I was researching about organized crime groups, and I found one I have never heard of before, they're called the Maceo Crime Syndicate, has anyone ever heard of them? It says the formed in Galveston, Texas, and they were warring with another OC group called the Downtown Gang. I find something new on OC everyday.

Yeah, they were connected to the Fertittas, as well as Carlos Marcello.

I would love some information on old school Texas LCN.

Thanks Furio! That's actually really interesting. If there were more Italians to recruit from they prob could've kept it going.

So the Maceos were soldiers in the Galveston faction of the Dallas crime family, because I see them mentioned as soldiers in the chart of that site you posted Furio..

I thought they were an independent organization..

Those sites Furio posted cannot be trusted. The Maceos were not lcn, but they had connections, specifically with the dallas family and by extension, new orleans.
