Also Milton Mcgregor is part of the celt crew along with will snell and carlton russell. Milton mcgregor owns Victoryland casino. Intriguing. Why haven't we heard more about the "Celt" crew in the "Dixie Mafia" Also on another note related to Southern organized crime. State Line Mob and "Cornbread mafia" anyone? I'm sure they could be labeled as part of the "Dixie Mafia" tradition in the "Good Ol' boy network" sense.

These guys are not criminal masterminds, nor are they some huge organised force. They're a bunch of loosely affiliated criminals, probably more concerned with their own rackets than any real cooperation. Any real power they had is long gone. The term "Dixie Mafia" is just that, a loose term to describe certain organised criminals in the South.

The Dixie Mafia? Probably just a nickname reporters have given in the past to individual crooks down south. Anything from guys running bootleg cigarettes to corrupt politicians. Yeah very true. Apparently tho the term was first coined by the media as a moniker for a specific network of guys from Biloxi, Missisippi that are no longer active since the mid 80s. Today, however, the term is thrown around to mean any loose confederation or network of Southern criminals, I think. Actually, I think the "good ol' boys" notion a very apt description. These guys are not criminal masterminds, nor are they some huge organised force. They're a bunch of loosely affiliated criminals, probably more concerned with their own rackets than any real cooperation. Any real power they had is long gone. The term "Dixie Mafia" is just that, a loose term to describe certain organised criminals in the South. That's exactly how I thought of it. Media sensationalism. There's no real hierarchy. And from what I've read it's more like a network like yous aid of Southern criminals doing favours, as well as crooked civilians helping them out too. For anyone interested I think the term Dixie Mafia can be applied to several groups *There's the group that first held the name Dixie Mafia - Network of burglars who traveled around during the 60's, eventually running into the K&A Gang I believe who did a similar thing down south. They soon returned to their respective homes where they engaged in a wide array of other criminal activities. *State Line Mob - A loose confederation of SOuthern criminals around the Mississippi-Tennessee state line. Were involved in bootlegging, gambling, prostitution, tourist fleecing, robbery, and murder. Many member were from Phenix. The South's SIn City as someone above said. HEavily active during the 60s, and had a fued with a Sheriff Pusser that became the basis for the movie "Walking Tall" *Cornbread Mafia - A marijuana growing/smuggling operation of massive proportions that stretched from Kentucky to several other neighboring states *Andrew C. Thornton II's "The Company" A drug smuggling ring also based in Kentucky. Mainly prolifferating COlombian cocaine. The ringleader met his death after a faulty parachuting accident resulting in the death by overdose of a mature bear, amongst other things *The Celt's Crew Carlton Russell's little-known group of Irish or Scotch-Irish (most likely) SOuthern criminals with ties to the New Orleans crime family and the K&A Gang That's all the Dixie Mafia "groups" I could find. Gotta be more out there.

DOn't forget the Cracker Mob, the Florida-based criminal organization run for decades by Harlan Blackburn. The cracker mob was extremely close with the Trafficante family, often sharing personnel in gambling operations. Guys like Sam Cacciatore, Sam Mondello, and Nick Furci were heavily involved in bookmaking and bolita in the rural counties of Florida. Santo Jr was also tied in with members of the Dixie Mafia, like George Fuqua. And the Trafficantes also had business interests in Phenix City. I have an article on the Cracker Mob in the new issue of Cigar City Magazine ( www.cigarcitymagazine.com)

You know, I find the Dixie Mafia extremely interesting. Maybe it has to do with the fact that, just like the African-American groups, the Dixie Mafia is a criminal organization formed by a group of people 'unique' to the United States : the Southerners ( you can't deny the fact that the African-Americans, Native Americans and white Southerners are the three peoples most unique to the USA). But I don't really know what the state is on them know or what to make of them. They are said to be extremely ruthless and violent. They are also said to be still very active. Some even say they are a very large group. But then again, if you count every Southerner that trafficks drugs and weapons, does contract hits, extorts businesses,...as a member of the 'Dixie Mafia' then yeah, of course you will get a large number of members lol

Nobody like them in this country.

Pell City, Alabama. That's where you want to research info about the Dixie Mafia. They were a real entity.

Thnx for the tip Luan ! I mostly love these kind of books This has nothing to do with Southern OC, but for those interested in British crime firms I can recommend Judas Pig. It is a nightmarish look at the East End London crime firms. Stuff that happens in this book is said to be real. Thanks for the lik looks interesting. For anyone from Britain it says this on the books amazon page BANNED BY THE RICHARD AND JUDY BOOK CLUB! Cam whats the Richard and Judy Book Club ? Like a Goodhousekeeping Seal of approval >>??

They're a married couple who used to be early morning tv presenters in the UK. Which implies they read the book then banned it from their book cllub http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnFktxDOZhcYou should turn the vid off after a couple of seconds because they're incredibly dull
