Again, you're (intentionally) confusing the issue. While nobody would disagree with the fact that no family has the status it did 50 years ago, there are families that still exist and others that simply don't. But some are intent on blurring that distinction. Speculation, when there is nothing else to go on, is fine. But when there's a host of evidence that shows there is no family left in New Orleans, to speculate there is one (or outright claim as much) is both dishonest and just plain ridiculous.


Mods should mind their own business and leave poster's profile signatures alone.

Consider skipping the, if it bothers you so much that people want to talk and guess what's going on in certain cities.


While I understand your point Chitown, let's not call New Orleans or Tampa a "family." And I believe you misinterpreted the previous statements. The source for the "posters" is the U.S. Justice Department and the FBI. Technically, you could call a gang of african americans who are robbing houses "an organized crime" ring since it takes some organization by the members to rob a house.

I don't know what is so hard to understand that the only families still in existence that are LCN are: The 5 in NY, Chicago, Philly, New Jersey, New England (which is in bad shape and closer to going extinct) and Detroit. I'd have to say that the U.S. Justice Department and the FBI know a little more about the topic than you do.


Assimilation has done more to decimate the mob than the FBI has done. Outside of NYNJ there is no more recruiting ground and hasn't been for decades

If I say I'm "On the street, and in the know" like other posters do, will it be more believable that there is no family left in New Orleans????

Cause I can totally go that route if it ends the debate, since some guys refuse to believe in the facts...

Most here agree that it is not very likely that a mafia family structure still exists. These guys are the leftovers who haven't died off yet.

Every day, somebody's looking to dispose of you and take your position. You always got to be on your toes. Every fucking day is a scam day to keep your power and position."

They somehow put a block so their name can't be posted...There's another guy from the Colombo's who's name can't be posted either.

So you are claiming that New Orleans still has a structured mafia family? Not just remnants left over from a defunct mafia family, correct? The Justice Department and the FBI must not know what they are talking about.

Here is an article and a statement from the Police Chief in Metairie, LA.

http://www.nola.com/crime/index.ssf/2014/07/sniper_van_found_in_metairie_b.html

**These statements by Police Chief Rick Richard:

"Gagliano's father, "Muffaletta Frank" Gagliano, and his boss, Anthony Carollo, "considered" themselves the heirs to the mob once run by Carlos Marcello, evidence from the '90s federal prosecution showed. Over meals at a back table at Frank's restaurant on Decatur Street, "the crew plotted the revival of the Marcello syndicate," with an infusion of cash from a clandestine entry into Louisiana's newly created legal gambling market, and an alliance with New York Mafia families.

"But it never amounted to much more than talk, Richard said. And the gangsters never called on the expertise of snipers to protect their racket. They seemed not to resort much to violence at all, Richard said."

"Those guys would say, 'This guy better not cross me, or else', like they were godfathers. But we never saw any of that," Richard said. "We never saw any violence from them."

When the "local" Police Chief makes a statement that Gagliano and Corallo "considered" themselves godfathers, that says it all. On the local police level, the cops are even laughing at the fact that these guys think they are the head of a family. New Orleans went down the tubes when Carlos Marcello died. Some leftovers? Yes. Were they recognized as a family from law enforcement and other families? No.

Remnants of a family doesn't mean that New Orleans has a powerful, structured LCN family.

You read his comment wrong bugsy, he's saying that there is not a structured family in New Orleans anymore.

No Bugsy, you read that wrong. I'm saying the Nola family is gone, finished, non-existant, pick your word to say its the end.

Every three to four months a guy from Louisiana will join here and claim the Nola family is alive, then disappear after three posts.

Cause I can totally go that route if it ends the debate, since some guys refuse to believe in the facts...


So you are claiming that New Orleans still has a structured mafia family? Not just remnants left over from a defunct mafia family, correct? The Justice Department and the FBI must not know what they are talking about.


No Bugsy, you read that wrong. I'm saying the Nola family is gone, finished, non-existant, pick your word to say its the end.

Every three to four months a guy from Louisiana will join here and claim the Nola family is alive, then disappear after three posts.


My bad man. Thank you for clarifying.

People have to remember, or be made aware of, that the New Orleans family was already considered largely finished even back when the video gambling bust happened in the 1990's. Gravano talked about how one of the reasons the Gambinos and Genovese moved into that territory was because they were told the Marcellos didn't mean anything anymore. Law enforcement later found that those two NY families happened to partner up with what was left of the New Orleans family in the video gambling case. Not unlike what the remnants of the Trafficante family did with the Gambinos. Anyway, fast-forward 20 years and, even with this recent "sniper van" story, to argue or even speculate there is a crime family in New Orleans is absurd.

New Orleans is dead. Tampa get a breath once in a while, but I don't see that family reviving unless the New York families or Chicago transfers their soldiers and associates who operates in Florida and the Gulf to them, but there is a better chance of us finding out what was on those missing minutes from the Nixon tapes than those families giving Tampa a life line.

If New Orleans has a family, than Joe Gaglione is going around with a shovel bringing members out of retirement down there.

Some say that Michael T. and his brother has a small gang down there. But they also say they have a hard time fearing for someone who will give you a refund for missing tomatoes...They probably have a couple of illegal card games and what not. They can make good money on that seeing Louisiana isn't very competative.

It's simple, as LaLou said there is no family there anymore. I don't doubt there are guys still operating there but not as a true family.

There is not even good money in illegal card games these days. Why risk it when you can go to the casino and get a better shot to win than in a rigged game unless you are looking for money from a shy.

I think it was Gagliano that scammed some casinos in Biloxi, that shows you how bad things are in NOLA for this so called family.

Ivy nailed it on the head. They were dead in the 90's and the Gambino's and Genovese's probably only let the remnants of what was left tag along out of respect for Nola being the first ones on the block and to have someone local on the scene to watch the scam.

There's really not that much money to be made in illegal card games. There are casinos statewide in Louisiana and to think they are pulling some 80K "Executive Game" like in the Sopranos is just comical.

Sure you have your books and whatnot, but every few years the state police crack down and arrest a boatload of people associated with illegal gambling, which once again, there's never any mention of LCN or Nola being alive.

One guy gets caught with a "Assassin Van" with a 77 year old driver and every mob groupie comes out of he woodwork in Louisiana claiming the family is stronger than ever!! rolleyes

Hey Dixie...Geaux Tigers! wink

Once again you are missing the point. Tax free or not you'll be treated BETTER at a casino (which they are everywhere in NOLA now) than you would at some back room game where the stakes will be no where near the amount you can play for at the big places.

They don't have to go to Vegas, casinos are everywhere in Louisiana and Mississippi. Do you know anything about NOLA other than what you read on Wiki? Some of us have actually put our feet down there more than once and know what we are talking about.
