interesting, I made a thread on this about a year ago and a lot said they weren't. Is there proof? They were with the Gambino's in 83 and maybe 84 so it would be quick to get made into a new family in a year or two?


I have been looking but haven´t found any proof. Somewhere in the back of my mind I do remember reading that they were made. And mentioned in the same sentence was (if I remember correctly) their initiation was a "thank you" for a job well done. (The Roy DeMeo killing.)
I think both of them had a good relationship with the Luccheses. Especially Joey whose brother Patty was a Lucchese member.


I think we may finally come to a rest on this matter. According to the new D´Arco book (a pretty decent read btw) both Anthony Senter and Joey Testa were inducted into the Lucchese Family in 1988. They were put in D´Arco´s crew (the old Paul Vario crew).

Idk. Both are great but pacino is only defined by one role while de niro has had more defining roles. They both have had a lot of terrible roles. But I'd say if both of their careers ended after the 90s or even before the 90s started, De Niro would be seen as the better actor. De Niro I would put in the top 3 all time idk if I would put pacino up there. I think the main reason they're always compared so much is because they came up at around the same time and they're both Italian americans who have played mobsters.

I personally prefer Deniro too, but what one role are you talking about? If it's Michael Corleone i wouldn't even say that's his best performance, i'd say that's Dog Day Afternoon. As well as DDA and the three Godfathers, there's Scarface,Serpico,And Justice for all. I'd also say he's very underrated in Donnie Brasco too.

For Deniro i'd say, GF2,Taxi Driver,Raging Bull,Goodfellas,King of Comedy,Casino and Heat. Maybe Once Upon a Time In America too, but Deniro always annoyed me in that.

Re: Rare photos - 11/01/13 05:25 PM

Yes Pacino MADE Donnie Brasco along with Madsen. You'll find a copy of The Godfather (I and II) and Scarface in about every household these days. The same could probably be said for Goodfellas and maybe Casino. I say Pacino.

Justice for all is a good flick too. And I agree with Donnie Brasco; you listen to the tapes with Lefty talking to Pistone on the phone and then Pacinos performance in the movie and it's like listening to the two same people.
Posted By: Revis_Knicks

Re: Rare photos - 11/01/13 08:57 PM

I agree with that completely. Dog day afternoon is one of my favorite pacino performances if not my favorite. But people really only know him as Michael corleone rather than sonny wortzik it seems. I always thought de niro was great in midnight run, the fan, cape fear and deer hunter too. Pacino was also great in Carlito's way. I thought De Niro was great in his new movie silver linings playbook too. I think he won the oscar for it but I'm not sure. I know he was at least nominated. I felt he should've won. But De Niro was also extremely versatile as an actor. Some other actors I feel that are great are jack Nicholson, Denzel Washington, marlon Brando and so on. I think Jonny Depp is really something special. He can play pretty much any role at a high level.
Posted By: Camarel

Re: Rare photos - 11/01/13 08:59 PM

His performance in, ...And Justice For All is ridiculously underrated. I get that people wouldn't want to watch a random 70's courtroom drama, but it's one of his best imo. The same for Deniro in King of Comedy, i barely know anyone who's seen that movie but imo it's Deniro's best performance.
Posted By: Revis_Knicks

Re: Rare photos - 11/01/13 09:06 PM

I agree. Justice for all was great. I think he might've over-acted a little bit in that but still a stellar performance and I think one of his best. I don't think I've seen king of comedy. Would love to see it though. My favorite performance by De Niro is either as him as Vito or jake Lamotta. Both flawless. Idk if I've ever seen a better performance than his as Vito corleone to be honest. When I saw it I really thought he wasn't an American. I didn't even know it was him. And I saw mean streets! I didn't know it was him until I saw his name in the credits.

What people, you? I think you're either underrating Pacino or overrating Deniro. I completely agree with you on Deniro i prefer him too , but can you point towards his versatility compared to Pacino?

In all honesty i wouldn't say either are incredibly versatile. Not many actors are. My favourite actor ever, Humphrey Bogart played more or less the same character in every movie.

One versatile actor that popped into my mind right away was Gary Oldman, Sid Vicious, Leon villain, Dracula, Beethoven, Commissioner Gordon,etc.

Re: Rare photos - 11/01/13 11:34 PM

That's my opinion. You ask people who they know al pacino as on the street and they'll say Michael corleone. People think of him as Michael corleone more so than any character he's played. He's had some great roles but honestly I've never been as impressed with him as others have been. That is after godfather trilogy and dog day afternoon of course. He seemed to over-act a lot by yelling. He also had a lot of sudden silences in pretty much everyone one of his movies. Not all of course, but a lot. I wouldn't really say that that in itself is great acting. And yelling and sudden silences seem to be his signature. In most credible top actor list you would see de niro ahead of pacino. And De Niro is much more versatile than pacino. Look at his roles compared to pacino's. Al's haven't been too much different from each other. De Niro's have been more various than Pacino's. And I feel like De Niro invests more into his movies. He basically acts as a co-director from what all of his documentaries have said. And he's been in 70 something movies compared to pacino who hasn't been in nearly as much. Most of their movies haven't been that good, but the ones that are, are legendary. Not every movie is gonna be great. But in the end, both are legends, both are in my top 10 but I definitely prefer De Niro over him.

Re: Rare photos - 11/01/13 11:36 PM

And yes Oldman is great and versatile. But he is not on the level of De Niro or Pacino. In order to be compared to them you have to be on their level. I would compared Denzel to them, Brando, Nicholson, mike Douglas, Harrison ford, robin Williams etc to them.

Nice pic of Al Lettieri. I'm a big fan of his, Al was a real badass. He was great as Rudy in The Getaway.
Al Lettieri and Steve McQueen...you don't get much cooler then those 2 guys.



In the Getaway he has Harold all tied up and he's banging Harold's girl played by Sally Struthers right in front of him...lol! What a shame Lettieri died so young, i think he was 47 or 48 when he died. He had a great career ahead of him IMO, a real loss.

I asked you to show Deniro's versatility compared to Al's, as i expected you didn't make a case for either rolleyes . Again you've attributed Pacino to The Godfaher, without watching or at least acknowledging his other roles. It doesn't matter what you decide is a defining role.

What does this mean anyway - Al's haven't been too much different from each other. De Niro's have been more various than Pacino's. And I feel like De Niro invests more into his movies.

Re: Rare photos - 11/02/13 01:52 AM

Cape fear, taxi driver, goodfellas, bloody mama, meet the parents, analyze this(both comedies), bang the drum slowly, raging bull, the fan, everybody's fine, silver linings playbook are all very different from each other. And I did acknowledge his other roles. Go back and read it. I said he was great in Godfather 1&2, dog day afternoon, Carlito's way, serpico, Donnie brasco and justice for all. Al Pacino's roles all haven't been too much different from each other. He plays best as a mobster or cop. He plays the same roles for the most part. Pacino is not good at comedy while De Niro has proved to be very good at comedy. I'm not saying in my opinion but based on his general reception when he was doing his comedy acts. De Niro has more range to go from character to character it seems. When I say he invests more, I mean look at what he did for raging bull, he gained like 60 pounds to portray the older jake Lamotta. He didn't eat for days to play his dug addicted character in bloody mama, he was a taxi driver in manhattan so he could get his role down for taxi driver, he even went to Sicily and lived there in order to get the language down for the Godfather 2. He always wanted to get his character down to the tee. For instance, when he played jimmy Conway he wanted to know the big things and little things about him, such as how he held a cigarette and so on. Based on the documentaries I've seen of him, he is basically the unofficial co-director because he always has input on his movies. Not all of them I'm sure, but many of them. Such as Scorsese's movies. Scorsese has said that De Niro helps a lot in the directing process and always has ideas on how to make the movie better.

Re: Rare photos - 11/02/13 01:54 AM

And don't forget, just because a movie isn't that good doesn't mean that there aren't great performances in them. Pacino and De Niro have produced some bad movies where they have had very good to even great performances in my opinion.

Yes, it is or was Pasquale Eboli.

Heres the original Vanity Fair article with the picture that talks about the day that Al Lettieri brought Pacino over to his relative Eboli's house. I think he also brought Brando there too, either the same day or another day. I forget which.

Al Pacino's roles all haven't been too much different from each other. He plays best as a mobster or cop. He plays the same roles for the most part. Pacino is not good at comedy while De Niro has proved to be very good at comedy. I'm not saying in my opinion but based on his general reception when he was doing his comedy acts. De Niro has more range to go from character to character it seems. When I say he invests more, I mean look at what he did for raging bull, he gained like 60 pounds to portray the older jake Lamotta. He didn't eat for days to play his dug addicted character in bloody mama, he was a taxi driver in manhattan so he could get his role down for taxi driver, he even went to Sicily and lived there in order to get the language down for the Godfather 2. He always wanted to get his character down to the tee. For instance, when he played jimmy Conway he wanted to know the big things and little things about him, such as how he held a cigarette and so on. Based on the documentaries I've seen of him, he is basically the unofficial co-director because he always has input on his movies. Not all of them I'm sure, but many of them. Such as Scorsese's movies. Scorsese has said that De Niro helps a lot in the directing process and always has ideas on how to make the movie better.


I have the feeling you've recently watched DeNiro's biography on the Bio Channel like myself lol

Also I read another member saying that Mazzones wife (Danielle) left him a while back.. So if that's not her in the picture then that is either his new wife or his girlfriend I suppose.

This guy must feel like shit waking up everyday with everything that went on ever since the day he got busted and him and his dads life turned into a nightmare.. I mean not only did there business get shut down, but his dad went against everything he believed in and stood for just to save his son and in the end his dad couldnt take it and ended up killing himself. I couldnt even begin to imagine how I would feel if my father and I were ever in that situation. But thats the path they choose right...

That is just the end-date of his original RICO conviction of 45 years. Once that ends, on the off-chance that he lives that long, he would then begin the life sentence he received for first-degree murder.

Luciano was arrested down in Miami, Florida around the time of when that picture of Masseria and wife was taken. It looks like they were both (Luciano and Masseria) down there to relax and to...gamble. During a raid on a suite in a Miami Beach hotel, 19 gamblers were rounded up. Luciano was arrested on operating the gambling game, carrying a concealed weapon (he had a revolver on him) and vagrancy charges. One of the gamblers arrested, had 60 thousand dollars on him! But another, hapless soul had only 12 cents... lol

your pic above says ralph staino was a soldier in the 70s 80s. But I am a little confused. And the book "blood and honor" is a source of a little of that confusion

Nicky Crow says that Staino was part of one of the street tax collection crews in the very early 80s. But then he says, at the time of Staino stealing P2P from one of their protected guys, 1986, he wasn't a made guy.

When the hell was this guy made? Or was he never made and always an associate? And if he's Ant Staino's uncle, since they have the same the same last name, does that mean Ant's dad is Ralphs brother? Is he legit?

Ralph Staino was one of the last people Scarfo made it was right before they got indicted, it is mentioned in Blood and Honor it was after the p2p thing

I know Ralph is DEF Anthonys uncle. But I am not 100% positive how theyre exactly connected. Probably Ralphs brother is Anthonys father, and I have never heard anything about him. Anthony was a union guy in the 90's probably as a favor to his uncle by scarfo. He probably met Ligambi around the same time and they must of been on the same page with how to make money. Thats probably how they became so close.

And Ralph was Def made by Scarfo. though not very active when he got out of prison. He was ill and later passed away.

What do you base that on, his being a mafia member? I will take Cuban Girls word for him being as she said. All the reading I have done on Crea, he has always seemed more into money side of things, and never have I seen him portrayed as a thug. It does not make him an innocent, but what are you going by?

No need for your sarcasm. If you take the time to read the indictment of him, there in no violence in the charges. The extortion charge is due to money being skimmed, and pay offs. This is extortion under RICO law.

probably Atlanta, it's where he'd been for the majority of his bid. Right now hes @ Butner according to the BOP site.

Whoever took it was more than likely another inmate whose job is to take inmate photos in the visiting room that'd be my guess

Didn't the Snake and Bernie have some kinda beef there and apparently the Snake had some big dude go and beat up Bernie? I also feel like Bernie took off his glasses and threw down with Carmine's henchman who was some big dude that was a karate, for lack of a better word, expert. Bernie got sent to the infirmary for wounds but I think he kept his mouth shut and didn't say anything when questioned.

Vitovito, who is that in picture with Dellacroce, and do you have any background on the year and the arrest? That's a great photo. It is obviously a line up shot, I wonder who the others in photo are. There is a person on far right who's arm is visible.

Looks like Abe Reles, a hitman for Murder, Inc. IF it is him then this photo was from the late '30s.

It does look like him a little, but I don't think it is. In 1930's Dellacroce would have still been in his 20's, he seems older in this photo. If it is Reles, that is one amazing picture.

You're right.... the large version of the photo shows it is dated 1958. Reles' canary wings were long clipped by then. The photo was taken six months after Gambino took over the Family.

In 1958, Dellacroce was arrested for vagrancy. I would think that the other guys were also arrested for tha same thing and were not necessarily connected with eachother. Gosh, Dellacroce looks to be 7 feet tall, standing next to that small guy!

Speaking of this, maybe I don't understand the concept of "vagrancy" very well, but if I do, and it really does mean "being a homeless person, a bum", then how on earth can a mafia member be EVER in such a situation, unless he wanted to tease the cops on purpose? It doesn't make sense even for the lowest associates, unless it's some drug addict used for just one time to deliver a package.

I know that back in the day small midwestern and southern towns would charge bums, drunks and transients with that charge to either put them in the county lock-up or make them move along to the next town. It was one of those losely defined nuisence charges that cops could use.

Neil was known as "the Tall Guy" He does looke very menacing especially when he was younger. Its a stark contrast to the photos in 1984 when thr cancer had taken effect

Was 'Thief' worth checking out? No, I didn't think it was. I wouldn't recommend it. In my opinion Caan is a weak actor all across the board, especially in tough guy roles. His attempt at a Chicago accent was pathetic & came off as a Bridgeport guy with a Jersey accent which is obviously laughable & awkward.

The coolest/most authentic thing Mann ever did regarding Chicago was the television series 'Crime Story' starring Dennis Farina.

Wow - what an awesome thread....I love these new generation pics and I collect vintage LCN photos (b&w physical copies). Is there any way to see the pics on the first few pages of this thread? I would love to see if they are some I have missed in my many hours of searching online. I found this one today and forgive me if it's been posted before but I have never seen it. I love 'line-up' pics and Luciano pictures in general so for me it was a great find -

He died of cancer in 2000.



In 1909, Giuseppe Calicchio, an immigrant from Naples, began work for the Morello gang in Highland, New York as a printer and engraver of counterfeit Canadian and US currency. In 1910, the printing plant was raided and Calicchio along with his boss Giuseppe Morello and 12 other gang members were arrested. Calicchio received 17 years hard labor and a $600 fine, but was released in 1915.



In 1908, Antonio Cecala was a counterfeiter working for Giuseppe Morello. His career was short lived after he was convicted in 1909 of conterfeiting and sentenced to 15 years and a $1,000 fine.



Phillip Leonetti (b. March 27, 1953) seemed to pattern his life after his uncle, Philadelphia crime family boss Nicodemo Scarfo. In the 1980s, Leonetti was moving through the family crime ranks as a mob hitman, capo and then underboss to Scarfo.
After receiving a 55-year prison sentence in 1988 on murder and racketeering charges, Leonetti decided to work with the federal government as an informant. His testimony resulted in the convictions of high-ranking mobsters including John Gotti. In return for his cooperation he was released from prison after serving only five years.



Leonetti looks high or bored in the pic.

Referring earlier Photo by njcapo35.

The guy on the extreme right is the Bull's Brother-in-law Edward Garafola. Sammy disliked him but tolerated him because he was family. Garafola was among 19 wiseguys and brokers charged in a classic "pump and dump" stock fraud and money laundering scheme. Garafola, then 61 (year 2000), was specifically charged with trying to extort $100,000 from a stockbroker who, after pleading guilty to stock fraud charges, turned on his cohorts.

Here's an old quote from Gravano ""Comes October (1991) and I'm still not even thinking of cooperating," said Gravano."It's my whining brother-in-law Eddie, a whining motherfucker all my life, who puts the idea in my head. He's caused me nothing but trouble with his devious ways, always looking for the angle. A couple of guys in my crew wanted to whack him. You can't trust him, they said. But he's got a big edge with me. His wife is my sister and I ain't ever going to hurt her, even though he's treating her like shit."

Yes! He's a chameleon. He does manage to look different in a lot of pictures. There's a pic I posted of him where he is a dead ringer for Larry David.

I don't think the picture of him with hair is a hairpiece. I think he's only in his teens/early twenties in that pic?

Re: Rare photos - 08/23/14 07:40 AM

And just type in Ava D'Arco on Facebook and there are more there.

Really disturbing how not just the mobsters themselves but the actual family members glorify and revel in their father's/brother's lifestyles. Yeah your dad was "boss", "last of the old timers". Sound just like that idiot Vicky Gotti calling her father "the last of the mohicans". Only reason Al behaved after he became a rat is because the government allowed the little bastard to keep all the money he stole from the Lucchese family.

The lady sounds like an imbecile.

She shouldn't go as far as saying her pops was a "Man of Honor" There has been some debate as to whether d'Arco is a rat. Casso and Amuso were killing stand up guys out of paranoia, changing the rules of the game daily. There was an attempt to try to take out Casso but failed. When you live your whole life by a set of rules that are understood among men in the life then two friggin paranoid fucks change them what are you supposed to do? (Like I said they couldn't take out Casso) Your pals are all getting clipped you are next...

Linda Scarpa she's a disgrace so is her mother Shiro and Karen Gravano is disgusting but as for the d'Arco daughter she really does have a good argument cuz her pops would have died a stand up guy if it weren't for friggin Casso changing the rules of the game

Re: Rare photos - 08/24/14 03:58 PM

D'Arco is a thieving, devious rat.

Casso and Amuso were not whacking "everybody". That is a myth; just like the fairytale about Casso telling D'Arco he wanted to invite half the family to his house for a meal so he could whack all of them after. It sounds entertaining but it is a complete fallacy.

Sure D'Arco conspired to whack his bosses with Crea? What does that make him? Is it any wonder why Casso and Amuso wanted to whack some of their subordinates? Accetturro, Facciola, D'Arco and De Fede weren't driven to steal from the family or conspire with the feds. They did it on their own accord.

People like Casso, Amuso and their loyalists are scumbags and they are right where they belong but pond life pieces of shit like D'Arco belong there right with them.

At least guys like Amuso and Daidone stuck by their principles, sordid as they are.

I have no sympathy for D'Arco. Chiodo on the other hand was truly forced to rat.

You have pretty strong opinions about this crew especially D'Arco. Other than the authors of old news articles I've read referring to D'Arco as a squealer, not too many people write about D'Arco as being a lousy rat. They seem to sympathize with his choice to cooperate. As for Chiodo I agree with you completely.


I didn't hear about the after dinner whacking plan. On a documentary I saw there was mention that Casso wanted the whole Jersey crew clipped is that what you are talking about here?

He's a rat. Wanted to get even with casso and amuso but he hurt a lot of other people by testifying. He went in on his own terms could have just gave up them. And it's not all or nothing sammys entire crew was not fucked with by the Feds.

Yes. Big Cop Land fan here. Let's hear it.

Re: Rare photos - 08/25/14 06:02 PM

Cop Land Story

So I get a call from my Grandma she says guess what? We were walking home from Burger King to Aunt Mary's house; the streets were blocked there was a movie crew filming.

One of the fellas from the crew asked them which house do you live in? They told him. He said we wanted to use YOUR house for this film we were knocking on your door we needed electrical outlets too but now we see you were out. So we went down the street and used that house instead. He showed them see this road here it practically goes right into your driveway which would have worked perfectly for a scene we had in mind. That's why we wanted to use your house.
The house that belongs to Harvey Kietel's character Ray in the movie is in Cliffside Park. That could've been my Aunt's house in the film can you imagine, that would be so cool.

Back to the conversation:
So I ask what movie? What actors did you see? She says that Italian boxer. Who Rocky? Yea him. Who else? She says well these are young fellas I don't know their names. I told her oh Grandma "You are killing me". Can't you go ask someone on the block who these actors are maybe they know.

So this is the mid 1990's where you can't just go on the internet movie data base and look up what movie Stallone is gonna star in. I had to wait until the preview came out to find out what movie it was. It turned out that most of the actors were there including de Niro. I keep trying to find something online that shows de Niro was there in Cliffside Park cuz when I showed my grandma his pic she said yup he was there.

ALSO, it turns out that one of my cousins currently works for the production company who produced this film. Cool huh.

I love the scene with De Niro and Keitel. You can cut the tension with a knife.

the sammy davis jnr/carlo gambino photo looks strange...they look like a crazy double act


It just goes to show, you think you know someone and you don't.

It's hard to put a finger on it, but the weirdest thing about the Sammy Davis Carlo Gambino photo is that Sammy and Carlo are too physically close, almost too touchy feely. That is Carlo in that picture, in all his understated deadliness, getting roly poly with Sammy Davis. Unbelievable picture.

Strax, I assume you saw the blitz yesterday. DiMarco isn't the boss of Corleone, though. As usual, Italian media is quick to label someone as boss so they can slap them with stiffer charges.

Yes, but even he is acting boss. The official boss of Corleone is Riina, even today he holds that title.

That's been posted once before on here I think. Vito was such a opportunist lol. Helped Mussolini & the Axis, especially with the Carlo Tresca assassination. Got a nice title from El Duce himself for his help, and as soon as the Allies invaded he helps them, acting as a translator, helping root out the remaining fascist strongholds, among other things. All the while selling army equipment on the black market. Gotta love his entrepreneurship.

Re: Rare photos - 11/28/14 02:04 AM

Some people theorize that it was Michael Ciancaglini who was the real force behind the young guys and Merlino was basically his Gravano in some ways. I don't know how true that is but judging from the pictures Mikey Chang seems to be the more charismatic of the two, not just that but Joey's demeanor just looks like that of a #2 guy when photoed with Michael Ciancaglini. Sometimes you could tell a lot from a picture, but who really knows.

I couldn't agree more based on the clothes and the conversation taking place, but that could have been Mikey Chang arrangement issue and merlino as back up,st but if ya look at any of the stories and who did what it always seemed joey led the way. and akways had a crew of hitters.

just 2 cents

I always gave Merlino credit for being a stand-up guy and having a loyal core following. It's his "celebrity" that turns me off.

And it's that "celebrity" that will eventually put him away for good. Because you're spot-on about the Feds hating him. They're never going to give him any peace. Ever.

Lucibello in the middle. This is from the book The Goodfella Tapes by George Anastasia. None of those Philly pics and screen shots are really "rare photos".

And I'm sure The Goodfella Tapes was a #1 NY Times bestseller and is still widely available in all Barnes & Noble stores.

Give me a break.

I define rare by you can't find them on Google Images or in a quick Google search.

Yes. And the only reason they are legitimate now is because of the hundreds of thousands of dollars that was illegally funneled to them. They can afford to be legit now. And keep the feds off their radar.

My hats off to the 9 to 5 working man that actually works like a man to earn their corn and doesn't sit on their fat ass and divest money from people who literally and figuratively break their backs for little or nothing and then have to deal with the American healthcare system when their health invariably gives out from being a working man all their life from cot to coffin while these same nitwits we are talking about invariably end up crying poverty and inventing ailments for themselves when they end up in front of a judge.

I've got a question. Can anyone here name all of the individuals in this photo?



What I've got so far...
Seating(left to right): Joe Bonanno, no idea, Frank Costello, Lucky Luciano, Al Capone, John Gotti, Carlo Gambino, no idea.

Standing(left to right): John Gotti JR, no idea, Paul Castellano, no idea, no idea.


I know it's not a rare photo but hey...it's a photo anyway!
Posted By: HairyKnuckles

Re: Rare photos - 12/22/14 10:40 AM

Far right is Joe Profaci. Albert Anastasia is standing in between Gambino and Profaci. Second from left is Maranzano (based on the fake picture of him). The guy standing with Castellano is most likely Colombo. I don´t know who the guy standing with Gotti Jr is supposed to be.
Posted By: Snakes

Re: Rare photos - 12/22/14 10:50 AM

That's not Junior, that's Vito Genovese. Maybe the guy with him is Joe Masseria.

Yeah, you´re right. Genovese and Masseria.
Posted By: HairyKnuckles

Re: Rare photos - 12/22/14 11:35 AM

It´s interesting because there are some noticeable "messeges" in the painting. For example, look at the way Gambino and Profaci are looking at eachother when Anastasia "butts in" between them. Also, look at how Colombo is gesturing like he´s saying "come on, you want a piece of this?" and Castellano is trying to restraint him. Far left is Bonanno and Maranzano. Maranzano is showing with his hand "this is the way we´re going to do this" and at the same time shielding the two of them from the others (with his hand). Bonanno seems to look at him with suspiscion. Vito Genovese is nervous (touching his tie) in the presence of Masseria.
Posted By: CleanBandit

Re: Rare photos - 12/22/14 12:25 PM

Yeah. And look at John Gotti hugging Al Capone, as if he was saying:"They weren't on the TV like the two of us. And that's what counts."
Posted By: njcapo35

Re: Rare photos - 12/22/14 03:50 PM

I could be wrong, but i don't think that's Gotti Sr either... Judging by all of the "Old School" characters in the pic, my guess would be Marcello. ?

Probably because he's the most known mobster from his generation. And all of the guys in the picture alltogether had major roles in the mafia.

Re: Rare photos - 12/23/14 01:23 AM

I'd drop Colombo, he nothing really says "greatness" like drawing heat on all five families with publicity stunts and getting assinated for it.

I'm surprised that niether Ginacana or Accardo made the cut. Maybe put in Raymond Patriarcha for honorable mention. I'm kinda impressed that the artist even knew who half these guys are, usually these kitschy drawings are of Capone and movie stars pretending to be mobsters (Pacino, Brando, Deniro etc.)
Posted By: CleanBandit

Re: Rare photos - 12/23/14 04:39 AM

I found the drawing randomly when I googled Carlo Gambino. It's called The last sitdown.

This one, however, is called The Don's bluff.

Yes they were. But I believe Snakes is correct. It has to be Masseria, the guy next to Genovese. Benny says the guy far right is Lucchese, but to me it looks like Profaci. He could be right though. If it is Profaci, Lucchese is not there. He was a real snake. A great add to the painting would be Lucchese´s head peering out of something or a portrait of him on one of the walls. That would summarize his character in a great way lol.
Posted By: Snakes

Re: Rare photos - 12/23/14 08:35 AM

Actually, it does look a little more like Lucchese, whom I completely forgot about. Probably modeled after this photo:

For those who enjoy rummaging through old pictures, a stock photo company called Corbis acquired the pre 1991 UPI archive photos.

Obviously not everything is there and they are in the business of selling stock photos, so certain copyrights apply.
But there a lot of old mobster and crime scene photos available for viewing in there if you want to dig a little.

Sebastian John LaRocca :in front of the Allegheny Car Wash he owned, located at 100 Sandusky Ave, Pittsburgh


Born in Sicily on Dec 19, 1901, LaRocca gained control of the Pittsburgh family numbers' racket in the 1940's and at one time finaced and controlled several gambling casinos in West Virginia's panhandle.

In the early 50's, the immigration and Naturalization Service began deportation proceedings against LaRocca, contending he was an undesirable alien because of his conviction for larceny, receiving stolen goods and operating a lottery. However, then Governor John Fine granted a back dated pardon for the crimes and the INS case consequently was dropped.

I'm not sure.
In the ones I posted, most of those guys were burglars,fences, etc.
I suspect that any time they rounded up the usual suspects, they would take one of these shots.
That way, anytime there was a burglary, they could show these around and see if anyone was seen in the vicinity.

It also depends on where they may have been taken into custody, some areas did not follow or have protocol for documenting arrests. Or they did but the rules were not inforced since they might have been fishin for bribes.

Mighty Cesare!



He might as well be strolling the Cala Marina. Looks like lately his ghost may have returned to prompt the Gambinos (Francesco Palmeri )to go collect the money lent to Lorenzo Marsilio in the 80s! Anybody know why it is a Gambino and not a Bonanno who is doing the collection?

Also, would be thankful for someone posting a picture of the Roma Restaurant in Menlo Park, NJ (one of the epicenters of the Pizza Connection). Haven't see a single picture of that. Used to live in that neck of the woods and remember eating a couple of times in that very same restaurant. But the Mall's changed quite a bit from those days.

I do think it might be but cannot document the picture, so that makes me lean towards it not being him. However, the guy on Capones right looks like a Mick also ( no insult intended, Im Irish) - and also looks like a guest, so maybe they met and got along for a moment and someone snap this pic.

I will look into documenting the source of the picture, maybe it is rare.

Re: Rare photos - 01/16/15 11:45 PM



I'm pretty sure the guy on the right is Capones attorney Edward "Easy Eddie" O'Hare.

He later turned on Capone and helped the feds put him away. He was murdered in 1939.



Edward J. O’Hare’s auto rests against the trolley pole at Ogden Avenue and Rockwell Street after his murder on November 8, 1939. O’Hare died of two shotgun blasts as he raced his automobile northeast on Ogden Avenue near Rockwell Street in Chicago in a futile effort to outdistance the men who would kill him.

I might of been wrong about that Capone picture. According to Getty images it's a lawyer named William F. Waugh. The other guy is unidentified. Other sites say it's Easy Eddie O'Hare but either way it's definitely not Moran.

I used to read about Delbert Coleman in Russo's book Supermob.Del was a shady businessman and a big stock holder with close ties to Sidney Korshak, the Outfits lawyer and top fixer.Del also had ties to the Chicago Outfit,Cleveland mob and the mob in Milwaukee.Del was also connected to many high profile people,like bankers and politicians.He was mostly involved in the jukebox business and the Teamsters and was one of the owners of the Stardust and few more casinos in Vegas.To tell you the truth i really dont remember reading about him being an informer...all i knew that Glick was the one that gave information on him.
Posted By: Snakes

Re: Rare photos - 01/23/15 06:23 PM

Del Coleman (real name, Delbert) was a Harvard graduate and a fringe Outfit associate involved in jukeboxes who eventually became interested in purchasing Vegas casinos with his partner, Sidney Korshak, whom he met when Korshak represented him in his divorce from his wife.

He became an investor in Acapulco Towers, a hotel/resort in Mexico which was partly owned by Korshak and Eugene Klein (who at the time owned the San Diego Chargers), among others. Eventually, he sold his share of a Chicago-based jukebox company and took a controlling interest in a corporation known as Parvin-Dohrmann when the original owner (allegedly an associate of Meyer Lansky) retired.

After this (with Korshak as a behind the scenes co-conspirator/mastermind) Coleman and Korshak artificially manipulated the company's stock by giving insider tips to Korshak associates which in turn created interest in the company on the market. With the stock manipulation driving public interest sky-high (coupled with the 1969 Corporate Gaming Act allowing corporations to purchase shares in casinos) Korshak and Coleman attempted to initiate their "master plan", so to speak, by gobbling up casinos, with their first purchase being the Stardust Hotel and Casino (Korshak received a cool half-mil as a "finder's fee" for his part in the deal).

Not too long after that, things started to turn sour for both men when their stock activity was investigated and it was decided by Coleman and Korshak that it would be imperative to get out while the going was good, they would sell their shares for cash payments and leave the remaining shareholders with stock in Denny's Restaurants of all companies, which was attempting to buy out the Parvin-Dohrmann company.

Denny's got cold feet (ostensibly because of the company they would be dealing with to complete the transaction) and a Parvin-Dohrmann investor, with the backing of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, filed suit against Coleman and Korshak. Coleman caved almost immediately and agreed to resign, sell his controlling share to a voting trust, and testify against Korshak and other involved parties. Korshak lost hundreds of thousands of dollars and decried Coleman as a sworn enemy. Actually, it's a wonder Coleman didn't end up in a trunk considering who some of Korshak's friends were.

Before he left, Coleman managed to arrange a deal to sell the Stardust to a guy named Allen Glick, but that's another story entirely wink

well, in russos book "the outfit" hes guessing that the prime years were probably 40s to 1960 those years they took over a great number of legal busineses, and with all their associates they were like a little US army in Chicago.

he figures conservatively about a thousand sluggers they could call upon. not even mentioning they controlled half the police force, and hundreds of da's and judges.

I highly recommend the book, the power they had will astound you.

Bin, they are referring to the time Luciano got busted and gave up the location of a drug stash in return for his freedom.

That's pretty iffy because no one got taken down for that.

Was Luciano a type of informant in the sense that he was probably OSS (CIA) connected? I think yes. But not the type of informant like these guys in here usually talk about.

Giovanni "Big John" Ormento









John Ormento of 118 Audrey Drive, Lido Beach, New York. This man, known as "Big John" regarded by the Federal Narcotics Bureau as one of the most active and important narcotic violators in the United States. He has been convicted for violation of the Federal Narcotic Laws on three separate occasions during the past 20 years. In 1937, Ormento was convicted of violating the Harrison Narcotic Act and was sentenced to a three year prison term. During 1941, Ormento was again arrested for violation of the Harrison Narcotic Act, convicted and sentenced to an eight year prison term. In 1951, Ormento was again arrested and subsequently convicted for conspiracy to violate the Harrison Narcotic Act and was sentenced to a two year prison term.

Ormento was born and raised in the East Harlem area of New York City and has always centered his activities around the vicinity of 107th Street. He is generally considered a prominent member of the East 107th Street Mob. LE investigations and the convictions of Ormento have uncovered probative evidence which establishes that he has been associated through the years with Salvatore Santora and Joseph Vento and others, in an operation where they either smuggled or caused to be smuggled vast quantities of heroin and opium from Mexico, Italy and France to the United States, for distribution on a nationwide scale. In addition to these three narcotic convictions, Ormento was convicted of bookmaking in 1948 and fined $50.

On March 18, 1955, Ormento was arrested in New York City with one Salvatore LoProto, in possession of two loaded pistols, one a .38 caliber and the other a .22 caliber equipped with a silencer. These weapons were cached in a secret, electrically controlled trap built into the front seat of a 1952 Chrysler bearing New York license plate# PB3730, listed to Betty Licatta, 2073 Second Avenue, New York City. This woman is a sister of LoProto. The charge against Ormento was dismissed when LoProto alleged the guns belonged to him.

John Nicastro was a old time member of the Chicago Heights crew and close confidant of the old time bosses like Dominic Roberto, Jim Emery, Frank LaPorte and John Roberts.

I dont know if he was related to Pete Nicastro, member of the 42 gang.

@BarrettM First time i hear about that and to be honest i dont belive it.Confidant?Yes!Boss?No!First of all Dominic Roberto was the boss of the Chicago Heights crew untill 1933 when he got deported Emery inherited his position.By that time Al was in prison. LaPorte took over as boss after Emery in the 1950's

It looks like thats just another rumour spread around by money making authors.Same as Giancana Jr. and Corbitt when they stated that Hy Larner was the real boss behind Sam Giancana and the Outfit in general.

@binnie to tell you the truth i dont know but i think that the fight was not fixed.But you can never know what went on with these guys.All i know is that Tunney previosly borrowed some cash from Hoff so he became his manager and received percentage of Tunney's fights.

@Moe i dont think that theres anny blood relations between D'Arco and Capone.

Re: Rare photos - 04/25/15 07:08 AM

Nice he was a hit man with his brother gus alex in the 30s and 40s really feared them two . Sam Alex shot himself in the 1980s he was really ill so maybe he whacked himself because of it. Any more info on the brothers ? I read loads about them on Gus Alex FBI Files .

Re: Rare photos - 04/25/15 10:33 AM

I've seen most of these pics of Luciano Toodoped, but they rock nonetheless. The ones I haven't seen were a real treat. Thanks.

Photos tend to distort what people really look like. In each of Luciano's photos, he looks like a slightly different person. It's probably the same with the majority of people. I think the picture that probably looked most like Lucky in that set is the one taken in closer proximity while he is riding the train. It is entitled..."On board the Messina Termini train in Sicily". The very first picture is probably pretty accurate also. The majority of the other photos I think are distortions.

Yeah thats right. On the first photo is Frankie Fratto 100% but now since you and bronx mentioned Lou Costello im having doubts about the second photo...maybe it is Lou?!

I cant find any photo of Costello with white hair...or anything that confirms the two of them on that photo.Maybe you guys are right about Lou...

Heres the site that says Its Fratto and Rocky

Here is a confirmed pic of Rocky Marciano and Frankie Farrell taken shortly before the plane crash in 1969. That crash took both of their lives as well as the inexperienced 37 year old pilot.

Frankie Farrell, 28, was the oldest son of Lew Farrell, a former boxer who had known Marciano since childhood.

By the way, "Lew Farrell" was an alias for Outfit guy, Louis Fratto.

I'm pretty sure. I found that picture years ago on, I believe it was the Chicago Sun-Times' site and that was the caption they had for it.

The other picture is indeed from a person's personal collection. The person that took it, painted a copy of it and it was up for auction a few years back. I tried searching for the news story about it but came up empty. I believe the person that took it and painted the copy is a Nitti relative.

Here's a pic of the painting:

Yeah,you're right about giving credits. I have the book in hard copy.These photos that i posted can be found on the internet in the preview section so they are free for sharing. There are other photos in the book that cannot be found on the internet so i didnt post them.90% of the photos that are on the internet come from various books and newspapers.I dont make money out of it and nor does this site/forum makes money out of it.Anyways,thanks for pointing that out and welcome to the forum.I hope you have some interesting Outfit infos to share with us.cheers

I just know there are not any of those here lol I thought they looked like Pike though.

You're right on the Grandfather part. One look at Aiuppa there and you would never guess he was at the top of one of the nastiest mafia dynasties ever assembled in the U.S. panic

I think Carmine Fatico is a great shout - especially when comparing the footage to Fatico's 1958 mugshot.

NJCapo posted a photo from a book a couple of months back of a wrongly labelled Lucchese. I suggested it was Scalish but having seen the above footage, I think this photo is also Fatico from the same hearings.

Thanks for sharing fortunato. They are rare indeed. I notice the picture that is usually used for Frank Scalice is really a cropped photo of him and Luciano together. Interesting.

The one of Lucky Luciano as a little boy strikes me as genuine based on the unique configuration of the feet and the short straight legs.

All i can give you is a short info on this guy.Petrocelli started his criminal career as a collector for Outfit juice lenders and also as a hijacker of trucks during the 60's. One of his first associaes in the kidnapping and murder business was Harry Aleman. Together they were arrested in numerous kidnappings and also were questioned in many murders.Petrocelli was involved in the Billy Dauber murder and also the Moretti-Renno double murder. Petrocelli also belonged to the infamous Cicero crew known as the Wild Bunch which also included the leader Joe Ferriola and Rocco Infelice. He wasnt a likable person among other Outfit members and in the end suffered a horrible death because he schemed the Outfit.The guys involved in the Petrocelli murder were Calabrese, Monteleone, Jimmy LaPietra amd Santucci.

Re: Rare photos - 06/29/15 06:53 PM

Petrocelli had a long time rivalry with another guy in "The wild bunch" named Tony Borsellino. Eventually Petrocelli had him whacked because of some bullshit story that Borsellino was cooperating with law enforcement (he was not). But he bent the ear of Rocky Infelise (major boss back then) that Borsellino couldnt be trusted and even blamed him for skimming when in reality he himself was stealing the cash.

A real asshole even with Outfit standards and hated by many including Frank Calabrese Sr who described him as "a blowhard and a bully". He had a flamboyant behaviour and became even more unpopular in Outfit circles by coming on to the wifes of members in prison. Was eventually murdered by "the breeze" Calabrese on orders from Angelo La Pietra, boss of the Chinatown Crew/26th Street Crew.

Milano was considered part of the "old guard" and at the end of the day, if Milano didn't like it, Scalish went with whatever Milano said. In the Ohio River Valley, there were basically two factions by the 1930's, the Calabrese and the Sicilians. The Calabrese were part of the old Black Hand and had strong ties to the N'Drangheta as well as NY, Montreal and Austrailia. As the mafia was taking form and being more organized, some of the old Calabrese were held in the highest regard. While Scalish was boss, he truly wasn't independent of consulting Milano until the early 1960's when Milano was spending more and more time in Holmby Hills, CA where he had another home...if all that makes sense to you...there are deep rooted Calabrian ties in the ORV. In some parts, it still exists today.

But in this case, if Milano was the real power and Scalish just a puppet, why do people say that Danny Greene attacked the mafia only after it got weakened by Scalish's death and, had Scalish been alive, he would have smashed Greene with just one finger? I mean, Milano was more powerful and still alive when Greene started the war, but his authority doesn't seem to have impressed the Irish much, and it took quite some effort to kill him off.

Just my opinion but Cleveland were never all that strong, had a lot of earners (especially at the time Greene made a move) but not many killers. I mean they brought in Ray Ferrito and he got the job done after they'd been trying to kill him for years.
Posted By: Oscarthedago

Re: Rare photos - 07/07/15 02:48 AM

Thanks for your opinion. If you look back going back to the early 1900's, Cleveland was historically a very strong syndicate, starting with the Mayfield Road Mob, the Lonardo's and Porello's. Their strength was unions as Ohio has always had one of the strongest union bases in the country. Tony & Frank Milano along with Moe Dalitz, Sam Tucker and Morris Kleinman planted their flags in Vegas before many. In regards to Cleveland in the 1980's, I agree with you that Licavoli "made a mess" of a one strong syndicate and it crumbled. But historically, they were very strong. And Cleveland had many killers...many families had fuck ups on hits, many families missed opportunities...not just Cleveland. Leo Moceri, Angelo Lonardo, Whitey Besase, John DeMarco and Frank Brancato allegedly ordered many hits. They had hitmen all over the tri state area.

Milano died in 1978 and was semi retired by the late 60's. He spent his time setting up his sons dumb & dumber (Pete & Carmen Milano) out in L.A and by 1977, he was gravely ill and was out of the rackets. When Licavoli took over, he was seen as a buffoon. Keep in mind that John Nardi was Tony Milano's nephew and he sided with the Irishman. If Milano was still in the game, that war never would have happened.

Why do you think there would have been no war? Greene may have still tried to kill the mafia leaders including Milano, although he would have lacked Nardi's support then, but the Irish members of the gang would be still loyal to Greene, not Nardi or Milano I think.

When Milano and Scalish were strongly in charge, they let Greene earn (on his side of town). Scalish and Milano were businessmen and ALWAYS put money before violence. Especially Milano and Scalish, they did alot of business with other ethnicities besides Italians. Jack White was not the person Scalish wanted as boss, but Scalish's brother in law Maishe Rockman knew he could control Jack White whereas he would not have been in the loop if Angelo Lonardo was named successor (and should have been). Jack White was made fun of by the fellas behind his back...NO WAY Scalish chose him, it was engineered by Rockman who was always thirsty for power.

One of Barbaras nephews was a teacher at my high school. He had changed his name and was Mr. Barber. He taught accounting and business and was a cool guy. He would break balls and was tough as hell when needed to be. He never let anyone know who his uncle was but my father recognized him at a parent teacher night and they talked and hit it off. Off topic but interesting.

Stevie great pics man thanks for sharing..question and idk if this was asked and asnwered..but is Vince Iannece related to Charlie White?..and does anyone know is he still alive/locked up?
Posted By: PHL_Mob

Re: Rare photos - 08/03/15 02:30 PM

@mikeyballs- yes, Vince Iannece is one of Charlie White Iannece's sons (he has another son with the same name who is supposedly connected but I don't think he was made? He was also suspected of being a spotter in the Nicky Scarfo Jr hit in Dante & Luigi's) and is an alleged soldier in the Philly Family who ran with Joey Merlino as far back as the early 90s when they were the "Young Turks". You don't hear much about Vince, but word on these boards is that he is made and most of what the media reported on him was back in the early 90s when he was running around with Joey's crew and was also involved in several suspected mob connected hits (Mikey Ice Brennan and James DiAddorio I think?). He's been around the family as far back as the early and mid-80s when his father was active in the Scarfo family and was even rounded up and charged in the 1984 hit of Salvie Testa where he was accused of being a blocker and minor role player in that hit. He wasn't part of the 2001 RICO case of Merlino and those guys so I'm not sure exactly how active he was in the late 90s and even the 2000s to present, but he could just be very low key and "smart" as far as being careful in not getting caught. I'd be interested in hearing anything that anyone else has on this guy outside of what I've said here...

Well, one of Nicks sons may very well die in prison just like him, another died comatose, the other disowned him. Leonetti turned his back on him, his mothers dead. He has no familial support system.

Vic Amuso is nothing more than a figure head with a couple of loyal standby's at best. I'd say karma's still valid.

Hey sorry Mikey just saw this... Charlie White is out of jail but I'll be honest I haven't heard anything about him and quite frankly I'd be surprised if he was back in business or very active as he's well into his late late70s/early-to-mid 80s. Vince Iannece is in construction and pretty tied into the whole crew and I know he's right with Accardo (who also is low key these days and you pretty much don't hear anything about). This is just me speculating but I feel like these guys have a lot of real estate and construction stuff going on. I'm not talking like Genovese level labor racketeering but more like bid rigging and muscling in on jobs and flipping homes with stolen supplies or extorted construction work that kind of thing if that makes sense. But I digress, the other kid of Charlie White also goes by Chaz (same name as father) and was busted in like 2008 in a big and rather complex meth ring bust. Don't know much else on him except that he hung around Joey and those guys in late 80s and early 90s but not much else on him.

Re: Rare photos - 08/11/15 04:39 PM

Which Iannece kid was the one who supposedly went in and hugged and kissed Scarfo Jr, signaling the shooter (supposedly Merlino) to his seat in Dante & Luigi's?

I never really believed that theory myself as I know one of the Iannece kids were also really close to Scarfo Jr, during his coming up, when his father still had a hand on things. Theres pictures of them together and he's seen in some of the Scarfo Jr. court footage where he's wearing that trenchcoat. Coulda just been a big coincidence.

I, as a 20 yr. pupil on the scarfo sr. yrs. have a belief that it was in fact chaz, him being a few yrs. older & already in the scheme of things with dad..he was a blocker when they carried sal testa's body out of the candy shop & then "cleaned" the van after the crow & charlie white dumped the body.

Chaz was the one who delivered kiss of death. Chuckie and Sr were like brothers and he knew Nicky loved the mob nostalgia. He coached Joey on what to do so Sr knew where it was coming from and that payback for demotion and talks of taking out whole Merlino Family had come to fruition.

I never really believed that theory myself as I know one of the Iannece kids were also really close to Scarfo Jr, during his coming up, when his father still had a hand on things. Theres pictures of them together and he's seen in some of the Scarfo Jr. court footage where he's wearing that trenchcoat. Coulda just been a big coincidence.
I, as a 20 yr. pupil on the scarfo sr. yrs. have a belief that it was in fact chaz, him being a few yrs. older & already in the scheme of things with dad..he was a blocker when they carried sal testa's body out of the candy shop & then "cleaned" the van after the crow & charlie white dumped the body.


@hoodlum - Actually I was under the impression that Vince Iannece (other son of Charlie White) was a blocker for the Salvie Testa hit and also helped to clean out the van afterwards. He was actually arrested with everyone when they rounded that whole group up for the Salvie murder. Additionally, it was Charlie White's other son Chaz/Charlie Jr who was a spotter for the Nicky Jr hit. He was literally seen walking up to Nicky Jr's table in Dante & Luigi's and greeting him and his cousin who were eating. He proceeded to give Nicky Jr a controversial kiss on the cheek which was interpreted as a "kiss of death" before he immediately left the restaurant and then literally minutes later Joey/Batman walked in and blasted Nicky Jr right there at his table. The theory goes that Charlie Jr identified Nicky Jr in the table and then proceeded to tell Joey exactly where Nicky Jr was sitting as Joey when Joey walked into the restaurant he appeared to know exactly where to go and swiftly approached the table without pause or any doubt as to where the table was. The cops proceeded to make Chaz Jr take a lie detector test after he was identified as a suspect but he supposedly passed the polygraph and thus clearing him, but as we know those lie detectors can technically be beat/manipulated...

Isn't everyone in prison supposed to wear the same government issued clothing? Where did Scarfo get that green shirt and why is Amuso the only one wearing a V-neck?

I don't think we know for sure if Accardo is made or if he's even as involved as he used to be. We had a lengthy chat about him a few months back, but the conclusion was he's either smartened up and is just very low key similar to Vince Iannece or he was just close with Merlino. He was always around Joey in the 90s and also acted as his primary bodyguard along with being involved with gambling, loan sharking and the hijacking theft ring, which are the things we know about via wiretaps and court testimony (could be other stuff though but not sure). My guess is he got made when came back from jail and just smartened up and doesn't want to go back to the can and is real low key now. Someone on here on that old thread I mentioned said that they saw him last fall at some Italian Festival on Passyunk Avenue with a bunch of other mob guys/associates one of who was mentioned was Anthony Borgesi. As far as the construction comment, I'm not sure, but if I had to guess its predominantly in Philadelphia and maybe a bit in Delco but I think if anything mostly Philly and definitely S. philly. If anyone is interested I've come

Didn't know it was in a book, I haven't read Mobfather yet. I was watching a documentary on Caramandi the other day, and this was one of the pictures shown. I'd never seen this pic before, so I searched all over Google trying to find it. I couldn't come up with anything, so I took a screen shot from the documentary.

For you guys that have read Mobfather, would you recommend it? I was thinking about buying it but wanted to hear some opinions.

You should crop out everything and much more than you usually do, because you are taking private pictures that often include family members or friends that have nothing to do with the life. Showing Merlinos wife for instance is creepy as fuck, I couldn't give less of a fuck about them but it is still wrong. The fact you are only slightly cautious because you think they'll go private is unsettling.

True story.. Don't know u from a can of paint Stevie but i sent the guy the flicks, he didn't know any better , and my man above already said what it looks like.

Showing Merlinos wife for instance is creepy as fuck, I couldn't give less of a fuck about them but it is still wrong. The fact you are only slightly cautious because you think they'll go private is unsettling.


Wah wah...I was helping someone out in posting the pictures a lot of people were eager to see. I don't personally go onto instagram or know any of the accounts. I posted them as is, and I don't have photo shop or whatever and don't know how to edit. What are you doing besides complaining? Great contribution from Scotland bro!


No idea what you are talking about? I was talking to HandsomeStevie, if I was talking to you I would have quoted you.

True story.. Don't know u from a can of paint Stevie but i sent the guy the flicks, he didn't know any better , and my man above already said what it looks like. I should have told him to crop it out but I've seen Mazzone pics u posted in the past where u didn't crop out the name. So let's not make a big deal out of nothing.

There are a few posters that are just nit picking on this damn board instead of contributing anything or appreciating what has been posted on here.

Glad someone said it. This guy attacks everyone else for "stealing" and using "his" pictures, but they're pictures that he screenshots off of instagram. Which doesn't necessarily mean you know the people personally, because as we can see, Joey Merlino will pretty much add anyone who sends him a request and from there, whoever associates themselves with him who has an open account, is just added to the list.

Looks like Perna has an account also: https://instagram.com/joeperna1213/
They aren't posting "everything", even though to people on the outside looking in like us it might seem like it. I don't think they would post anything that could incriminate them.

That's a perna kids account

Well I am not gonna put where I got the pic from every time i post a picture lol. And a lot of you took that out of context. What I was saying about scott was that he basically made an article on his website about pictures that i posted on the forum. Plenty of people on this site have taken pics i have posted on GangsterBB and posted them in other forums such as the black hand and other sites and dont mention me and i could care less.

It's "alleged" Grande actual shooter in hit. To this day unsure why Grande wasn't pushed harder on the matter by LE. Did he have solid alibi? Any witnesses placing him at or near scene? Entire matter doesn't add up all around.

How do know how hard they pushed him?

And yes there was at leas tone witness I remember, a mail man...I think he described the height and called the shooter pudgy...but he had a mask on

With Nicodemo keeping his mouth shut what are they gonna arrest him on? Assumptions?

They have no proof.
Posted By: HandsomeStevie

Re: Rare photos - 09/05/15 04:09 AM

You never know, next indictment they could try throwing Grande in with murder charges. We will never know until it happens. I think Mazzone and them will have a decent run but theres no doubt about it they will get busted again. At least with gambling charges. I think Mazzone will prove to be a great leader. If he wasnt so close with Joey theres no doubt in my mind he couldnt be official boss with most of the family backing him. I doubt Joey calls any shots or is involved very much at all. just collects envelopes.
Posted By: HandsomeStevie

Re: Rare photos - 09/05/15 04:12 AM

Also I think with Chickie home finally, he could broker a sit down with Mazzone, Narducci , and Joe Pung and get everybody working together and making money. Imagine if they all said fuck the past, lets get this money together.. and Joe Pung was always a BIG money maker in the family. in the 80's when they all got indicted, theres a bunch of articles that has feds, judges, reporters, all saying how good Pung was and how much money he made.. Pungitore and Narducci are both the real deal. And if they worked with Mazzone they could really get that family going in the right direction.
Posted By: HandsomeStevie

Re: Rare photos - 09/05/15 04:47 AM

I never really heard of Phil Narducci being a really big earner. Just more of a tough guy that wasnt scared to pull the trigger anytime he had to. But im sure hes been around enough that he knows how to make a dollar.

Don't see how peace being made with Narducci is suddenly going to increase their cash flow just because they are friendly? The rackets they have are the rackets they have...so i dont see how joining forces is opening up some huge scam potential or something

I wonder how active Chickie really is though? The guy did 3 fucking decades in the can. That is an insane amount of time.

He is probably content to just advise here and there.

I wonder if he got a nice package when he came home, or if he got nothing?

Probably doesn't happen too often.
Posted By: gangstereport

Re: Rare photos - 09/05/15 10:08 PM

who knows that family is impossible to understand or predict what is going on. Until the next article or indictment we have no idea what is going on

I personally believe (high chance I am wrong) that Philip and joey pung have there crews going making money they kick up bit to steve and that's it end of. I think they are both happy running there crews earning and don't really care what goes on not part of any hierarchy or the mob they are both indepeant staying under the feds radar. The others joey, steve, johnny chang, marty, mikey lance etc they are running the family with scoops and big lou in north jersey and are ignoring the scarfo guys not associating with them.

I don't think anyone wants trouble none of them want to go back to the can.

I think if there was a major indictment that family could really collapse if joey,mikey, johnny and steve all got arrested I don't know who would take over who Is leadership material and I am not sure the scarfo guys are interested in getting involved maybe Philip but even he I think is happy

He is defo smart enough but I agree he would not want it plus he us what 74 too old now even if he wanted it. I think he will retire soon and big Lou will take over who I think will do a good job joey has taught him well.

I don't even know why he was indicted with ligambi and those guys he was caught on one tape talking about a mob induction ceremony but not once does he talk about business he was the only guy who got a acquittal in the first trial it was ridiculous he was even arrested joe and George they got mistrials but scoops everyone knew he should not have been there he even went for naps during the trial

Possibly!.....I only listed it as such because the new documentary said a teenage Leggio................, then showed that photo....It does look more like 20 something because his hair line isn't fully receded yet.... Thick wavy locks loaded with Paul Mitchell or Dippity Do.

Re: Rare photos - 10/15/15 05:23 PM

Nice pics and thanks for the info on Hohimer. Rugendorf was also involved in the Twin Food Products company together with Alderisio, Frabotta and Sam Battaglia. Both companies, meaning the Twin Food and the Harris-Sterling, were on juice to the Outfit. Rugendorf was even involved in another legitimate enterprise known as the I.S.P. Company, which was owned again by the Outfit. The "I" sttod for Irwin Weiner, the "S" stood for Sam Battaglia and the "P" stood for Phil Alderisio.

Re: Rare photos - 10/20/15 07:24 PM

Toodoped, your opinion carries a lot of weight with me.Ive really enjoyed your posts. Why I think this may be Accardo is that the picture was taken in Chicago in the early thirties.Thats confirmed by Corbis.The facial features are identical to the features of the confirmed Accardo pic you posted, especially the nose.Anyhow... If it is him it would be interesting to find out who the other two are. Keep up the great posts.

i deciced to post pictures of all the Detroit mob heavyweights




a young version of current detroit mafia boss jackie "the kid" Giacalone




jackie the kids father vito "billy jack" Giacalone. He is one of the infamous Giacalone brothers who were the force of the Detroit mob for 50 years. Died in 2012




anthony Gicalone the most feared of the brothers died in 2001 of cancer he is a prime suspect in the jimmy hoffa murder. Jackie Giacalone is his nephew.




Tony Zerelli the son of long time Detroit mob boss Joesph Zerelli.

Tony was handpicked to the boss of the family when his father joey died but tony was arrested and got Detroit LCN kicked out of Las Vegas this made his father to choose Jack Tocco to run things instead. When tony was released his father had died and jack was the boss to keep the peace he made tony his underboss till the infamous 1996 gametax bust jack tocco was furiours over the bust as Tony Zerelli was heard on tape and he was caught plotting to hurt a civilian this angered jack tocco and others as they believed he was responsible for the bust

his top assoiate jerome the blade was killed in 2002 partly to send a message to the imprisoned tony zerelli

this led to tony zerelli being shelved when he was released from prison in 2006 he begged jack tocco to let him back in but jack refused. Tony Zerelli died in 2014 broke and alone i bet when he was handpicked to be the boss back in the early 70s he never thought he would end up like this




infamous detroit mafia boss Jack tocco. He ran the family from 1979-2014 he ran the family for 35 years and is the longest serving boss in mob history. He died with millions in real estate he served only 18months in prison in his entire reign as boss there was rumerous of corruption in the 1996 gametax bust when he received 12months instead of 20 years





young version of current Detroit mob capo Paul corrado he is largely to blame for the gametax bust him and nocco tocco


[img]http://www.ganglandnews.com/images/picsAE/d'anna-giuseppe-thumb.jpg[/img]




Gisupee D`anna a capo in the Detroit mafia head of the siclian mafia he emigrated to america with his brother in the 90s currently on trial for beating a restuarent owner who refused to pay tax nearly to death in the streets in daylight in front of witnesses him and his brother. He was screaming "you know who i am"

in the second picture its him and his brother joe the hood is facing the same charges. Him and joe were hit on state charges 2012 but they got controversial leainet sentences both getting 6 months in prison the feds pissed they arrested him but on the rico act they are both looking at 20 years. Joe is 58 and gisuppe is 61 fairly young for LCN they will be a big loss for the LCN both are ambitious and deeply feared




frankie the bomb one of the most powerful capos ever in Detroit he got shelved in 2012 at 84 by current boss jackie Gicalone. These two hate each other dating back to the 90s it carried on into the 2000s frankies own son died over suspected intentional overdose.

Frankie used to deal with the bikers when he got shelved in 2012 the beef with the bikers and the mob heated up in 2014 it all kicked of after a top Detroit mobster with ties to jackie the kid shook down a biker lawyer for 50k. It led to thrashings of each groups strip clubs and the closure of all mob and biker ties. Only mobster suspected to be still dealing with the bikers is Gisupee D`anna. The beef with the bikers was settled by peter tocco in 2015




[img]http://www.streetgangs.com/billboard/dow...63d27866e2daac1[/img]

Peter Tocco, Jack "Jackie the Kid" Tocco, Peter Messina, Ronald Yourofsky, Wayne Kassab, Vincenzo Bronzino, Thomas Mackey, Alan Russel, Virginia Nava, Joseph Messina, David Aceto, Peter D. Tocco, William John Manettas and John Manettas

pictures to watch out for are the 12th one thats peter tocco the street boss of the Detroit mafia and nephew of longtime boss Jack tocco. Also David "davey donuts" Aceto who is currently a capo running frankie the boms old crew he is the fat guy the 11th picture

2006 Detroit mafia bust according to the indicment 5.9million was made between 1999-2005 . Nearly all the defendants plead guilty except for jackie the kid who went to trial and was acquitted on all charges





carlo bommernatio son of the legenerday frankie the bomb he died of an overdose in 2008 according to law enforcment they believe it may have ties to the mob that they gave him an overdose they knew would kill him billy jack gicalone according to informers was heard complaing about carlo and how he was a junkie and was considering killing him. His own father is a suspect



Anthony “Tony Pal/The Butterfly” Palazzola the current consgleire he is also in charge of the Detroit mob crew in Canada


[img]http://www.theoaklandpress.com/apps/pbcs...00&maxw=667[/img]


another pic of the general from the 90s


allen "the general " Hilf maybe one of the biggest bookmakers ever in Detroit this was a surviealnce picture in 2004. He held more power than most made guys was around since the 70s best friend was jackie Giacalone allan used to kick up 200k just at christmas to the boss he was a major earner right up to his death in 2014. His death has rocked the mob he is irreplaceable. He was 74.

kanas city mafia legends and heavy weights




nick civella the longtime leader of the Kanas city mafia a legend




Carl Civella brother of long time kanas city mafia leader nick civella




nephew of nick civella and son of carl civella he was convicted for his part of shacking down the casinos in Las Vegas. He ran from 1995 to his death in 2006 what was left of the kanas city mafia





Carl DeLuna long time underboss for the kanas city LCN with nation wide connections the film casino character Artie Piscano is based on carl DeLuna. In reality Carl was sentenced to 30 years in prison after finding the notes in his basement which they knew the directions through wiretaps. He died in 2008


[img]https://heavyeditorial.files.wordpress.com/2014/05/willy-.jpg?w=640&h=619[/img]

William "willie the rat" Cammansiro one of the most feared and intimindating men in Kanas City mafia history suspected in several gangland slayings and behind alot of mob violence in the 80s he ran the family through the mid 80s till the mid 90s where he died in 1995




said to be the current the underboss of whats left of the kanas city mafia he may even be leading it. He is seen as a hardcore gangster he has ties to the 1992 gangland slaying of john stranda a robber. In 1992 he got four years for money laundering in a video poker machine scam in 1997 he was blacklisted because of his mob ties and in 1999 he got 12 months for violating his parole




peter ribstate a mob assoicate here is a article about him he was blacklisted in 1999

http://lasvegassun.com/news/1997/may/16/binion-admits-to-loaning-100000/

http://gaming.nv.gov/index.aspx?page=206



this a picture of the cammansios. Willie junior is notorious for violence linked to several mob slayings in the 80s and 90s on tape willie senior said "my son he kills good".

He is a real gansgter the kid in my opinion he is running everything now he is what 68 that recent indicment shows whats left of it mainly relatives of guys from the past running a boom with no hierarchy

jerry the other kid is not known for violence


(not competly sure its him can someone tell me if i am wrong)

nicky A. Civella son of anthony civella in 2010 he was busted with a gun and meth he got 21months he is said to very wild

we all know who john gotti is



gene gotti john gottis younger brother gene was johns favourtie brother he saw him as smarter than the rest though he and gene did get frustrated with each other john was not happy that gene got made before him and he was angry he tried to fix the jury in the herion case without his opinion. Gene was angry that john was getting to much public attention and that he was giving him a hardtime and his attitude

gene is currently serving a 50 year sentence for drugs he is up for parole in 2017



peter gotti johns older brother he took over the family in the early 2000s he got there because of john not a great boss john thought he was dumb but by that time most of the gottis were in the can peter is serving a life sentenace for conspiracy to murder among other charges




richie senior gotti he is said to run the old gotti crew out in howard beach

[img]http://cdn4.static.ovimg.com/m/068ltz/?width=150[/img]

richie gotti junior he is in his 40s was released in 2015 son of richie v gotti and john gottis his uncle he is a top guy in howard beach





this is vinny gotti one of the gotti brothers. john gotti senior hated vinny telling the gambino family no one was to have anything to do with him vinny is a rapist he always wanted in no one would give him his button john junior jackie the nose until finally peter gotti in an attempt to keep the gotti name alive inducted him into the family well it was a disaster look at the bakery shooting currently in prison for the shooting




his story is well known


[img]http://bitterqueen.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8342adfcf53ef010536f7d22a970b-800wi[/img]



charles carneliga brother of john carneliga. Charles was nuts linked to mass killings i mean kevin mchanon said he would keep tons of acid in his house and kill guys for fun the man was a coke head nut job.

He shot dead a court offical he was aqquited of it but he is still prime suspect him and his brother johnny. He was convicted of stabbing one of nicky corezzos assoiates to death back in 2009 in one of the four murders he was convicted of. He killed the assoicate in the 70s nicky corezzo wanted charles dead but john gotti and johnny carneliga appealed to neil who ruled in johns favour but after that nicky c always held a grudge.

He burnt john faveras body in acid then lobbed the bones in angelo ruggeriors soup grin

kevin mchanon used to babysit him to make sure he did not say things he did but they fell out in later years when charles killed a man in a robbery this kevin was the driver on they became wary of each other it was one of the murders he was convicted of. Kevin was also there when charles killed Louie DiBonano. Charles was never an earner he hated junior gotti because he did not like the way junior treated his brother john carneliga

charles was such a shit earner junior used to pay him 500 a week to keep him loyal charles was good to have around he was a killer anyway when he got busted for shacking down a strip club in the early 2000s he grew a beard which pissed of the guys in the can with him because it was annoying them he kept growing it charles did not assoicate with the mob guys all the guys he liked had flipped, were in the can and dead he did not like the new generation. Of course no one had the balls to tell him of charles is crazy

when he got out of the can he stayed out he was a brokster but the feds could not let him go out of the mob or not when kevin mchanon,alite ruggerio, peter zuccaro and that fraud guy flipped he was fucked

kevin was annoying and treachours fuck he betrayed the carneligas who adopted him when he was homeless irish kid on the streets and they gave him a home. He was no one without the carneliga name plus no one liked him anyway even junior shot him once in anger

yearh thats what i heard. Apparently guys were jealous of louie because he was close with arnold and that he never did any time until the 2005 bust.

Jack falcone said they did not even know louie existed and they thought sica was a low level soldier before the undercover investigation.

Great rare photos Moe. Had not seen any of those - especially the Philly guys and prison photo of Vinny Basciano.

Gangsterreport Tony LaPiana's photos are probably online somewhere because he's so involved in Italian organizations and golf outings. Grey hair with black wings and black mustache.

Powerful mobsters

genovese capo in charge of operations in springfield till he was whacked in 2005

2nd picture is of his funeral



Anthony Arillotta genovese soldier/capo he was behind the 2005 murder of his own boss he got the permission of the leaders in the bronx then he paid a hitman to do the murder frank roche. He flipped in 2010


[img]https://thenypost.files.wordpress.com/2013/12/child-porn1.jpg?w=300[/img]
arthur Nigro the one time acting boss of the genovese family he gave the green light for the bruno murder in 2005. He was based in the bronx he grew friendly with arillota a springfield associate he inducted him into the Genovese family and used him as the shooter in a shooting of a union offical. He had bruno killed because he felt bruno was not kicking up the full amount of money and that arillota told him bruno was a long time FBI rat. Nigro is doing a life sentence for the murder




gambino underboss tony megal right in 1989





Dean DePetra was said to be one of the top guys in the latest bust in connecicut. From what i hear he is not made



frank piccolo long time gambino leader of conneticut died in 1981



raymond long john Marananto grand jury in the 80s



Vincent LoScalzo said to take over the trafficante family after santo trafficante died in 1988


[img]http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/mafi...=20131121230528[/img]

Steve Bruno Raffa took over all rackets in South Florida for the trafficantes it was an attempt to keep the family alive but in 2000 him and 19 others were indicted rather than go to trial he killed himself



joe todaro senior was the one time leader of the buffalo mafia a legend in the 90s was followed to a meeting with jack tocco the leader of the detroit mafia




joe todaro junior he was the boss through the 90s and early 2000s he was also the underboss from the mid 80s+



herbie Blitzten with ties to the old spiltro crew ran a major loansharking ring los angles mob members and buffalo mob members killed him in 1997 this brought major heat on both familys and is arguably the reason both familys no longer exist




johnny pops pappelia who ran the buffalos mob faction in canada since the 60s was killed by a hitman in 1997

Was Matt Capone involved in The Outfit post-Capone? Didn't know there was a Matt Capone. Just thought there was Al, Bottles, Frank and the one who turned cop then circus performer and changed his name. I tell ya, Matt looks just like a young version of his more famous brother.

Re: Rare photos - 11/03/15 01:49 AM

Matt was more involved than any of the other brothers after Al's imprisonment. He ran Cicero before Aiuppa and then retired to Wisconsin, I believe.

I dont know much about the other Capone boys but i think that you're confusing Matt with Ralph who was the one that ran things in Cicero with Campagna, Heeney and Maddox. I think that Ralph ran Cicero untill 1948 and then his son committed suicide in 1950 and thats when he decided to retire. Later he was filthy rich and went to Mercer, Wisconsin and ran pinball machines independently. Campagna took over in 1948/49 untill his death in 1955. I know that Ricca always gave the top positions to the Italians but during this period things were different so after Campagna's death Maddox took over the area untill his retirement in 1957. After Maddox, Aiuppa was the one who took control of Cicero.

As for Matty, he was also lurking around Cicero but he wasnt involved in anything big or maybe he wasnt involved in anything at all. Although he was once involved in a murder during a drunken brawl in the mid 1940's i think and was also in constant debts to Humphreys and the other guys because he was a drunken bum.

That picture is so circulated. I can name everyone in it off the top of my head. Paul Castellano, Greg DePalma, of course Jimmy Blue Eyes, Tim Marston, Carlo Gambino, Jimmy Fratianno...Woops, I lied. Lol. Thats another Gambino sitting down in the front in a black suit and Richie Fusco next to him.


And I read an article on Matt Capone a few days ago. It said he owned a tavern or something and a guy was murdered in the tavern, only three people we're inside at the time, Matt, the victim and the witness. Matt ended up getting tried for murder but the case was dropped because the witness went missing.

We do need some folks to look at the thread before posting some pics because they are already in here. Not trying to be a dick because some of the pics haven't been seen and y'all are doing a great job. It just sucks to see a new post and come in and see a pic we've seen in this same thread before.

But all in all, great job!

Re: Rare photos - 12/02/15 03:08 AM

What I love about this great thread is clicking through and looking at truly rare photos that most haven't seen before and are very hard to fine. When people start flooding the thread with random pics that most have already seen and can easily be found on Google and books that the average mob buff have read, then it gets annoying. It ruins this gem of a thread. And if you complain about clicking through 85 pages of great rare pics, then you obviously don't get what the thread is for.
Posted By: goldhawkroad

Re: Rare photos - 12/02/15 08:37 AM

Stop this complaining bullshit or contribute yourself.

What is so terrible annoying with scrolling down a few pages? Myself I rather search for the poster, if for instance Toodopeds posting something I know its quality Outfit stuff. So what if that picture of Frank Sinatra and Carlo Gambino was in the earlier post for the 200th time.

Toodoped,

The pic of Torrio, is that a big scar on his neck? I remember the pics of him after the failed hit and he had his neck covered, but I'm wondering that the pic you posted if his neck looks as bad as it looks in that pic? Since it's not in color it's really hard to tell. Some great pics there!

How are prisoners allowed to dress like that? A few of them have proper jail attire but, some of them look like they just got in from playing 18 holes.

Also, isn't owning a leather belt or any belt, against jail policy? Perfect weapon to strangle someone and Carmine knows about choking people.

The prison system today is shit compared to how it used to be. In New Jersey you used be able wear your own stuff , family could bring up to 60 pounds of food, etc.. It's not like it use to be. That's the Feds in that pic and at a time when prison was a much easier place to deal with.

Re: Rare photos - 12/31/15 05:11 PM

The prison system should be strict but you should be given certain rights. When you come off the yard and the CO tells the whole tier to lock in without showering, that is unsanitary. When a CO hides a shank in your cell and tells you that you have five minutes To find it or you're going to lockup and consequently charged with a street charge that is not ok. You have many people serving time who are not violent and are not incarcerated for violence. But this is a rare photos thread so I'm not gonna go much further. I don't know if you're trying to be funny or what.

They were involved in the shooting of South Side gambling boss Martin Quirk and also maybe in the murder of Danny Stanton, who also a South Side mob boss. Quirk and Stanton previously were Outfit associates but later tried to take over or refused to share some of the operations. My opinion is that those three guys worked for Outfit South Side gambling boss Sam Golfbag Hunt

Tony (did the real estate)and his brother Jimmy at the Akron Sicilian Club (numbers). After Scalish - then it was Jack White and Leo "Lips".

Leo was sent down to Akron on the numbers - everyone hated him.
Leo was done away with...

Jack White and Tony DelSanter were going to get rid of Danny Greene...

Northeast Ohio is pretty fluid country

Cleveland/Akron/Canton/Youngstown - then the Pittsburgh influence - others have already told you about.

Don't want to muddy the thread about "Rare Photos" as the main topic.

note that this part of Catanzaro province is now Vibo Valentia. all the anastasio brothers were born in Parghelia, a small fishing village directly to the north of Tropea

ANASTASIO-ANTONIO 1906 Catanzaro, Calabria / USA 1922.

Alias – Tough Tony

Relations – Umberto, Giuseppe + Gerardo [Brothers], J + A.Scotto [in-laws], A.Anastasio [Nephew].

Associates – C.Lombardozzi. J + F.DioGuardi [Lucchese], C.Bonasera + J.Oddo [Colombo].

Source – 1969 list / Dead by 1975 list.

One of 4 infamous brothers from Calabria, who headed an important faction within the Family. He, and brother Giuseppe, jumped ship in NYC in 1922. First arrest for Homicide in 1925, again with Giuseppe. Unable to convict them, the authorities deported them back to Italy. They returned in 1929, and using brother Albert’s influence, found work on the Brooklyn Docks. Tony soon became a power within the ILA, and controlled several piers for the Family. To gain this position he needed to use violence, as shown by arrest’s for Assault in both 1946 and 1952. Naturalized in 1940, and believed to have an interest in a Stevedore company.
With Albert becoming Boss in 1951, his position in the Family was strengthened. But in 1957 Albert was murdered and, under his successor Carlo Gambino, Tony lost prestige. He was forced out of his Union position, to be replaced by his son-in-law Anthony Scotto. Embittered, he talked to the authorities, but before he could be debriefed he died [1963].


ANASTASIO-GIUSEPPE 1905 Catanzaro, Calabria / USA 1922.

Relations – Umberto, Antonio + Gerardo [Brothers], Anthony [Nephew].

His early years are closely connected to his brother Antonio. Jumped ship together in NYC in 1922. Arrested together for Homicide in 1925, and deported together. Returned together in 1929 and, using brother Alberts influence, found work on the Brooklyn Docks. However, Giuseppe [Joseph] was never as important as his brothers, continuing to work in obscurity for both the Family and the ILA until his death in1956.

Re: Rare photos - 01/06/16 04:28 AM

In total, there were eight brothers and one sister.

Raffaele, Francis, Albert, Anthony, Joseph, Gerardo, Louis, Salvatore, and Mary. Louis emigrated to Australia. Salvatore was a priest in the Bronx for several decades, before returning to the Tropea area in the 1960s after the death of Anthony. In terms of mafia involvement, four brothers were members -- Albert, Anthony, Joseph, Gerard. As for the two eldest brothers, Raffaele and Francis, I do not know if they ever left Calabria.

It is worth noting, however, that the 'Ndrangheta does not have deep roots in this part of Calabria. The mafia involvement is something that most likely began for the brothers upon their arrival in America, on the docks of Brooklyn
Posted By: dominic_calabrese

Re: Rare photos - 01/06/16 06:07 AM

not a rare photo -- my guess is that his father was Giuseppe “Joseph” Anastasio



Sunday, May 2, 2010 -- An 81-year-old Gambino soldier on the verge of heading to prison killed himself in his Brooklyn kitchen, officials said Saturday.
Anthony (Todo) Anastasio pumped two bullets into his heart Friday morning, just days before he was due to start a 2-1/2-year term in federal prison on convictions for racketeering, extortion and arson.
Anastasio, whose uncle was the legendary Murder Inc. boss Albert Anastasia, was supposed to surrender to authorities May 10, officials said.
"It was a sudden death and his family is in mourning," said Anastasio's lawyer Paul Bergman, declining further comment.
The mobster's wife found him sprawled in the kitchen of their Dyker Heights home at 7 a.m. Friday, officials said.
A .22-caliber handgun, two shell casings and a suicide note written by Anastasio were found, police said.
Investigators believe Anastasio killed himself rather than face jail, sources said.
Anastasio was convicted in October after prosecutors played a recording of the mobster bragging about the Gambino family's illicit grip on the city's waterfront. He was found guilty of extorting a trucking company, a bakery in Brooklyn and ordering the near-fatal torching of a Dunkin' Donuts.
The aged gangster could have been sentenced to up to 20 years in prison but a Brooklyn judge gave him the significantly shorter sentence after reading letters from his family, friends and golf partners.
He was slated to be sent to a prison only a few hours' drive from his 82nd St. home so his family could visit.
Investigators said the mobster was in good health and not battling any serious illnesses that might have prompted a suicide.

From "Labor Noir: Murders and Funerals on the Brooklyn Waterfront" -- http://transportworkers.org/node/1618

Gerardo “Gerry” Anastasio was a business agent in Local 929; and Giuseppe “Joseph” Anastasio became a foreman for the JW McGrath Steamship Co.

I don't have any firm info on that, though I wouldn't be surprised. Sabella (49 in 2004, which would make him 60 today) is a little to young to be Michael's son, but Micheal (born 1911) was in his early 40s around the time Joseph was born, so that relationship is plausible, or a nephew.

The guy john keys was Bruno's cousin I never understood why he got whacked. Did he sell out his own cousin or was he a threat to Phil testa.

By contrast, Gravano remembers every detail of the hit on Simone. "Johnny Keys,'' as Simone was known, was a "real man's man,'' Gravano wrote.


Simone was murdered because after Bruno was rubbed out, he talked with Gambino family overseers about his prospects for taking over the Philly clan.



The national Mafia commission already had agreed that Philly's Nicodemo "Little Nicky'' Scarfo would succeed Bruno, a cousin of the Gambinos, and Scarfo told the group Simone would have to be removed for him to be sure the New York family wasn't plotting against him.

"I felt terrible that a man with such b — — had to be hit,'' Gravano wrote. "But this was Cosa Nostra. The boss of my family had ordered it. The entire commission had ordered it. There was nothing I could do.''

Simone was snatched from the Sky View Country Club at the airport in Washington Township and driven to Staten Island for his execution in September of 1980, five months before Stillitano was murdered.

On the way to his death, Simone, 69, knew what was coming and suffered a heart seizure. Gravano said he insisted on taking one of his heart pills so he could die like a mobster, by the gun.

When they got to the killing ground in a patch of Staten Island woods, Simone took his shoes off and told Gravano: "I'll walk out (of the van) on my own. Let me die like a man.''

Gravano said Simone "took a couple of steps away from the van. Without a word, he lowered his head, quiet and dignified. The shot immediately leveled him to the ground. He died instantly. He died without pain. He died Cosa Nostra.''

Thinks are great NJ. Hope you're well my friend. That was a great story. I wonder if it was just something he chose to do and told his wife that if he was bare feet he died he was thinking of her or was it for Cosa Nostra? Have you ever heard of this before? I've never herd of it, but he did go out like a stand up guy.

That part of Gravanos book underboss along with the other killing he did with the Philly Mob was the best parts of the book.The other was the thing where Scarfo took out the Irish guy Frankie "steele."In Leonettis book he says the Simone thing was going on during his Scarfos and Merlino murder trial of Vincent Falcone.But Leonetti states on page 104 that it was for plotting against Phil Testa.That Testa was still alive and Simone was plotting against him.Gambino capo Nicky Russo was sending messages from Johnny Keys to Big Paul about Simone taking over the Philly-Atlantic City mob.Nicky Scarfo reports this to the Genovese and Bobby Manna takes it to Gigante.Next thing you know Manna tells Scarfo they are sending A Gambino soldier named Sammy Gravano to talk to them about it.He told Scarfo that this Gravano was "your kind of guy".Respected by all the famalies.I had always though that Johhny Keys was plotting against Scarfo not Testa

NY originally thought Scarfo was going to take over for Bruno until he passed it to Testa, so maybe that's were the confusion lies. Either that, or Gravano used it as an opportunity to talk a little about Scarfo in his book. Regardless, Simone was probably plotting to take over from when Bruno was killed up until he got it himself.

Just an FYI...even though I know he said he was Irish in the book, Frankie Steele was actually nicknamed Frankie Stale, which is short for Stillitano.

Not sure, I got it off of pinterest (which is a goldmine for rare pics), if you look carefully there is an address there that it may have been originally come from Real Deal (if that violates any rules, I'll remove it).

I almost didn't repost it because the areas around Luciano's and Capone's heads looked a little "funny", but the man on the left is a dead-ringer for Terranova and I have not seen any photos of him taken from that angle with his head-titled.

The shadowing on thier necks all match as if the sun was to thier back at a 2 to 3 o'clock position in front of the photographer (to the left shoulder of capone-luciano) and thier faces are all partially backlit, so if it is a photoshop someone put a lot of effort in to it.

The real question is when and where was it taken, Masseria was killed on April 10th 1931, Capone was convicted on October 18, 1931 and sent to prison the following Spring and Maranzano was also killed that October.

The way I figure it, if genuine, it is only at the summer 1931 "national conference" in Chicago where Maranzano had himself crowned "Capo di Tutti Capi" that these people could have been in the same room together.

These ones I don't know whether they can be considered "rare" enough for the topic, but the gangsters in question are certainly not so well known as they theoretically could be, considering what they did in Akron in the 1910's: this group, headed by Rosario Borgia (considered the n.1 racketeer in Akron at the time), tried to expand their extortion sphere of influence on the big business and prominent people in Akron, Ohio and was so persistent that even the local police refused to be bought off, so Borgia could think of nothing better than putting a bounty on the whole police department, paying a certain sum of money for each murdered policeman (4 policemen were killed before the arrest of the gang and another one after that). Eventually some of them, Borgia including, went to the electric chair (another example contradicting the statement that Lepke Buchalter was the only mob boss to be executed in USA).

Dominic, thank you I should have done more research on this one. It is "Tommy Gambino" but a Thomas Gambino who was a boxer who strangled an unemployed waitress in New York in 1950s.Not Don Carlo's son, apparently this has been posted as attributed as being the Thomas Gambino we're thinking of on a few places on the internet. My apologies to all.

I almost didn't repost it because the areas around Luciano's and Capone's heads looked a little "funny", but the man on the left is a dead-ringer for Terranova and I have not seen any photos of him taken from that angle with his head-titled.

The shadowing on thier necks all match as if the sun was to thier back at a 2 to 3 o'clock position in front of the photographer (to the left shoulder of capone-luciano) and thier faces are all partially backlit, so if it is a photoshop someone put a lot of effort in to it.


Even when you look beneath the water, you can see what type of bathing suits they were wearing. The style that is visible just beneath the surface of the water matches the styles you would find in the 1930s or late 1920s.

Really of all the pictures widely known of all three individuals pictured there, no other photos look quite like the way the three of them are pictured there, as if the photos were borrowed and copy/pasted into a pool scene. The likenesses of the three of them at the pool all look original.

I'm not sure on that, you would have to ask one of the Appalachian experts on that. He became hot talk after teaming with Frank Costello and putting gaming machines all over New Orleans. He was pretty well known, so I'm not sure how they goofed on that one.

Re: Rare photos - 06/19/16 03:30 PM

I don't think it was "set up". Sure racial tensions were at an extreme level in that period of time but I feel like these guys fed off the attention they received from each other and by extension everyone else around them. Gangsters and celebrities loved that shit. It's more awkward to say, "Especially in the 60's when blacks in America were starting to think and live on their own terms". Not trying to pick a fight but this sounds a bit fucked up.

Perhaps what's lost in your take is that Gambino looks like he wants to run for his life, and Sammy Davis Jr. looks like his smiling at his mother's behest while taking school pictures.

This is not a picture of a gangster and a celeb being chummy. It's a capture of a very awkward moment in Frank Sinatra's social circle.

Man, Gotti was "dapper". There's no doubt about it. Look at those teeth. They're perfect. His hair looks as if he has it done hourly. He didn't just throw some LA Looks gel on that. He has a clean enough shave that passes the test of future high res photo technology, something that buries a lot of celebrities from the pre internet era. A "rare" photo of Gotti would have to be one where he's unshaven and wearing shorts and flip flops.

Those guys knew how to dress. I've only been to one restaurant where a coat is required. Whenever I go on a cruise, I always bring enough suits to wear every night to dinner. People dont seem to care about appearance as much as they used to. It's a fucking shame I tell ya. Nobody even knows what a french cuff is nowadays. When I drop off my slacks at the cleaners, press em, extra starch and these fuckers better stand up on their own. Lol

I didn't recognize Giancana in that pic either. Didn't Giancana get a little scruffy in his later years like a typical '70's guy?

I searched "Sam Giancana, Mexico" on google images and came up with this dandy.

in the book "Havana nocturne" it talks about the meet in 1946 I believe when lucciano came over from Italy, lucciano always hated vito, never trusted him, in the book it says lucciano beat up vito in a hotel room, another book." the last testament of lucky lucciano" the same thing is related, vito was a real snake to those who knew him, and unlike other dons, vito would kill at the drop of a hat.

My opinion on the Drury case is that he was killed for two reasons, one was the exposure of the Outfit's operations and the other one is for his alleged swindling of the mob.

Drury mainly worked to expose corruption in the Chicago Police Department and during the 1940's he was suspended from the police department. Later he became a crime reporter for the Chicago Herald-American and the Miami Daily News and In 1950, when Kefauver launched an investigation into organized crime and Drury was the one who provided most of the testimony.

Regarding his alleged schemes, Drury allegedly once threatened a witness to make positive identification on James Ragen’s slayers, including Lenny Patrick, Dave Yaras and William Block. Drury and one of his partners were called by a grand jury for conspiracy and later they were suspended. Allegedly Drury also tried to blame Patrick and Yaras for the murder of Bugsy Siegel in Los Angeles.


Drury was in very bad shape with Jack Guzik and so I believe that Guzik was the one who screamed for Drury's demise and Ricca, Campagna and Accardo gladly approved it.

Now, regarding Drury's killers,there were three suspected so-called hit squads, one was the imported killer from Brooklyn, New York, Tony Rotondo. The story came when some guy who was arrested for something over there, told the cops that Rotondo was in fact Drury's killer and that he took a lot of cash for the job.

The second group of suspects were the so-called Three Doms, Dom Nuccio, Dom DiBella, Dom Brancato and the third group of suspects,info which was received from an anonymous phone call that Fat Leonard Caifano, Sam Marcelli and Charles Nicoletti were the hit team on Drury.

So the plan seems to be, Scarfo will get out in 2033. He will then proceed to land a helicopter wherever they are house his buddy Vic at the time, the. He will go chopper into Bobby Mana's jail house and if he has room in the chopper, he will go pick up his son.......Then fly to NYC and re establish order.

The "hook" thing was a myth. It actually referred to juice loans, i.e. LaPietra had a guy on "the hook" for 5k.

Bonanno's I believe? Sherlock Holmes over here. News update folks...Gerry Chilli is a Bonanno member. Chilli has been a well known member of the Bonanno Family for almost 50 years. Originally part of the Lower East Side Bonanno crews out of "present day" 2 bridges area. Many many Bonanno guys from that area. Benny "lefty ruggiero" whose main hangout was the Holiday bar at 116 Madison. Tony Mirra, whose main place was the Bus Stop Lunch.. at 115 across the street. A big time player back in the midst of the Banana Wars Frank Mari had a social club at 43 Madison.The main Capo back in the day was Little Moe Presinzan whose main HQ was The Paris at 118 South Street. The genovese still have a presence in the area, Acting Street Boss Petey red DiChiara has an active social club at 43 Market street, not far from the other old clubs. Not only that but at 100 Madison was a conglomerate of the Genovese, Colombo, and Bonanno Families container repair business.

John Gotti? Yes, obviously. Frankie Loc? No way, Frankie was 6 years older and wasn't even that close to Gotti in the late 70s when it was obvious that pic was taken. The guy in the photo was a little known hanger on of the Bergin crew in the late 70s.

Possible Outfit member Ignatius Spachese a.k.a. Ned Bakes in 1965 on charges of income tax evasion. He was very close friend with Ricca and Nitti and also union leader Pete Fosco. Bakes was Fosco’s main lieutenant and precinct captain on the city’s West Side. In 1969, the feds arrested this guy with 14 million worth of stolen stock certificates, later he was paroled in 1973 and the Outfit took care of him, by playing him the trunk music in 1975


Outfit enforcer Peter DeStito hidding his face from the press in 1969


Juice collector Patrick Ricciardi with hand on face in 1972. Ricciardi was also Phil Alderisio's cousin


Karl Hattam leaving juice racket hearing in 1966


Juice collector Vic Musso in 1964


Policy operator Tom Charles Pierson in 1951, who worked for Sam "Golf bag" Hunt on Chicago's South Side


Former Outfit associate Robert Lindeloff who testified during the Senate Racket Hearings in 1959, regarding the jukebox operations


Fred Evans (right) considered ex-Capone member, union racketeer and one of the financial brains of the organization. He was killed in 1959.

Bonanno's I believe? Sherlock Holmes over here. News update folks...Gerry Chilli is a Bonanno member. Chilli has been a well known member of the Bonanno Family for almost 50 years. Originally part of the Lower East Side Bonanno crews out of "present day" 2 bridges area. Many many Bonanno guys from that area. Benny "lefty ruggiero" whose main hangout was the Holiday bar at 116 Madison. Tony Mirra, whose main place was the Bus Stop Lunch.. at 115 across the street. A big time player back in the midst of the Banana Wars Frank Mari had a social club at 43 Madison.The main Capo back in the day was Little Moe Presinzan whose main HQ was The Paris at 118 South Street. The genovese still have a presence in the area, Acting Street Boss Petey red DiChiara has an active social club at 43 Market street, not far from the other old clubs. Not only that but at 100 Madison was a conglomerate of the Genovese, Colombo, and Bonanno Families container repair business. You can disagree with my political opinions, but don't ever say I don't have anything to offer when it comes to Italian-American Organized Crime in NYC.Been researching it since I was 15. Over 20 years ago.


NICE information. Thank you.

John Gotti? Yes, obviously. Frankie Loc? No way, Frankie was 6 years older and wasn't even that close to Gotti in the late 70s when it was obvious that pic was taken. The guy in the photo was a little known hanger on of the Bergin crew in the late 70s.

I did years ago, it's pretty decent IIRC. If nothing else it's interesting to see what happened from a perspective different than Pistone's viewpoint. It's unfortunate that in the movie they made Robb (aka Rossi) seem like a bumbling idiot, from his POV there were plenty of aggravations with the New York end of operation as well from the point-of-view of the Florida operation. There are some interesting things from when he did some undercover work with a smaller family in the 1970s (I think Pittsburgh, but maybe Buffalo?) and did some work with the Pizza Connection busts after Donnie Brasco. My memory is hazy, it's been about ten years.

Nice one on Alphonse Indelicato....Even though it is very blurry. There just seems to be about t 5-6 pictures of him in existence. I am sure there are a bunch of mugshot photos around but I have only seen 1.

Also, I have only seen like 3 pics of Manna. I am shocked that a prison photo has no surfaced since he got clipped.

Cool pic of Scarfo, not sure I've seen any of him looking that young.

Tony Pro, thanks for the info on the book. I'll have to check it out. I know in the Brasco book he made it seem like Rossi went bad at one point, especially around the time Mirra claimed he whacked up that junk money with Rocky or whoever they said it was. IIRC, Rossi (according to Mirra anyways) was the one who vouched for Mirra by saying he knew about it or whatever. Thanks again

Yes. Dominick Trinchera, JB Indelicato next to him, and Bruno Indelicato next to him at the end. Standing up behind Trinchera, is a very young Vinny "Gorgeous" Basciano, Phillip "Lucky" Giaccone. I don't know the the first guy next to Basciano is, standing. Or the first guy seated next to Trinchera.

Hi Rhonda, welcome to the board.

I can say that for online pics, when you are posting, you first click "switch to full reply screen". Then at the top of your posting window, there is a link that allows you to post pictures from certain web addresses. A window pops up where you have to type in or paste the URL of your image. How to upload images saved on your computer I'm not sure about. Maybe someone can chime in, or I will edit this when I find out.

Posted By: Moe_Tilden

Re: Rare photos - 12/14/16 01:00 AM

Louis Filippelli is a nephew of Squitieri and Squitieri is married to Sisca's sister.

Both Filippelli and Sisca, coincidentally, were on a ruling panel after Squitieri took over from Peter Gotti as acting boss.

Quote:
At one point during the operation, the undercover agent gave flat-screen televisions to Mr. Squitieri and to Mr. DePalma, saying they were stolen, a law enforcement official recounted. One evening Mr. Squitieri was watching an episode of "The Sopranos." In it, a mobster was watching his own stolen flat-screen set when his parole officer visited and promptly arrested him for possessing stolen property.

That episode made Mr. Squitieri, who was himself on supervised release, nervous about the gift, the law enforcement official said. He got rid of the set, the official said, concerned that this "could be life imitating art."

Re: Rare photos - 12/28/16 02:24 PM

George Anastasia said something very interesting in a recent interview regarding John Alite. He said every country in Italy has its own subculture, its own "ways" and tht includes the criminal lifestyle. I forgot the saying in Italian but its translation was something like, "look good while doing it", and thats the Neopolitan way. Whereas the Sicilian way is to "be in the shadows and to not let on to what you really are and your true intentions, keep things between us". And you can see that with Gotti, whom was a Neopolitan and was flashy even when it came to criminal activity. Another Neopolitan boss was the same way, Al Capone. Of course there alwats exceptions, but my point is , Gotti was smart, he wasnt as dumb as guys like Joe Coffey wanted to paint him out to be. His flashiness and brash ways were more attributed to that simply being his way of life, and not his intelligence or mental capacity. Credits to CC for pointing this out for me.

Re: Rare photos - 12/28/16 04:04 PM

Gotti was an inarticulate moron who could barely pull off a hijacking, run a book or set up a drug deal successfully let alone be an underworld construction magnate like Paul Castellano.

His children and grandchildren are also imbeciles.

There is ample evidence of this.

The Bergin crew pulled in quite a bit of money from their JFK highjackings, this is fact. Gene Gotti, Angelo Ruggiero , Mark Reiter, Salvatore Ruggiero were major heroin traffickers and also made quite a bit of money from it, also all were Gotti confidants, this is fact. Reiter & Sal Ruggiero were multi-millionaires from their drug proceedings, this is fact. Construction was NEVER one of Gotti's rackets, Gravano was the construction guy, this is fact.

Leading a crime family is one thing they've done that the average person hasnt, not even the average mobster. If they were such "imbeciles", they wouldve been killed and buried. Not to mention they still run the Gambino's and have done so for more than a decade now. Again, not something the average mobster gets to achieve.

Deebee was a Captain but really had no crew, a lone wolf who raked in millions with smut. I cant remember who whispered in Gottis ear that deebee was trash talking him Angelo or the Bull but before he was whacked either Sammy or Angelo Ruggiero borrowed big money from him...Debt forgiven. a move from the Casso playbook.

What do all those people have to do with the fact John Gotti is an illiterate moron?

And I never said construction was one of Gotti's rackets. That's the point.

He was a glorified drug peddler.

No different from thousands of inner city teenagers all over the country.

They don't have legions of morons looking up to them because of movies, books and reality shows though.
Posted By: SinatraClub

Re: Rare photos - 01/01/17 04:29 PM

Yet he's never been convicted of drug trafficking, or even charged. Which in itself disputes your claim of him being an "illiterate moron". If he was simply a "glorified drug peddler" , yet never convicted of any drug crimes, let alone charged, that would take some real smarts to insulate himself to the point of him NEVER being charged of a drug crime. Not even Vito Genovese was capable of that...And those people have to do with it simply because of the fact that majority of these crimes were committed under Gotti's supervision, when he was running the Bergin crew for Fatico.
Posted By: Moe_Tilden

Re: Rare photos - 01/01/17 04:45 PM

The fact that his reign as boss was so short and the fact he spent so little time on the street as boss speaks to how much of a moron he is.

The amount of times he went on trial.

Not being convicted of being a drug peddler during his Bergin days speaks to how low profile he was and how loyal his friends were.

It doesn't speak to how much of a moron he isn't.

moe - cool pics, appreciate you taking the time to post. As i told you privately, you def are an asset to the boards if u and Sinatra can knock off the goofy shit back and forth

Anyways, the pic of Gotti meeting with the Providence guys is very cool, never seen that. Do you or anyone else know what happened at that meeting visa vi if it was ever revealed in an indictment or wiretap? which one is Matty Guglielmetti? So he musta been a big time capo even then in what 87 meeting with the boss of the Gambinos.

That Richichi guy is fascinating to me too..One of those old school gambino skippers that not much is known about who started as a skipper what with late Anastasia/early Gambinos reign and ended with Gotti?

DeeBee was hit in Sammy's office on Stillwell Ave, not a social club, and to my best knowledge Joseph Paruta did the hit. I think you're mixing up the hit on Milito which happened at a bar and John Carneglia was the shooter. Carneglia and Gene Gotti went away for 50 years on the heroin charge before Sammy flipped. To my knowledge, they weren't directly impacted nor did Sammy do them any damage from the stand.

Milito was a true wiseguy unlike Gravano. The bull only pulled the trigger once, he didn't have the stomach for it. On most of the hits he was part of he designated Milito as the trigger man because Milito was a stone cold gangster, unlike Gravano.

Nice pic, he looks relatively healthy for a guy his age. Maybe there is some truth to the possibility of him being the boss of the DeCalvacante's.

Sinatra I found this article on The Soprano Wiki:

http://sopranos.wikia.com/wiki/Corrado_John_Soprano,_Jr.

"Real Life Basis

The Junior Soprano character may have been loosely based on the real life presumed boss of the Gambino crime family, Peter Gotti, and DeCavalcante Crime Family "made men" Joseph Sodano and Joseph Giacobbe with similarities in look, thick & large glasses, age, inheritance of the leadership from his nephew, John A. Gotti, and his relationship with longtime girlfriend Marjorie Alexander."

It's Joey Merlino, and his cousin Anthony Accardo on the far left, no clue whom the other guys are, but the one in between Accardo & Merlino has been speculated to be Stevie Mazzone, but I personally don't think thats him.

From wikipedia:

"Riggi continued to run the family from his jail cell, but he appointed Giacomo "Jake" Amari as his new acting boss. All was seemingly settled until Amari became ill and died slowly of stomach cancer in 1997. This caused a massive power vacuum within the family, with high-ranking members pushing to become the next boss of the DeCavalcante crime family.

The Ruling Panel
After acting boss Amari's death, Riggi organized a three-man ruling panel in 1998 to run the day-to-day business of the crime family,[13] consisting of Girolamo Palermo, Vincent Palermo (no relation), and Charles Majuri,[14] with Stefano Vitabile as the reputed consigliere and adviser to the three.

The Panel, however, infuriated longtime captain Charles Majuri, who had been a hardworking member of the family since his teens and felt that he was wronged when he was not selected as the only acting boss.
[14] To gain complete control of the DeCavalcante family, Majuri decided that he should murder Vincent Palermo, leaving himself in charge of the family.[14]"

Re: Rare photos - 01/05/17 06:20 PM

Thats a wikipedia claim. I know that it's popular to think these characters were based on real people. But David Chase himself never confirmed that. There's an article quoting Chase supposedly claiming the Sopranos were based on the Boiardo's, with the article alluding to Tony Soprano being based on Tony Boy Boiardo. And an article claiming Chase said it was based on the Sopranos. Chase himself never really confirmed this, other than saying "this was based on people I knew as a kid".

[14] Mob Money. CNBC. June 23, 2010.

The similarity between Giacamo Amari dying of stomach cancer, Charles Majuri being upset about being passed over as outright boss, trying to kill Vinny "Ocean" Palermo because of it and Jackie Aprile dying of stomach cancer, Junior being upset at Jackie not naming a successor and his ensuing war with Tony would have to be the most freakish coincidence of all time if not for how obvious it is that the DeCavalcante situation in the late '90s was the basis for season one of The Sopranos.

That link doesn't work. And that's been a theory stated on many mob docs and articles. But again, David Chase himself never stated The Sopranos were based on any specific family, let alone any real life person. No doubt he drew on some similarities but thats about it. But we can save the Soprano debate for another thread.


@BigFella, I don't know where the pictures from, as it wasn't mentioned. But it looks fairly recent, I'd say it looks most similar to when he came back to Philly for his fathers funeral about a year or two ago. Looking at it closely though, I definitely see what you mean. If it isn't recent, it's still an interesting pic as it shows Accardo may have been made possibly, a lot earlier than was assumed by most. It's not recent I can tell by Merlino's clothing and watch. And I found a close up on pininterest (forgot I had an account there), and I'm personally not 100% sure thats Accardo. It could be Ray Wags.

Here's a link to the article that works. NY Daily News might have changed the one that was retrieved by the wikipedia contributor.

http://www.nydailynews.com/archives/news...rticle-1.878352

And, here's some text from the article that further demonstrates the first season of the Sopranos was based on the '90s DeCavs.

"Palermo, 54, was appointed one of three captains of the New Jersey-based DeCavalcante crime family in December 1998 while the boss, John Riggi, served time in prison. Members of that family were secretly recorded last year on government wiretaps talking about how the hit HBO cable TV series "The Sopranos" was based on their clan, according to transcripts. They ticked off similarities between the fictional family and their own, such as an aging gangster in both clans who died of stomach cancer, and the nagging suspicion that one of their own was wearing a wire. "You are in there," Anthony Rotondo, one of Palermo's closest allies, told an associate. "Every show you watch, more and more you pick up somebody. Every show."

Because like I've been saying the whole time, the creator of the show David Chase never stated that The Sopranos were based on anyone specific or let along a specific family. The most he said was during a piece for the Godfather Remastered Edition which came out in '08. He's in one of the extra clips, and they're talking about The Godfather and the things they influenced, which is almost everything, and the subject of the Sopranos is brought up and Chase says "This is based on the people I've seen as a kid"...That vague statement was all he said as far as the Sopranos being based on actual people.



People draw similarities, and come to the conclusion that it was based on The Decav's, and many mob docs and news articles make this mistake and use their own comparisons as fact. But factually, the creator never stated that they were based on any specific family or person. Thats what I meant by where'd you read that. I thought you'd actually had an article or proof of David Chase actually saying his show, The Sopranos were based on the DeCalvacantes. But he's never said that. The members being recorded saying the show was based on them, doesn't prove anything either, they had nothing to do with the creation of the show, and you know mob guys and their ego, especially those idiots who were operating during Vincent Palermo's time as acting boss. Again, we can save this for another thread.


Hey guys, finally got a date for that photo, it was taken in the late 90's. But on the subject of Accardo, he's actually featured in that Dave S "mob talks" piece, recorded standing on a stoop talking with Borgesi, Michael Lancelotti & a Dave Salvo.

@Sinatra: That picture that you posted is outside of the Cape May Courthouse in 1998 when Merlino was going into court to plead to his Open Container and Littering citations, which he got while being stopped by the Margate City (Jersey Shore) police late night coming back from the bars. The people in the picture from the left are Anthony Accardo, Charles "Chuck" Peruto who is one of Joey's lawyers and reps a bunch of other mobsters, Joey Merlino, Joe Santaguida who is another one of Joey's lawyers and reps a lot of South Philly mobsters as well, and then the bald guy I cannot tell based on the back of his head. Side note, is Anthony Accardo in fact Joey's cousin? I didn't know that if that's the case. I have a bunch of recent Accardo pics also if anyone is interested in this guy. Incidentally, if you watch the recent Dave S. Mob Watch video on Fox where they talk about the Clubhouse on 11th & Jackson, you can see Accardo standing out front on the far right of the frame to the right of the clubhouse entrance talking to some other guy... He definitely still hangs out with the guys and is probably made if I had to guess (post-his prison sentence in 2001 for participating in the stolen property ring).

I'll take your word for it PHL-Mob, your other post on this matter have always resonated to have a factual basis with me. So I'll buy it.


@Yates, thank you. Clearly he didn't read the DeCalvacante book "Made Men". Only goes to show that it's just theories people created and tried to add a connection with, and boom you have various articles claiming "The Sopranos is based on this person and that group." As if it's fact, despite the creator of the show never saying such a thing. Uncle Junior definitely shares a lot more similarities to Joseph "Joe Pitts" Giacobbe. Both hung out at a pork store, both drove black cadillacs (as you can see in some of the flashback sequences Tony has of him as a young boy).

There is ample evidence of this.


The Bergin crew pulled in quite a bit of money from their JFK highjackings, this is fact. Gene Gotti, Angelo Ruggiero , Mark Reiter, Salvatore Ruggiero were major heroin traffickers and also made quite a bit of money from it, also all were Gotti confidants, this is fact. Reiter & Sal Ruggiero were multi-millionaires from their drug proceedings, this is fact. Construction was NEVER one of Gotti's rackets, Gravano was the construction guy, this is fact.


What do all those people have to do with the fact John Gotti is an illiterate moron?

And I never said construction was one of Gotti's rackets. That's the point.

He was a glorified drug peddler.

No different from thousands of inner city teenagers all over the country.

They don't have legions of morons looking up to them because of movies, books and reality shows though.

Johnny Keys. A true stand up guy. His nickname had nothing to do with "Keys" like we think. His early nickname was Johnny Casablanca. Which was pronounced Johnny CAYSABLANCE, which they shortened to Johnny Cays which turned in to Johnny KAYS or Johnny Keys.

She shouldn't go as far as saying her pops was a "Man of Honor" There has been some debate as to whether d'Arco is a rat. Casso and Amuso were killing stand up guys out of paranoia, changing the rules of the game daily. There was an attempt to try to take out Casso but failed. When you live your whole life by a set of rules that are understood among men in the life then two friggin paranoid fucks change them what are you supposed to do? (Like I said they couldn't take out Casso) Your pals are all getting clipped you are next...

Linda Scarpa she's a disgrace so is her mother Shiro and Karen Gravano is disgusting but as for the d'Arco daughter she really does have a good argument cuz her pops would have died a stand up guy if it weren't for friggin Casso changing the rules of the game





That is a bullshit argument. Plenty of wiseguys have been in the same boat of their Boss wants to whack them. For instance, Sonny Black Napolitano knew he was marked for death, he also knew he fucked up. He could've ratted and said he "had no way out", but he was a stand up guy. He knew the life and knew the consequences and he went like a man. On the other side for example was John Gotti. He knew Paul wanted him dead, was going to take out junk dealers. Did he rat because he was marked for death? No he took gathered support and took out the Boss. It wasn't a cut and dry situation either. If they fucked up the hit on Paul, their whole crew was gonna get whacked. So to hear a guy say, the Bosses were gonna whack me I had no other choice is bullshit. You have several choices. #1 go when your called and take the death like a man. It's what you signed up for when you got in the life. #2 take out the Boss for a self defense measure, several guys have done that and gotten away with it. #3 go on the run into hiding with your ill gotten gains and wait it out, pray they don't find you but if you do defend yourself. Too many guys are weak and create option #4 be a rat and go to the government because you're scared to get killed or do time. And #4 is bs. All those guys knew what they signed up for. It was always prison, death, or a long life making easy money and die of old age. They created #4 because they were weak.

Casso and Amuso were not whacking "everybody". That is a myth; just like the fairytale about Casso telling D'Arco he wanted to invite half the family to his house for a meal so he could whack all of them after. It sounds entertaining but it is a complete fallacy.

Sure D'Arco conspired to whack his bosses with Crea? What does that make him? Is it any wonder why Casso and Amuso wanted to whack some of their subordinates? Accetturro, Facciola, D'Arco and De Fede weren't driven to steal from the family or conspire with the feds. They did it on their own accord.

People like Casso, Amuso and their loyalists are scumbags and they are right where they belong but pond life pieces of shit like D'Arco belong there right with them.

At least guys like Amuso and Daidone stuck by their principles, sordid as they are.

I have no sympathy for D'Arco. Chiodo on the other hand was truly forced to rat.


Chiodo wasn't forced to rat either. He escaped with his life. He could've kept his mouth shut after the hit attempt and gotten a lot of respect for it and possibly a pass. He could've slipped out of the hospital, done his time in West Virginia and by the time he got out Casso and his crew would be long gone. Nobody is forced to rat. He chose to rat.

How do you know that had the Castellano attempt failed, and Castellano recruited the majority of the Gambino family to seek retribution against Gotti and his guys, how do any of us know that Gotti wouldn't of flipped if given a chance? I don't think "he was a stand up guy all his life" is a good explanation, because Gravano was a stand up guy all his life and still flipped when given the opportunity.

I side with you on this one, I'm not sure gotti would not have ratted, if I were in the life he would be the last guy I would have trusted. he did his guys wrong by telling them not to plea bargain, and a few got some time, just listening to him. a good boss would have let them plea bargain.

Because like I've been saying the whole time, the creator of the show David Chase never stated that The Sopranos were based on anyone specific or let along a specific family. The most he said was during a piece for the Godfather Remastered Edition which came out in '08. He's in one of the extra clips, and they're talking about The Godfather and the things they influenced, which is almost everything, and the subject of the Sopranos is brought up and Chase says "This is based on the people I've seen as a kid"...That vague statement was all he said as far as the Sopranos being based on actual people.



People draw similarities, and come to the conclusion that it was based on The Decav's, and many mob docs and news articles make this mistake and use their own comparisons as fact. But factually, the creator never stated that they were based on any specific family or person. Thats what I meant by where'd you read that. I thought you'd actually had an article or proof of David Chase actually saying his show, The Sopranos were based on the DeCalvacantes. But he's never said that. The members being recorded saying the show was based on them, doesn't prove anything either, they had nothing to do with the creation of the show, and you know mob guys and their ego, especially those idiots who were operating during Vincent Palermo's time as acting boss. Again, we can save this for another thread.


Hey guys, finally got a date for that photo, it was taken in the late 90's. But on the subject of Accardo, he's actually featured in that Dave S "mob talks" piece, recorded standing on a stoop talking with Borgesi, Michael Lancelotti & a Dave Salvo.


Giacomo Amari - acting boss, stomach cancer.

Jackie Aprile - acting boss, stomach cancer.

Charles Majuri - felt he deserved to be boss, tried to kill Vinny Palermo for having to be part of ruling panel instead

Junior Soprano - felt he deserved to be boss, tried to kill Tony Soprano for usurping him.

Are you really denying this obvious connection between the DeCavalcante situation in the '90s and season 1 of the Sopranos? I think you just like to argue for the sake of arguing.

Maybe you didn't see Yates post where he also pointed out that Junior Soprano wasn't based on Charles Majuri, but Joe Giaccobe? Maybe not.


But like I've been saying this entire time, you can continue to debate with yourself if you want to. But again, David Chase, the creator of the show, NEVER said that Soprano's were based on any specific real life gangster or crime family.

Casso IS a Homicidal maniac, D Arco was about making money and not about Killing. Did he leave some facts out? maybe. Casso and Amuso were greedy bastards, they wanted to take out anyone that may challenge them and they wanted to not only get the upkick they wanted everyone elses money too. After they wacked all those guys they started whispering that D Arco was doing unsanctioned hits., this way they could clean up any loose ends by blaming him. Real Men of honor dont do what Casso and Amuso did. Al played by the rules. Casso enjoyed killing. Lots of guys talk tough but see how you feel when someone is gonna send an army of killers after you and your family.

It's funny how Al and Joseph didn't start acquiring morals then. What was the justification for whacking Chiodo or Di Lapi?

D'Arco sold drugs and his son got hooked on them. He was a thief who stole from Casso and Amuso.

He's a complete and utter lowlife and I don't buy his reasons for ratting.

It's self preservation.

Yes Joey D Arco Killed Di Lapi on orders from his dad that came from Amuso n Gas, D arco sold dope never tried to hide it got pinched and did his time for it and so what if he did? D arco did not initiate any of the murders. Gaspipe was the guy that buries a weed smuggler alive just as an insurance policy. Casso an Amuso are scummbags. If you have proof of D arco stealing from the family please share it. D arco did not turn for moral reasons he turned to save his life and his sons and families.
I dont know d arco besides seeing him around in Little Italy and never knew who he was with or cared. By the way his son got hookes from heroin fronted to him through Casso and amuso while D Arco was in prison. Back in the 80s lots of people sold dope so what? The only guy I know of that stayed away from dope their whole sordid career was Scarfo.
When shit gets real and people looking to kill you you do what you have to do to survive. By the way D arco never claimmed to turn for moral reasons his reasons were he never stole from the bosses, did what they told him to do than they put a rat jacket on him when they found amuso.
Posted By: UncleVig

Re: Rare photos - 02/22/17 02:14 AM

I'm sorry I didn't answer your question fully, casso and amusso knew that Chiodo was going to be a codefendent in the windows trial , also they told chiodo to kill some Irish Union guy from the same case, now they were linked in the windows and had a body with it. They said chiodo was fat and weak and would rat. The REAL truth was Chiodo owned the property in dyker hts the old 19th hole, christy tic firmaría joint it was now worth 670,000.00 And they wanted fat Pete to sign over the property.
DiLapi was on the run from gas pipe and Vic's murder spree cuz they wanted to kill him and take over his garment businesses. Those two greedy fucks wanted all of everyone's stuff.
D Arco was acting boss but could not sanction a hit without Vic and gas green lighting it. Gas and Vic set it up to make it look like Al was hatchet man which in a sense he was, but all jobs came from gas and Vic while they were in the wind from the Windows case.

both of you don't get it then. Gravano never spent time in jail, he was out for himself and an opportunists. Gotti's ego was so big he would take a death penalty sentence before he ever buckled under the Feds. Scarfo was the same. When you realize the difference between Scarfo/Gotti with people like Gravano/Leonetti maybe then you will get it.

see i can agree with you on this Yates, you can add vic and gas divide ..gotti proved he never would have ratted..he died suffering... scarfo was a gas pipe that did not rat..that's another story as we all know.but we are talking about their true to code mentality never rat under any condition or reasons

Agreed on Amuso. Those guys are different from the scheming mindset of Gravano/Casso/D'Arco. Sure Gotti and Amuso are schemers but they draw the line in the sand when it comes to their image when it concerns rats.

Re: Rare photos - 02/24/17 03:12 PM

right, and their willingness to die in prison. they were bad bosses killing their own guys, caso and gravano were big time instigators , this guys a rat that guy may rat..they killed, then ratted on the guys they convinced to kill. scumbags pure evil

Was hesitant to post this pic but it's interesting so screw it... Maria Testa and Maria Merlino early 80s when Maria Merlino and Salvie Testa were engaged and then the Maria's presents day. Interesting because they had a falling out when Salvie broke off his engagement to Maria Merlino as well as Chuckie having Salvie killed mostly due in part to Salvie jilting his daughter Maria Merlino. The two Maria's have since reconciled as you can see...

If so, who did he answer to? Which faction?

Re: Rare photos - 03/08/17 12:08 AM

Ya, he's walking on Passyunk ave bc you can see the sign for "Stogie Joe's" in the background. It's one of the few bars on Passyunk, where the older South Philly native's go, nowadays. Almost every other place caters to the hipster crowd.

That's correct- that is Stogie Joe's in the background, which according to Scott Bernstein, is where Joe Chickie Ciancaglini hangs out at on a daily basis. It's also, coincidently, the same building that housed the plumbing supply store where the Scarfo mob had one of their clubhouses at Camac & Moore. I wonder if there's some sort of connection to the building that causes them to always hang there such as the owner of the building being an associate or something like that?
Posted By: TonyManero

Re: Rare photos - 03/10/17 02:42 AM

You're right and it's pretty well-known who owns it...except, I personally can't remember who that person is or what's the connection, exactly. Plus, it's common bc a lot of the guys or their families own property and businesses like that in South Philly, especially south of Snyder.

Actually,the clubhouse was behind & across a small street(camac) from stogie joes..the building directly across moore st. was a diner where chuckie merlino always gave direction..he also kept his eye on the crow & charlie white who ran that corner..then, across the street(Passyunk) from all that is Marras restaurant where they did all their lunches & more flim-flam planing as well as placate their immediate supervisor pat spirito up until the day they killed him. Charlie White was the triggerman in that scenario..& did his time rightfully?..a true gangster imo..I wonder what goes through charlies head when he's in that immediate neighborhood..lookin @ his old corner after a few beers,taking it all in etc.....

Anyone know any info about his father? What family was he a part of? When did he die? What was his rank?

Only info I found is that he was born in 1898
And he had 5 kids. 3 daughters, 2 sons
Bobby was the youngest and had an older brother Dominick that was 3 years older.

I believe that's the first picture I've seen of George Conte. That pick of Pat the Cat is brutal, they try and make mob hits romantic, but they are brutal as any other murder. I remember seeing the Bruno Facciolla murder pics and it was a butchering, you could still see the fear on his face, it's an iconic photo.

Michael fransese said he was made on holloween 1975 but sammy the bull said gambinos inducted all bunch of guys like 50 after carlo died not at once in groups. I would guess tommys was first being paul castellano is his uncle wonder if it was a huge deal an party or quiet n quick.

Not sure but I think the books were closed until 76? Tommy Gambino held the rank of Captain I know that, I really dont think he had a crew so to speak of. He made millions in the Garment industry which those companies were handed to him when he Married Tommy Lucchese's daughter by old 3 fingers himself as a wedding present.
My wife worked for Calvin Klein and through him not only met Tommy Gambino but had lunch with him several times a year. She says he is not a des does dem guy. Well spoken and a perfect gentleman.

Been debated here forever. Think after carlo died big paul inducted aton of guys. Vincent fish cafaro testified in front of the senate about his inductuon in 1974 so did george barone. Mike franses vividly tells about his on halloween in 75 so did greg scarpas son.

If you was with the right people that didn't matter. That was proven when Patriarca had Nicky Bianco made while the books were closed during the Colombo War (don't know enough about the wars to know which one). Mid 60's I think.

I don't believe that books closed story....There definitely were people made during that time.

Now if people were clipped for violating this so called "books closed", THEN I would attach more credibility to it.

Was anyone clipped for making a member before 76?

I think the books being closed until 1976 was only for the Gambino family. Plenty of guys were inducted before then from other families.

It's from the FBN's "Mafia book". That's literally what its called as I own one. You can buy it off Amazon, Corallo isn't the only one featured either, not by a long shot. He was a criminal, and dealt in narcotics, that was enough reason for the FBN to have a file on him.

Still no reason to for the names of civilian relatives to be released. Authorities should have never let those files get out without the civilian names blacked out.

Re: Rare photos - 05/05/17 05:54 PM

I suppose anyone who cares about this country's constitutional rights to privacy give a shit. If the authorities felt a criminal's wife was complicit in criminal operations, they should have charged her. In the meantime, she's an American citizen with rights to privacy. If you don't believe in these rights, good on you. We disagree. Moving right along.

Cry me a river.

She married a known criminal, a public figure.

Her "privacy" is pretty low on the totem pole of ethics in the police - in an era when black people are getting killed for, literally, no reason.

Besides, it is common for mobster's wives to be named in books, trial records, trial reporting and newspaper articles.

If I want to know what a high ranking mobster's daughter or wife is called all I have to do is a cursory Google or Facebook search.

So, yes, what you said is completely absurd.


Posted By: OakAsFan

Re: Rare photos - 05/05/17 06:09 PM

There is no totem pole of privacy. Every citizen is entitled to it. I'm sorry you don't understand what the constitution is or what it means.

Also, as I pointed out earlier, they have names of criminals blacked out on those lists, clearly they're protecting them for some reason, but they're leaving the names of civilians for everyone to see. Pretty chicken shit.

Sure, anyone can stalk the relatives of criminals on social media, and if they're on social media using their real names, they're bringing it on themselves. Our government still shouldn't be releasing their names in conjunction with criminals they're related to. The public has no use for this info, other than for tabloid exploitation or shaming.

Is the privacy of "innocent" mob wives, of public figures, affected when they are named in trial records, trial reporting, books and newspaper articles, Einstein?

Is the privacy of mob wives affected when someone Googles their husband's name, Einstein?

Is the privacy of mob wives affected when you search them on Facebook or even see them on a mutual friend's friend list, Einstein?

Burden of proof, Oak.

If you say something stupid you have to back it up. How are her constitutional rights affected?

And if a cooperating witness's name is redacted, it's probably because their life is in danger. DUH.
Posted By: OakAsFan

Re: Rare photos - 05/05/17 06:18 PM

Of course its affected. There are millions of Americans interested in organized crime, and many of them, writers, bloggers, retired law enforcement, or otherwise, have an agenda of shaming those involved. Putting the names of people who are presumed innocent, meaning, they've never been convicted of a crime or even charged with a crime, despite who they're related to, out for public consumption is to basically hand them over to people looking to exploit and shame them. No citizen should be subjected to that by our government.
Posted By: OakAsFan

Re: Rare photos - 05/05/17 06:21 PM

And, I already said, if relatives of mobsters are on social media, using a surname which they have in common with criminals, then they're bringing it on themselves. Being on social media is a choice. I'm talking about the government releasing official files with names of civilians listed in conjunction with organized crime figures. That's all I criticized all along. So keep putting words in my mouth, Moe. Sometimes the best way to win an argument is to argue against something that isn't even brought up.
Posted By: Moe_Tilden

Re: Rare photos - 05/05/17 06:22 PM

How is his wife's name being mentioned in a file accusing her of a crime?

It's public record pertaining to a public figure.

You don't have a clue what you are talking about.

Do you really want me to source hundreds of newspaper articles and trial transcripts that mention mobster's wives?

And you want to try and explain how this hasn't caused a class action lawsuit yet?
Posted By: OakAsFan

Re: Rare photos - 05/05/17 06:30 PM

Many public records require individual requests to be released, and I would presume its for this very reason. They have to make sure the person making the request isn't looking to exploit and ruin the good name of someone who's never committed a crime, or at least has never been convicted of a crime. I'm sure there's other things they look into as well, but I have to believe this is one of the reasons for the application process. I can't think of any reason to know the names of mobsters' non criminal relatives other than to exploit them. Can you? Honestly. What is it, to stalk their facebook pages and look for photos? If they wanted those photos released to the public, they would release them to the public. The mobsters are fair game. The relatives of mobsters who put their shit out there for the world to see are fair game. The innocent citizen relatives of mobsters are entitled to a private life. This isn't just an idea. It's in the constitution.
Posted By: Moe_Tilden

Re: Rare photos - 05/05/17 06:34 PM

Again, how is she being implicated in criminal activity?

Elaborate.

And why hasn't there being a legal challenge to prevent mobster's wives being named - which is commonplace - in files, articles and records such as this?
Posted By: OakAsFan

Re: Rare photos - 05/05/17 06:37 PM

By having her name associated with a known criminal. There's no evidence she's complicit, or knew he was a mobster when she married him. It might be obvious in your mind, but there's no evidence of it. And, it's not just wives. Children of mobsters are on those lists, too, which is ridiculous.

I don't know why there hasn't been a legal challenge. Maybe there is some loophole that allows the authorities to do this. I'm saying it's bullshit. It should be challenged. That's all I've said all along.

Re: Rare photos - 05/05/17 06:53 PM

Since legislation such as the RICO act, there's always been a grey area where privacy is concerned. I'm invoking the constitution, prior to the government's manipulation of its loopholes to apprehend criminals. The document written by the founding fathers. Invoking this document, it's my interpretation that the relatives of criminals should be entitled to private lives if they've never been proven to be complicit in any crimes. That's all I've ever said. RICO act, The Patriot Act, have changed how we interpret the constitution. To many, rights to privacy doesn't mean much anymore. I'm just invoking the constitution to form my argument. That's all.

Re: Rare photos - 05/06/17 12:44 AM

Sorry to derail the thread. And, again, I have nothing against any posts here, just the government releasing documents with names of civilians. Once they're out, they're out, obviously. The fault clearly lies on them. That being said, this is a great thread and I enjoy the photos of the actual mobsters in their candid moments.

How do you she/they weren't complicit in any crimes? The woman was married to a public figure. And I struggle to see how her name being listed in a document impacts on her privacy. If one is inclined to find out what a mobster's wife is called all they have to do is perform a basic Google search or look up their name in a phonebook.

You're adding 1 and 1 and getting 3.

Moe- great pictures my friend, thanks for taking the time to post these pal...hope you're doing well

In regards to your argument with Oak, i think you're spot on and Oak is being delusional..so long as you're not posting pics of children of mobsters in these pics, then i dont give a fuck about sharing mobsters pics from wives or siblings or whatever...wives are absolutely parties to their husbands crimes that whole babe in the woods bullshit doesnt fly its not 1945 they know exactly who their husbands are and where the money comes from....if you're taking the illegal money, and whatever else and not reporting the commission of a crime or a fuckin lifetime of crimes, then you deal with the consequences and that includes having pics they posted online shared and copied online in a mob forum

If they don't want pictures out there..fuckin put em in a photo album at home... idk why Oak felt the need to shit on Moe for contributing to the boards with these dynamite pics .. who gives a flying fuck if some mob wifes instagram pics of her criminal husband with her in it are shared online? I mean so long as Moes not posting pics w kids or minors in it and so long as he didnt hack their fuckin computer or repell into their bedroom and raid a family cock sucking album then no one should say dick about these pics...Moes bein good enough to take the time and share these for the forum and i def appreciate it my friend... keep up the good work buddy I always look forward to seein a "rare photos" recent update from Moe Tilden bc theyre always good

Re: Rare photos - 05/12/17 11:25 PM

And again, you can't conjure a compelling reason as to how listing Tony Corallo's wife's first name in a document somehow impedes her privacy or quality of life.

Don't worry. I'm sure she wasn't hoodwinked by her husband's proclivities - just like Josephine Massino, "Fritzy" Giovanelli's mother, John Gotti's wife, Carmine Galante's daughter etc, etc who were all named in similar documents from numerous sources (not just the gov.)

How can you determine just how much of said blood money goes to the wives? What if a wife gets practically nothing? What if her mob husband has been lying to her all of the time they were married, telling her he put the life behind him? It is possible that some of these mob wives weren't complicit in their husband's crimes in any way, even after the fact. They really thought their husbands went legit, had money in the stock market, or whatever other lie he told her. That would make them entirely innocent. To release their info anyway just to make an example out of them seems pretty salty at best.

You dress for your work. He's stealing money from millennial douchebags, so he has to look the part. He won't be able to do it walking around in a baggy pin stripe suit with a fedora, listening to Cab Calloway, and driving a Pontiac Streamliner. They wouldn't take him seriously.

Oaks right I chose to respond bc I felt the need to stick up for my friend Moe.. he gets a bad rap and i think unjustifiededly so.. he constantly posts awesome pics and is a true asset to the boards... oak u made ur point and SC is asking us to cut it out.. i think we should all be appreciative of Moe taking time to post and he even blocked out the face of a minor kid in the Dragonetti pic...lets all just agree to disagree and get back to Moe and thhe handful of others who keep this rare photos thread alive, bc imo its the best thread on gbb and one of the reasons I enjoy this forum

He and his mistress were shot in the car. It was Joey Cantalupo that said that Antonio Colombo's dick was cut off. He starts talking about it in this video at around 4:15 - 5:20.

Personally I never believed they cut his dick off. Seems to me like he just made it up for shock value. I could be wrong though.

He ended up with both lung and testicular cancer. Not sure how much either affected him at the time of this photo. He wasn't a healthy man, that's for certain.

Someone named Ray Capri, who rounded out a band they called "Vincent, Pesci and Capri". They performed around the same time during the '70's that Pesci and Vincent also performed as a comedy duo.

This is the note for this photo on pinterest. Not sure what the source is.

"Around the mid-1950's Vito Genovese became a partner in a family firm known as the Erb Strapping Co which did primarly waterfront business. Genovese invested $249 and Erb and his sister Eleonor Erb Pica $255 for incorporation expenses. Through the influence of Vito Genovese, the Erb Corporation became one of the largest service companies in the frozen and tinned meat fields in the Port of New York. In a little less than fifteen years the gross profits grew over fifteen times."

My dad took such a beaten from the cops once as soon as the judge saw his face he cut him loose. I guess he figured the beating was enough punishment. My father didn't run to a lawyer, he was happy to get released and that was it. My father always preached to us to never make an enemy of a cop though, for obvious reasons.

Thank you MightyDR! I found them on Pinterest. A lot of the pictures I see in this thread I see there even before they're posted here. There is a lot of good stuff on there. The few that I've posted all came from there.

The following note was with the pic with Cohn if anyone's interested. It may be common knowledge but I never knew about it.

"Tony Salerno and the devil’s advocate, Roy Cohn. When Genovese soldier Salvatore Granello was about to turn, it was Cohn notifying Salerno about it. Granello was killed shortly after. No loose ends with these guys"

I don't know how true it about Cohn notifying Salerno about that child molester Granello being a rat but it sounds logical.

That seems to be late in Luciano's life, in Italy. Considering his limited mobility due to constant surveillance at that time, it's plausible he'd go casual with his wardrobe. Flashiness was never his style. He wanted authorities to think he was just an old guy retiring. He's looking the part.

That is 100% Lucky Luciano and he did have tattoos.

This is a quote from Lucky Luciano: The Real and the Fake Gangster by Tim Newark.

"The FBI gave a physical description of Luciano in 1947 as five feet nine and three-quarter inches tall, 145 to 150 pounds, slim, wavy, heavy dark brown hair turning gray, dark chestnut eyes, and tattooed on both arms.

Supposedly one of his tattoos said 'Lucky'

I've never believed that Meyer gave him that name after surviving that beating and stabbing.

In fact the next day after the beating in the New York Times, they described him as "Charles 'Lucky' Lucania.

You are so right about that.

Lucky himself confirmed in The Last Testament Of Lucky Luciano that Meyer gave him the name Lucky after the beating. Most 'experts' think the majority of that book is self serving and bs but when the man himself is saying it's true it's easy to see how it can be accepted as fact.

In the book The Real And Fake Gangster there is several different accounts of how he got the name as well as different accounts as who was responsible for 'the ride' he took.

It says in the book that biographer L. Kats quotes Frank Costello as saying that Luciano gave himself the nickname because he felt people were attracted to others who were viewed as Lucky. He had it tattoed on his arm and encouraged others to call him Lucky.

I've read elsewhere he got the name after a big win at a floating craps game.

Frank Costello's attorney later said that Frank Costello told him that Luciano hated the name and nobody would call him that even behind his back.

As far as the ride it's commonly accepted that Maranzano was responsible for 'the ride'. In the Last Testament Lucky confirms this.

In The Real and Fake Gangster Frank Costello again supposedly tells his attorney that it wasn't gangsters but the cops who picked up Luciano. He said it was basically a brutal police interrogation because they were trying to find Jack 'Legs' Diamond and they knew he and Luciano were associates.

Sal Vazzini a undercover narcotics agent who talked to Luciano in 1960 says that Luciano told him that plainclothes police picked him up outside his house put him in their car and beat him up again in an effort to locate Legs Diamond.

Obviously my point in all of this is most of the stuff we accept as fact probably isn't anywhere close to what really happened.
Especially in cosa nostra where the whole life is a big secret, at least in those days.

I realize this and understand it, but I still spend way too much time reading and researching about cosa nostra especially the old days. I want to know the truth as much as possible, but I think in all of us there is a little part that likes these stories and we like to believe things happened a certain way, truth be damned.

Leave Giancana's shirt alone. It's 1960's Mexico, man. Who wears a suit to the beach? Suppose he has to dive for a volleyball.

Frank Valenti being hauled away by Pittsburgh police into Allegheny County Jail after they handcuffed him to a table and beat the shit out of him in the interrogation room. They then woke him up with the smell of ammonia in an attempt to get him to confess to the murders of two small time numbers guys in the East Liberty neighborhood. The cops were almost as corrupt as the mob in those days, but Frank kept it gangster and beat the case...

Check this out guys. Go to google maps, hover over philly and type in "Stogie Joe's" in the search bar. Then drag the little yellow guy down to street level. Sitting out front you will see the image of what appears to be, and I would bet money on it, Chickie Ciancaglini holding court. If you look at the little map in the bottom left hand corner, you will see that you can place the yellow guy inside of stogie joe's and can walk out on to the sidewalk. Look, theres Chickie giving some girl a hug! lol. Just a little fun fact I thought I would throw out there.

Photos of Galveston gangster Sam Maceo's house. He died in 1951 and it looks like the house was built in 1952, so possible that Maceo was building the house when he died but his family still lived there after. Even more photos of the house here.

Vincent Palermo aka Vinny Ocean house in Houston where the local media outed him living under an assumed name after turning state's evidence: Lots of photos here. House looks like total new money trash to me, someone with awful tacky taste who has so much money they don't know what to do with it. But hey, who said you needed class to be an earner for the mob? Note the movie posters in the theater room. Zillow says the house was sold in August 2016 so who knows where ole Vinny is these days.

http://www.ktvb.com/article/enterta...y-of-boises-underground-barber/123081916



Nobody's running a front for anything in Boise, Idaho... maybe some cattle rustling. Anyway, here's some info on this Biagio fella:

Quote
December 30, 1992 – Biagio Adornetto was a made member of the John Stanfa crime family in Philadelphia. George Anastasia described him as a "pizza maker and wannabe wiseguy whose unwanted romantic pursuit of mob boss John Stanfa’s daughter nearly got him killed." Stanfa sent hitman Rosario Bellocchi, who was engaged to Sara Stanfa, to kill Adornetto. Bellocchi, armed with a shotgun, went to the restaurant where Adornetto worked. He aimed the gun in Adornetto’s face and pulled the trigger, but the gun didn’t fire and Adornetto fled the restaurant. Adornetto became the first member of the Stanfa crime family to cooperate with the FBI, Bellocchi soon followed.

source

Quote
At the same making ceremony that Merlino and Mikey Chang got their buttons, John Stanfa also inducted a number of the Sicilians he had recruited. The likes of Biagio Adornetto, Rosario Bellocchi and Sergio Battaglia were going to be Stanfa’s frontline soldiers. He believed their pure Sicilian blood made them superior to those he already had around them.

Almost immediately, the Godfather began sending his new recruits on hits. Initially it looked like Stanfa’s plan for eventual European dominance over his American crime syndicate was off to a good start.

....The dispute centered around friction that developed between Adornetto and Bellocchi, involving the courting of Stanfa’s beautiful 24-year old daughter Sara. Both aspiring mobsters wanted to date her. When Sara chose Bellocchi over Adornetto, it set things off on a dangerous course. Adornetto resented the rejection and began displaying insolence to both Bellocchi, his rival in the game of love, and Stanfa, his boss. The disrespectful behavior got him marked for murder.

Everything came to a crescendo on December 30, 1992, when a masked and shotgun-toting Bellocchi staged a daring attack of Adornetto, while Adornetto worked his job as a pizza maker at the trendy and posh South Philly eatery, La Veranda. On a busy night from before the New Year, Bellocchi charged into the restaurant, approached his target in the open kitchen in the back overlooking the entire place, and pulled the trigger.

Nothing happened. Someone had put the wrong sized bullets in Bellocchi’s shotgun and it malfunctioned. Undeterred, his went out to his car, got his pistol and returned into the now hysteria-filled bistro and chased Adornetto around the dining room to the shock of a packed house of patrons, one of which was a state senator.


source. Stanfa really was a horrible boss, eh? Amazing Philly was able to rebound so much under Ligambi.

Adornetto looks like one of those greasy foreigners who hang around nightclubs here hitting on women half their age, the kind of guy you wouldn't want to leave a woman alone with.

Any wonder Sara chose Bellocchi.

And WTF was Stanfa thinking blooding all these guys?

Battaglia, for one, was clearly living in a fantasy world.

I'm sure once he flipped the feds let him keep a lot of his money. Pay some small fines, but keep most of his millions in exchange for testimony. Wikipedia says he filed for bankruptcy in 2013 though, so maybe he blew it all and that's why the house was sold?

Joe Massino and his wife made out like bandits as well.

I guess the FBI have to let them keep a very hefty part of their illicit gains, as these people are hardly going to start breaking the habit of a lifetime and make an honest living once they're let off the hook.

"Nobody's running a front for anything in Boise, Idaho... maybe some cattle rustling."

I wouldn't be too sure about that. Adornetto has been involved in prostitution rings (yes, in good ole Boise, ID), and I may or may not have knowledge that he's been trafficking drugs, but he's clever about his business dealings, just flying under the radar of law enforcement. For what it's worth, I know way more than I care to about this shady guy.

Hoodlum

The photos you referred to, I can't remember exactly where I got them, but I was just dicking around in Google Images and found a few ones I don't recall seeing before on an Instagram-like page someone had with photos of gangsters.

Salvie was a good looking kid. Some decent fashions on show considering the time period.

Re: Rare photos - 05/25/18 12:39 AM

He had the chicks too..that girl Rosa was the one I believe Salvie dumped Maria Merlino for,,,they were childhood friends ...she wrote a book about it. She's now an assistant to a major fashion designer up in N.Y.C.

"An observer recalled later that he felt uneasy when Corallo's eyes fell on him in a "sort of sleepy, sideways look." That look, as a matter of fact, went into the official record. Robert F. Kennedy, chief counsel of the committee, said that one unnamed employer had hired Tony Ducks to go into his place of business once every two weeks or so "and glare at the employees." The employer said that all Corallo had to do was enter and "just look at them, and that was enough to keep them at their work."

Yeah, the Carlo one looks kind of unlikely. It could be colorized. Color cameras weren't common until the 1960s, when Carlo was an old man. The guy in the photo looks to be in about his 30s. We're talking the 1930s, when Carlo was this age. This photo looks like it was taken much later.

The man who has been described in the Senate racket hearings as “perhaps an even bigger shot” than Johnny Dio is a shadowy figute even by standards of underworld obscurity.

Man in the News

Anthony (Tony Ducks) Corallo is an East Harlem racketeer who has been arrested thirteen times, starting with a grand larceny charge at the age of 16. But only one conviction stands on his record – a conviction for unlawful possession of narcotics sixteen years ago.

His name is on the national list of the Treasury’s Bureau of Narcotics, a list known as the social register of the illicit drug trade. But on the long record of his arrests the word “discharged” appears after each entry with a regularity that is galling to the police who keep trying to nail him. His sobriquet – Tony Ducks – is a back-alley badge of honor won by his ability to duck conviction so many times.

Corallo, described as a kingpin of an underworld drive to capture control of the Teamsters Joint Council here, was soft-voiced yesterday as he invoked the Fifth Amendment 120 times to keep his affairs quiet.

He refused to answer questions put to him by the Senate’s Select Committee on Improper Activities in the Labor or Management Field.

Man of Quiet Menace

But there was quiet menace about Tony Ducks, who gave evidence he was not the kind of person to slap on the back when he wasn’t looking.

Dressed in a black suit, wearing gold links in his French cuffs, the short, stocky, swarthy racketeer displayed an impassive face at the hearings. But an observer recalled later that he felt uneasy when Corallo's eyes fell on him in a "sort of sleepy, sideways look." That look, as a matter of fact, went into the official record. Robert F. Kennedy, chief counsel of the committee, said that one unnamed employer had hired Tony Ducks to go into his place of business once every two weeks or so "and glare at the employees." The employer said that all Corallo had to do was enter and "just look at them, and that was enough to keep them at their work."

The 44-year-old “man of mystery” of New York’s underworld, a man before whom Johnny Dio is reputed to be deferential, was born in East Harlem on Feb. 12, 1913.

He was arrested in 1941, and got six months in the workhouse on Rikers Island after the police discovered a $150,000 narcotics cache (!) others in the drug ring did the selling of the narcotics. The detectives were impressed with his suavity, his fine clothes and his fine words.

The police found him to be a man “above average in intelligence,” a man of means who flashed fat bankrolls and associated with big-time gamblers who rode in big cars.

Charged with 5 Robberies

Five robbery charges were raised against Tony Ducks – all of them were discharged. One of these involved a $190,000 jewelry hold-up at 620 Fifth Avenue in 1936. Three men were sent to Federal prison at Lewisburg, Pa., for that job. The police picked up Corallo after a two-year search and charged him with acting in concert in the hold-up. He beat the rap.

According to the District Attorney’s office, Corallo controls at least five locals of the Teamsters Union and dominates at least five locals of other unions. These are the Toy and Novelty Workers Union, Painters and Decorators Union, Food Handlers, Conduit Workers and United Textile Workers.

Tony Ducks is married and has two children. He lives at 114-67 Eighth Avenue, Malba, Queens.

New York Times, August 16, 1957.



It mentions Johnny Dio being "deferential" to him. In another article from around the same time, wiretap recordings have Tony Ducks pretty much telling Dio what to do with the unions. I'm guessing he was Dio's captain.

Vampire👹 Senter for a 63 year old man looks in great shape in comparison to his friend Testa. He has clearly kept fit/ looked after himself. 1 thing he has been consistent at is looking like a psycho .Dont know if it's true but I read somewhere that he loves it so much in allenwood that he asked to stay in max security so they just allowed him!?

I wonder if anyone who knew Lucky is still alive today. I remember watching a documentary about 7 years ago and it featured a guy who had parties with Lucky. He had Facebook too I remember..

Lansky and Alo were in their 40s when the Havana Conference took place. So, I'm guessing this pic is more like 1980 something. But it was worth an ask.

Hello all!

I'm a longtime reader on these forums and but new poster (even though I guess I registered a long time ago... oops).

Just wanted to say there are some AMAZING pictures on here and thanks to everyone for posting them! Quick question, the pictures of Gravano signing the books and baseballs, I just did a quick search online to see if they are available for purchase and couldn't find anything. I have a copy of the book, but a signed copy would be cool! Does anybody know if they were for purchase or can be purchased?

Here is a link of news footage pieced together where those Gambino pictures had to have come from. They're at the start of the video. I've seen nearly every mob video on youtube but I haven't seen this one. Going to watch it now.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXNeNAODMCY

the first 4 minutes or so is annoying with nothing but video and terrible music but after that it's not bad. Castellano murder scene coverage and Gotti/Cutler courtroom video with audio as well.

I think he was the only one who ever used, and he was cleaned up when he hooked up with Gotti. As Bronx said, he was no money maker, but a tough guy kept close by Gotti.

Roach caught his moniker all the way back in his teens. He sold dope, banged the gong and also suffered from bipolar disorder.
An OG of Fulton Rockaway boys he had his vices but was a stand up guy and stone cold killer.
Got pinched selling 1/16 a key of Babania in 88 or 89 was high as fuck and started talking about sparks but changed his mind took the fall got Rockefeller act sentenced released to go back to ozone park to die from Liver Cancer from hep C.

Roach did clean up for awhile but the siren call of the poppy caught his ear. Armond 'Buddy' Dellacroce did dope and caught the bug. Unbelivable but they actually announced the HIV positive status after autopsy to let any of his partners know to get tested. He was on gotti shitlist for copping a plea and than getting in the wind before sentencing in the racketeering case in SDNY.

Kinda sad, he died shortly after his father in '88. Neil probably would have been hurt to know that his son died an HIV-positive drug addict.
Posted By: Goldy

Re: Rare photos - 08/20/18 07:45 PM

He died of alcoholism. Brain hemorrhage they attributed to cirrhosis. Must have been doing some heavy drinking when he was on the lam in the Poconos for those two years before he died.

On those tapes between Ruggiero,, Gotti and Dellacroce doesn't Ruggerio say if he was just talking about "someone like Buddy" he'd give up the tapes no problem? He was referring to Dellacroce's own kid like that in front of him? Or was he talking about some other "Buddy"?
Posted By: OurThing

Re: Rare photos - 08/20/18 08:16 PM

This person claimed it was a combination of alcohol and cocaine that did him in. Brain hemorrhage from alcohol alone probably isn't too common, but I could definitely see it mixing with cocaine.

Yes he was a boxer in his teens, he was in the Crazy Joe Gallo crew but was very close to Larry Gallo. After Joe Gallo was killed he and Albert ‘Kid Blast’ Gallo we’re absorbed into the Genovese borgata. He was close to Chin through boxing. He flew low under the radar and never caught any pinches that I know of and was supposedly highly respected. Some of my info came from DeMatteos book ‘growing up mafia’
I have a photo on my phone of Punchy and Larry Gallo as kids taken in a photobooth together. I’m not really tech savvy and don’t know how to shrink it to 200kb maybe someone else can find it on Pinterest and repost for us. Just query Larry Gallo.

I didn’t really like the book much, author probably is or was a knockaround and supposedly was close to Albert Gallo. I respect the author because he stayed old school and didn’t air any laundry but seemed like he had a hard on for Albert Gallo and Punchy for giving up the Gallo war and getting made into the ‘West Side Crew’ he mentioned Bobby Borriello I learned they are from same south Brooklyn hood.
If anyone here is from the d Gowanus area n red hook maybe they know who all the characters are but I never heard of most of them but I was raised in the city so that place was out of bounds to me.

Woah, nice one thanks Michael_Giovanni. Like Oaks said, there's not too many Luchese pics around. Not much of LaSalle either. I don't think Luchese was related to the Dragnas, but they were close. Luchese testified that Dragna was "his intimate for many years and he saw him 'almost every day on the coast'". From this article:

I'd read somewhere that Lucchese was the first NY boss to give Dragna the okay to take out Cohen. Beforehand, all the Jewish gangsters in Hollywood had been protected by the Commission. Giancana and Roselli were certainly instigators in that move, too.

First Gravano implicates Jimmy Brown in a murder, then he says in his book that if a black guy walked in and told Jimmy Brown that he killed Castellano and was the new boss Jimmy would say "Gee, great. What do you want me to do boss?" I don't know which is worse! lol

Must be jealousy over the garbage rackets. I think Gravano's guy Francolino took over after Jimmy Brown.

In the photo of Peter Gotti and Bruce Cutler there in a man posing on the right side of the page smiling with them. He looks like John Miller, who has worked over the years for both the New York and LA police departments. He became big in law enforcement after years as reporter covering trials like Gotti's, and is the reporter who once ambushed Gotti and Gravano as they came out of a place, the one where Gotti told him "You're misbehaving John" or words to that effect.

It was one of those "driver" relationships, at least in part. Like Vito Genovese and Chin Gigante. That's a position of trust bestowed upon you, to be a personal driver for a high ranking member. Why did Paul put so much faith in the guy? Who knows, really...

Thanks Nick I just seen the interviews you did with Sonny at the care home.. sad to hear that Mike only visits him once a year, obviously what he said is now lies. Uses his father in his videos and interviews, maybe some problem they have we don't know about... you would never think Sonny is over 100 if you looked at back of his head 90% black hair

Costello with Costello

I will try again later, its a .jpeg but will not upload.

I also reduced the size of the file ( which makes it look pixilated ) - still not sure why it will not load.

I wonder if the size restrictions could be changed and if pdf's could be allowed, would make it a lot easier for quality uploads.

The picture of Sonny above looks great, the size of the file is over restriction but posted.... interesting.

I will figure it out later.

I agree, I think it does look like him.

We should always remember, we see pics of these people that can vary through the years.
People change appearance through the years.
I think its him.

Roy Cohen was also the attorney that got Gotti the man slaughter deal for the murder of McBratney for killing and kidnapping Carlos Nephew.
Roy Cohn also Represented Donald Trump and got him the shady deals to begin his house of cards. Yes Cohen was gay and Died of AIDS IN 1988, it was in Roy Cohens office that he brought Trump and Fat Tony Salerno together to iron out the scab labor and concrete for Trump.
Cohen got his start with famous Commie crazy Joe McCarthy in the 1950s.

The car they were in was right across the street from my house, I walked out of my house on my way to school early that morning, lit a smoke and noticed a kid from down the next block looking in the car and then swiftly running back home. I crossed the street , peered into the drivers side of the car and saw two men who had obviously been whacked.

Ran back into my house and woke everyone who was not up and told them what was out there, we went back outside and several minutes later NYPD was shutting it down, asked my Mother if they could use the phone to set up a base and she said “ NO, Get the fuck out of my house”. Someone had already let them in to use the phone once but she shut that down.

We had many friends and FAMILY on both sides of the LAW at the time and would never choose sides for good reasons.

Holy crap!

Where Did you get this?
Do you have more?

This is very rare.....never seen this.

These guys were left on corner of Schenectady Ave off Ave M.
Just a few blocks from the Gemini Lounge.


Little bit of digging around. Ask and you shall receive. Maybe we can put a picture next to his Wikipedia Page Now.

Picture is of Frenchy McMahon in 1975.

Nice I got the pictures online and am 99% sure both are authentic of both men. The source is reliable.

I always wondered about the Lufthansa people and others around Burke/Hill. I have been digging for pictures and information of people like Angelo Sepe, Richard Eaton, and Marty Krugman. There are a few online, but I wanna see more. I have like one or two more I found recently as well.

Re: Rare photos - 07/17/19 11:38 PM

A few more in regards to Goodfellas and Lufthansa people.

First one is picture of Lewis Werner, only one ever convicted of Lufthansa Heist.

Second one is of Theresa Ferrera, I have never seen the picture before. One of the victims of Lufthansa.

Last one is a rare picture of Angelo Sepe, one of the Lufthansa suspects. Killed in 1984.

A while back Nick Pilleggi was on the Adam Carolla podcast and they were discussing Goodfellas and Casino. He said that Billy Batts was his real name and that he was one of the only made guys that had a mustache and beard. He also said the famous Jimmy "Two Times" "I'm gonna get the papers, get the papers" guy's nickname was actually Johnny "Echoes" but they couldn't get the OK to use it or the family didn't want it used for whatever reason. Like how Jimmy Burke's family wanted to get paid, so they changed the name to Conway. Don't know why the guy's family would object to it, it's not like he was a main character or he was portrayed in a negative light or anything. I know the official movie poster for Goodfellas has a generic mob guy dead on it beneath Henry/Jimmy/Tommy, but the guy looks an awful lot like Jimmy "two times". Ha.

Ya that is the Lorenzo who was in the same crew as John and his brother when they got wrapped up for the Oliveri murder and trafficking charge. Word on the street he’s in jail in Palermo as we speak he’s also the same age bracket as the Gambino brothers makes sense than the 60 year old Mannino everyone claims

Not gonna sit here and debate but I wouldn’t spread misinformation if I wasn’t 100% sure about it. There will be someone on here who will eventually vouch for what I’m saying.

Click on Use Full Editor. Click on the image under the B (Bold) button. The one that looks like a picture of a mountain. Enter the web address of the picture. If it’s from a web page you have to open the image in it’s own page. Cope the url and then paste it in the box that opened when you clicked the button with the image of the mountain in full editor.

Believe it or not it’s not all that rare for brothers, father and son, cousins, etc to spend time in the same facility or for that matter share a cell. As long as they aren’t troublemakers there isn’t a counselor in the Feds that would deny the cell change request. It probably wouldn’t even come to that. One of the CO’s on the block would just handle it and update the count sheets.

Re: Rare photos - 12/27/19 11:04 PM

No problem, guys. The third one is a who's who of the Philadelphia mob in the eighties. I really like that one. Such a trip to see Joey Merlino, Lawrence Merlino, Salvatore Merlino, Phil Leonetti, Nick Scarfo and Salvatore Testa in the same picture knowing what we do now about all four of them. So much personal, interfamilial deceit and betrayal encapsulated in one picture.

It's a trip to wonder how different things would've been if Salvatore Testa, in particular, remained alive and continued his ascension. We know Scarfo, Leonetti and the two elder Merlinos would've ended up in prison or ratting one way or other, but if Testa remained on the streets would he have been an ally of Merlino or would they end up in each other's crosshairs?

And I think they removed Salvatore Gambino out of that spot for mafia association I hear Francesco Inzerillo and Calogero are the the new bridge between mafias families in Sicily and here. How Old are they ? I’ve seen both with Lorenzo Mannino at his spot down Brooklyn 18th av I thought Francesco Inzerillo was like 40 but there’s so many of them

It depends. There are times when the boss isn’t as the induction ceremony. For example Gotti wasn’t there for the Christmas Eve 1988 induction for Junior, Mikey Scars, and Bobby Boriello

That's Otto Hydell. He was an informant. He was supposedly very tough, but when Tommy Pitera approached and called him a rat, he didn't dare raise his hands. His tire was made flat so he'd have to bend and fix. He saw the gunman and tried to run; was chased and murdered.

According to Larry Mazza, Vic Orena convinced Angelino to poll the captains on taking Persico down and making Orena official boss. Persico found out about it and had Angelino killed. Then Orena tried to do the same thing with Carmine Sessa.

Massino only got as high as underboss in the 80s, but it sounds like he was essentially running things by the late 80s.

Maybe next time he can wear a pic of the woman he tied up and bound as he was robbing her home. Doesn't seem he's too ashamed of his past as he vehemently claims.

That's not even the scariest one. There's a mugshot of him that's grainy and dark, and looks like he's levitating in mid air with his head tilted to the side. Same dead eyes he has in the pic above.

Finding it odd to see Nicky Scarfo meeting with Joe Todaro of Buffalo.


Nothing odd about it. You got 2 Pa bosses meeting with the boss of Buffalo. Lots of inter family business between those 3 for over 100 years. Lots of blood relatives between the 3 as well.

That’s his wife “Nikki North”. Philip belonged to the Chicago Outfit & was a made man. Philip & his brother Ron both met their fate in 1962 killed by local Irish thugs Billy McCarthy & Jimmy Miraglia in Elmwood Park…Soon after the two thugs were infamously made an example out of & were tortured to death… If you saw Casino there’s a scene in there based on Billy’s death were they put his head in a vice & his eye pops out before killing him.

Re: Rare photos - 07/29/21 10:00 AM

A few months ago, longtime foes Don King and Mike Tyson had dinner in Miami.

The man sitting between them is Alvin Malnik, a man who at one point was considered to be so close to Meyer Lansky that the FBI believed that dealing with Malnik was the same as dealing with Lansky. That controversial claim was later backed by mob associate turned government witness Vincent Teresa in open court.

Malnik, an attorney who throughout the years had denied ever knowing Meyer Lansky has only in recent years admitted that he had indeed been very close to the legendary mob tycoon. Although he maintains that the two were only friends.

Malnik made millions by owning and selling the rights to Scopitone, a video-jukebox company that swept Europe in the 1960s. The SEC believed it was a mob front after discovering that Vincent "Jimmy Blue Eyes" Alo and Jerry Catena owned shares in the company. Alo, who was particularly close to Malnik and was often seen in his company, was convicted of obstruction of justice in the Scopitone case after he refused to answer questions regarding his dealings with Malnik.

To this day, Alvin Malnik has never been convicted of a crime. Unlike his late friend Lansky, who seemingly died broke, Alvin Malnik is believed to be one of the wealthiest people in the United States.

Probably involved in the tail end of LCN influence over boxing.

Good to see Tyson let bygones be bygones for his own sanity probably……He threw a water bottle at him not too long ago but quickly called to apologized…Believe Don acknowledged he knows Mike is a good guy.

“Lansky, who seemingly died broke….” I guess it comes down to who you believe. Lacey said he died basically broke. Messick said he hid his cash with others….including Malnik. Lansky’s daughter claims his brother Jake ended up with all the money.

I fall on the side that money was never an issue. While I believe the $300 million was a gross exaggeration, I doubt that a man of his intelligence, savvy and long-time power in the Underworld died broke….probably living his final years similar to peers like Costello

I can tell you what I know. I was close to the Jake Lansky side of the family in fact I spent time with Jake . His wife Anna and was very close with their grandson David S. ( now deceased) I knew his cousins who were Meyers grandkids but plead the fifth there as one of them is trying to put himself out there on social media as a mob expert and he is quite ignorant of the life.
Meyer lived in North Miami Beach and Jake lived in Hallandale. They owned respective residences but in my opinion Jake and Anna were better off. That 300 million dollar story is bullshit perpetuated by unchecked media and lying cops ( prosecutors are cops to me)
Meyer lost a great deal of money in Cuba and people forget that what money he did make even though he was Meyer he still got taxed by the Genovese. They were close friends with Jimmy Ali but business is business.

I don’t believe that Lansky was ever taxed. He had partners, coordinated investors, etc. and handled the “payouts”. He was a peer, never an underling, until the day he died.
Posted By: jace

Re: Rare photos - 11/10/21 04:08 PM

I agree on Lasky never being taxed. He was in with the bosses from the beginning, and was partners with many. He was long time friends with too many people and was more powerful than most members, and as powerful as any boss.

Thank you for the compliment Tommy. I greatly appreciate the vote of confidence in my work. It's always invigorating when someone enjoys your work and lets you know it.

I had the Clemenza and Carrozza pics (although Carrozza was black and white), but I hope you don't mind if I snatch a few from you for my gallery. You have a couple of unique pics, and some nice clean shots. Di Lapi and Castellano pics is very graphic and clear. And some of those murder scenes are solid too.

Im an aspiring OC writer so i really enjoy your work, Great Job, ive learned alot through your pieces

Thank you for the compliment Tommy. I greatly appreciate the vote of confidence in my work. It's always invigorating when someone enjoys your work and lets you know it.

I had the Clemenza and Carrozza pics (although Carrozza was black and white), but I hope you don't mind if I snatch a few from you for my gallery. You have a couple of unique pics, and some nice clean shots. Di Lapi and Castellano pics is very graphic and clear. And some of those murder scenes are solid too.

I gotta say it again. Good work my friend. Keep it up. I'm really enjoying your posts. It's refreshing to see


No not at all, please use them freely, ive saved many from your galleries, Thank You thats Much Appreciated, its nice to hear that you are enjoying some of them

Tommy, I don't know who the kid is, but this isn't Joe Cafe. I'm 99.999999% certain of that. Doesn't look like him at all.

On another note Tommy. If you ever write something you feel is solid enough to get posted up, let me know. I don't typically open my doors to others, but if I like what you write and feel it fits with the other content of ButtonGuys I'd welcome you to post up by me for exposure (if thats even something you'd be interested in). Let me know

Anthony Delevo's nickname was "skipper" lol

And I think you're right. At one time he served in an "acting" capacity when the crew got fucked up for awhile and guys were away. Al Bruno was a good man. It was a shame what they did to him

I wasnt aware that was Delevo's nickname. I hear he was a gentleman and a fair man, I never understood why with how well he knew the life, that he would ever talk to the G about anything, let alone getting penciled down in a 302 givin up whos Amico Nostra to the feds. He knew what he was riskin if that ever got out

Re: Rare photos - 11/16/21 03:18 AM

That was a complete bullshit 302 by a fed who wrote the conversation he had with Bruno they way he wanted it to sound. NOT the way Al had discussed it with the fed. Bruno was no rat! He was a standup guy all the way. HIs words were twisted to make it sound like he was opening up to the fed. All BS. He and the fed were on a first name basis. And words were taken out of context.

But that rat punk kid Arillotta used that to worm his way into betraying Al (who was Bingy's mentor by the way and had treated the kid well) with Artie Nigro (another brain surgeon). Big eyes! Greed! and being a scumbag!...thats all it takes (oh, and a .25 cent bullet behind the ear).

Treachery all the way! Nigro died behind bars for his greed and stupidity. And Arillotta became the rat that he always was in his heart!

Well Said. I cant believe that stool pigeon rat Arillotta was allowed back in his area & allegedly was let back into the club several times..can you fuckin imagine. Meanwhile the kid Emilio Fusco is sittin for 25 years, & Freddie G & Ty are doing all day because of the rat fuck

As Fat Andy was so fond of saying "Rats arent made my friend, theyre born that way"

So true Lou. The same can be said for guys like Carmine Persico, Sonny Franzese, Jerry Langella, Bruno Indelicato, and all the Commission guys who fell for 100 years. Herbie Sperling, Madonna, and all the others who took huge bids "on the chin" and stood up like the men they were. They just waved goodbye to their family and friends and went inside without so much as a peep. No one ratted like so many guys do today. A different breed of member!

Back when Men were as tough mentally as they were physically..add in honourable, ballsy and disciplined and you got the quality of street guys that were around back than. NYMafia made a good point on one of his articles, about the old timers stopping properly schooling the up and coming guys, once the old timers are gone and they didnt school the young guys, the young guys cant properly school the next generation and on and on. The thing i see all these Stool Pigeons have in common is theyre all mentally weak, blame everyone else with their bullshit excuses, like the stone rats they were from the day they were born

Good. My one caveat is just don't write a piece about current and active guys. If they're dead, or long retired, write what you want. But otherwise stay away from those guys. ok?

Done. One thing i noticed about your work, is you dont really get into detailed info regarding old hits etc. I like to get very detailed on hits etc...sometimes being descriptive with how theyre murdered etc..try to paint a vivid picture in the readers mind...So if that kind of writing doesnt fit with the other pieces...it may not work for your page. I look at it from if i was reading it..what would be most interesting to me if i was reading it. I write from a street guys perspective...so im trying to write what street guys want to read

Ralph Staino Jr

Albert Pontani

Vincent Panetta

Feb. 3, 1982- Vincent "Tippy" Panetta, age 60, Township Line Road, Cheltenham, Pa., Member of the Philadelphia LCN family.
Panetta's body and that of his 19- year-old girlfriend, Michelle A. Podraza, were found in the bedroom of their apartment in Cheltenham, Pa., shortly before 4 p.m. on Feb. 4, 1982.
The hands and ankles of both victims had been bound. Podraza's body, only partially clad, was found lying across the bed. Panetta's fully clothed body was found on the floor. An autopsy disclosed that both victims had been severely beaten and died of strangulation. It was not determined exactly when the slayings took place, although it is estimated that they had been dead for 24 to 48 hours.
Panetta was convicted in 1976 by a federal jury in Philadelphia on RICO charges and for conspiracy in connection with the illegal lending of money at interest rates as high as 179 percent. Panetta's criminal record and his reputed involvement in the loansharking operations of the late Philip Testa and Frank Sindone promoted speculation that the killings were linked to organized crime

New York Mobster Constantino Masotto who hid out in New Orleans under the alias Gene Mano after murdering his sister in upstate New York. When it was found where he was hiding Sam Carollo was contacted and asked to take care of him. Allegedly Carollo gave the job to Carlos Marcello. Mano disappeared in August 1943 and his body was found in a shallow grave in November 1943 about a mile from the Willswood Tavern. The Willswood was owned by Marcello and would later be better known as Mosca's

This is George "G" Williams, one of the more powerful leaders of the Lueders Park Pirus in Compton. For years, he has been the main suspect in the murders of several members of Suge Knight's Blood crew. Williams was recently released from prison after having served almost 20 years for running the largest PCP manufacturing/distribution ring in California history. He was never supposed to come home, but California's liberal laws have now made it possible for certain lifers to come home. I could not think of a more deadly gangster than this guy, but he is as free as you right now lol

Jacob (Yasha) Katzenberg was a legendary narcotics trafficker between the wars. He is best known as a leading figure in the 1930s junk ring whose final exposure earned Lepke Buchalter a 14-year prison sentence in 1939. Katzenberg turned states' evidence, and his testimony was intrumental in putting Lepke away. Despite his importance, up to this time nobody has found a photograph of Yasha. An alleged photo of him passing around the internet is actually of Jack Zuta, the vice lord of the Chicago Northside gang. Well, here is Yasha at last, from a 1939 edition of the Oakland Tribune.

For sanity's sake since I may want to use this in part 2 of my Dellacroce vid, do you have anything to accompany this to confirm it's his mugshot?

Quote
This is from a wedding at Vittorio Castle on September 29, 1943.

At the time, Catena was an associate and was Zwillman’s driver. Similarly, Stassi was an associate working for Zwillman. Stacher and Katz were also a part of this gang known as the Third Ward Mob. Boiardo was the leader of his own gang. Battaglia was a Genovese solider under Willie Moretti having been an ex-Newark Family member prior

Catena and Boiardo were made into the Moretti crew a few months after this, around December 1943. Stassi was made in the early ‘50s, unclear what crew he was with.

Vittorio Castle, along with the rest of the neighborhood known as the First Ward - Newark’s Little Italy, doesn’t exist anymore. Post WW2, a lot of the Italian residents moved to the suburbs. The neighborhood itself was razed in 1953 to build public housing projects.

Bruno Member (and future Boss) Nicodemo Scarfo in a photo taken following his release from the Philadelphia Detention Center.

Scarfo, having pleaded guilty to involvement in the May 1963 fatal stabbing of William Dugan, was paroled after serving the minimum of a six to twenty-three month sentence.

As part of his parole conditions he was required to register with the local PD prior to returning to his family residence at 29 North Georgia Ave in Atlantic City.
