Hi. A young man I know has been approached by someone to join with him because of his skills. Apparently, they've observed him for quite a while already. I hesitate to add particular info as I don't know this site very well and am wary. He's bright and has a some options in his future, but I'm worried that this will have retribution for him whether he chooses to join with them or not. I've given him advice to refuse this "opportunity" but, he might go either way as he sees a way out of poverty. I'm seeking information on what groups/people might be involved here in Southwest Michigan and just how much danger he might be in regardless. I don't know where to look. Thank you.

Sounds a little like Marlo but this season of starz "Power" has its main character Ghost getting some newbie into the game as well

Lol. This is a real situation though, as fantastic as it may seem. Do you guys know how to find info about local "chapters"?

LOL.. Yes, go down to the local library and they should be able to point you in the direction of the south western chapter of the Michigan Mafia.

*Goes up to librarian*

Excuse me, miss. Would you happen to know a contact number for the boss of the Southwestern chapter of the Michigan Mafia?

Why yes, sir. Mr. Butch "Moose Knuckles" Musso can be contacted at *redacted*

Just leave a message with his receptionist.

"Chapters"? What are we talking about here? Motorcycle Clubs?

He was pretty vague

Last time I was thinking of joining up I put an ad on craigslist, but then they told me about the pin prick and burning that card in my hand at it just seemed like to much work, so I joined the local moose lodge instead

Give my regards to Bullwinkle.

If you have any luck, let me know.. Id be curious to see if the Boise, ID chapter of the Gambino family is selling buttons. I could run their fantasy football rackets.

Wrong. You need the RESEARCH librarian, not the regular librarian. Just kidding.

You have to provide more info. Are you talking about Benton Harbor? Biker gangs? Latino gangs? What?

guess you got lucky in surviving the great moose-elk war of 2010

Can't believe the family is still intact after Joe 'The Moose' Moosino ratted in recent months. Really took down a majority of the heavy weights in the family.
