Choose a event in the history of LCN that you would have
Wanted to see 1st hand or somehow been a part of

There are a few incidents I’d like to go back to and prevent. The events are all similar because they revolve around an innocent person being killed by the mob. First April 19, 1979. Somehow I would warn Dominick Ragucci to stay away from the Demeo house. Secondly March 18 1980. Would also wish I could somehow prevent Frank Gotti and John Favara’s deaths

I wanted to be around Lucky Luciano in the 1920s to 1936. Imagine all that dope and those hookers.

The commission meeting between Gotti, Gravano, the chin, gaspipe and Vic

Agreed. And I would add Veronica Zuraw. She was a former nun, who was killed in her own kitchen in the early 80s by a shotgun blast meant for a mob guy.

If I had a magic lamp,I would have loved to have been part of the 1929 Mob convention in Atlantic City. There was so much going on that I've enclosed a Wikipedia link rather than try to type a lot here. Check it out. It was a major event in the history of American OC.

Couple different events, eras.
1. Part of royal court structure from Sicily that Joe Bonnano refers to where he and others get their prince like status
2. Around the time of the plot and murders of Joe Masseria and Salvatore Marrazano
3. P2 and Roberto Callvi
4. Dino, Frank, the Kennedys, Marilyn Monroe and Vegas
5. Lastly the Corleonesi from Leggio to Riina

I'd like to have been a fly on the wall at the Apalachin meeting in '57, and the Atlantic City convention in '29. Also, any of the meetings Lansky had with Batista in Havana.

Disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa

I'd probably be one of the captains in the Genovese family attending the Apalachin meeting in 1957.

I would watch the Apalachin meeting and the fat mobsters that try to escape during the police raid.

lol lol

i'll choose whatever was in the 40s - 50s
i believe my my dear friend michael giovanni will too

I would like to be sitting in on the meeting with the chin and Tony cap

1. Hoffa murder (and the pre & post hit meetings)

2. Be in Montreal post Vito Rizzuto going to prison in the US until present day. It’s like a game of Clue trying to figure who’s on what side and who killed who!

Good one mee too

I would go back in time and cum on your mom's back so I wouldn't have to read your thread. Also I'd like to go back the day before the Powerball lottery was drawn and pick the numbers.

I spent a reasonable amount of time with Michael Genovese. Apalachin and/or any thing about it was never discussed with me nor did I hear him talk about it with anyone else.

Lol you’re absolutely right Meyer!

I would want to be sitting in on the discussions with the Genovese leadership and panels.

Vincent Gigante; Salerno; Bobby Manna.

Frank Tieri; Anthony Salerno; and Ben Lombardo.

Catena; Miranda; Eboli.... Lombardo.


I want to see which guys had the most clout and final say. Its a interesting discussion. Anyone know?

That's a controversial topic. I think It depends on the time period.

However, I recently found this newspaper article that featured bugged conversations between Pussy Russo and Angelo Sica.

At one point Russo says:
"When they made Andy (Gerardo), first the Old Man (Ruggerio Boiardo) tried to push it through, through Funzi, to make it, to make the kid (Tony Boiardo) acting caporegime. Benny Squint, which is the real boss, knocked it down. He said forget about it. Fat Tony knocked it down."
