Just wondering SC, does the above qualify as a "snide" remark?
Still not complaing, just doing my part to assist you in "keeping some semblence of order", and pointing out specifics to the moderator, as you requested

Fully engaged 25 years ago, just maintain old friends these days
Glad you find the info useful
As for it being true, none of my handful of detractors have EVER documented a single inconsistancy, lie, falsehood or conflict in anything I have ever claimed (beleive me if they could, they would)
Everything in this thread, I had already talked about and they claimed it never happend, not that I have documented everything I have claimed...well...they struggle to save face
My own name is embedded into the thread in one of these articals, it is amusing that the internet slooths had that go totally over their heads

I'm certainly not defending this guy, but you all wanted "internet facts" and now that's a negative for him.

Whatever... Carry on.....good times....

I don't know if you're telling the truth and I don't care. But just for the record, it's more than a "handful of detractors." The poll was something like 24 to 3 in favor of you're being a fraud. The mods mercifully removed the thread to save you that embarrassment.

And again, I don't care one way or the other. I'm just pointing it out for the sake of clarity.

Why would I be embaressed?
Actually, the embarrassment should be on the part of those who I appearntly own so much space in your heads you saw a need to st up such a silly thing as a poll.
You want to co0mpletly humiliate me, catch me in a lie, an inconsistance, a misquote, a misrepresentation of the history I have first hand knowledge of.
Till then...just feel free not to beleiove ANYTHING I say, but try not to keep losing sleep over it

No.

Feel free to research the answer I gave you...his daughters name was Angela, and she was found nearly beaten to death in a ditch on the side of I95 in Florida
Good times...indeed

Cool...keep up the good work!

What about 'Ndrangheta being bunch of clowns? It's one of the most ridiculous statements I ever read on the internet.

If this guy can't definitively PROVE his identity but won't stop making such an issue of ramming his "authenticity" down our throats... Then do us a favor and ban this attention seeking douche once and for all, SC.

That's my opinion and what I'd do in your shoes (I used to admin a moderately large forum community). This is the last time I'm even going to dignify this half assed internet gangster with my time and attention.

Have you seen the Canadian incarnation in action?
I have
That is the only faction I ever commented on, and calling them clowns is an insult to kid party clowns everywhere
"The most feared OC organization in the world' uses whacked out outlaw bikers as their muscle, and sells bootleg cigarets out of the trunks of cars?
Really?

I hardly mention my background unless asked directly, you guys are a lot more fixated on than I am.
Like I said, Catch me in a lie or an inconsistency in my story.
People challenged me to show "proof" that there was indeed a war between the Colombos and Buffalo, and denied it ever happend, and I have done so in this thread.

Although his jumping up and down look-at-me attempts at seeking attention are becoming very tiring he really hasn't broken any board rules. Don't feed the troll by answering him. Ignore him.

I concur, I in fact either have used the "ignore option" or just flat out ignore the posts of several people. Great advice

can you clarify "semi-retired"

does that mean you can get called up from the minors if upstate NY needs a righty outta the bullpen?

Back top the topic...I found this while reading other things, this is one of those peces of misinformation that will not die, largely because the FBI has published similar information at one point, then later corrected it.
The Flange crew was not responsible for the murder of Marrone, the Colombo crew was. Marrone had just gotten out of prison and his first day out, Threatened Dominick Bretti. Bretti took the beef to Falcone and a sit down was arranged but it never took place, Bretti was a hothead and had Marrone whacked, claiming since he was a made guy and a capo, he didn't need permission or a sit down to take out Marrone. Falange and Marrone were far from close, and there had been conflict over territory before the marrone hit, but this is what in fact started the Colombo-Buffalo war

Anthony Falange - Utica, New York area, took over the areas rackets after Joe Falcone stepped down as the official Buffalo crime family caporegime in the early 1970's to become the Consigliere or retire. Tony Falange had been involved in a conflict with underling Al Marrone over control of the areas rackets and some believe the leadership, Marrone who has been mislabeled as a Buffalo caporegime was assassinated in 1976 for apparently threatening Falange and trying to take over. Falange and various members of his crew were indicted and arrested in the early 1990's for a 1983 bombing and a plot to kill an F.B.I. informant, Falange who had been the area boss for roughly 16 years died just before the trial began.

I own a business (Legal) where I brush up against Chicago and Rockford guys all the time, and I sometimes walk a fine line of legality. My legal retainer is not a luxury but a necessity.
If called upon by old friends to stand up I might, depending on the situation.
If ever sent for, you bet you ass I would go.

best answer ever thank you

No problem,,,and thanks

why is my text not visible if a post a longer reply

I had the same problem earlier

The Arm and Harry Knuckles have taken this disagreement to the shout box Harry is getting the best of him so far

Do tell?
LOL
he asked for proof, I posted proof
I called his bluff...the end

Arm,
What did you actually do as an associate to these families? It seems to me you really wanted to be made? You must be in your 50s-60s so there must have been a reason you were not made or asked to be?

I earned in those days by running guns between NJ, NY City and upstate NY. In those days evidence rooms and cops were like Wal mart for guns. I "reported" directly to a skipper because my dad, a made Buffalo guy, asked for him to take me under his wing.
When all hell broke loose in the late 70s,like everyone else, I got sent for and was called to the mattresses, both literally and figuratively.
We beat down the Colombos and sent most of them back to NY crying like bitches, and the home grown Utica/Rome Syracuse crew had all but given up...we won the war, but as a result some of us got pinched as well
I was looking at RICO perquisites that would have put me awy for 30 years, but I never flipped. When you have a made dad and two made uncles who the fuck can you?
In the end the Feds had fucked up my case and I ended up doing back to back misdemeanor sentences,consecutively.
When I got the world was my oyster, I stood up, didn't flip and did the right thing. There is no doubt in my mind I could have been made in a year, two tops; Instead I asked to pull back a bit, and got the nod.,,,,There is a lot more too it than that but that is it in a nutshell. Some people ask how I have knowledge of so many crews and areas, it is because I come from a family who's name allows me access and a place to hang my hat in a lot of different places
