The feds dont just make this stuff up. Capeci has both law enforcement and underworld sources confirming Bellomo is the boss. And the feds could bring an indictment either way. If you look at mob cases, the prosecution will often spell out every position the guy has had right up until the present.

In a breach of the Mafia’s oath of silence, Bellomo acknowledged in court papers last week that he once ran the Genovese crime family – but claimed he found religion in prison and dropped out of the mob.

“Barney was acting boss up until his conviction in 1997, but since then, he has not had any role in the affairs of the Genovese crime family,” Levin said.

Describing Bellomo’s life behind bars, Levin told Kaplan the former mob big “has changed his life. He became religious and has spent the last 11 years trying to keep his kids on the straight and narrow.”

Those are good points, but it bears noting, that the feds also thought Salerno was the boss, when it was really Gigante. Therefore there information isn't always faultless. I think we should actually wait until someone like the present boss of the Genovese is indicted so that we can review the evidence against him. It will spell out the government's theory and case.

You could be right though.

Deadbeat gamblers, down on their luck businessmen and drug addicts aren't killers.

Bellomo is a murdering shitbag. And other people's money paid for his daughter's education so she could be house counsel for the mob.

It is what it is.

Moe what do you want his daughter to do? What her dad does for a living is beyond her control.

She could of easily gone the route of being a "housewife" for some random wiseguy but instead she became a completely legitimate lawyer and that is still not enough for you.

We are in a time period where people realize the government is corrupt and the media is used to sell nonsense to the people, yet we are quoting and speculating on news paper articles.
If there is no "Organized Crime" there is no "Organized Crime" task force and then the "Organized Crime" tasks force looses their cushy job and have to go chase terrorists. So what do you do? You put together a story with more gaping holes than a kardashian, and wait for people to chirp about it on their spare time while other people are busy working.
if anyone was an expert on this lifestyle and what this individual is doing, you'd realize the only reason for the Govt trying to build him up to put him away is because he is peaceful. That's bad for the "Organized crime" task force business. They'd rather everything play out like a gangster movie and let repeat murderers and drug dealers back out on the streets. This isn't rocket science this is a business question for all of the scholars on this forum. If you're in the business of putting away "Criminals" do you want peace? Or do you want chaos so you're guaranteed a job?

Shifting gears, any background on DiChiaria?


People spend a lot of time on the familiar names, I never hear of these DiChiarias or Victor Colletti types...

Ivy Dont get mouse trapd skip past it. Carolina 24 Denver 20 Peyton poops himself in the end but they cover.

Hahaha when you refer to IvyLeague, is that on the short Bus? Or were you head of your law enforcement class in Kansas City?
Do I know better? Yes, I've worked for many of organized crime attorneys as opposed to..: let's say you, on your 1990's hp, staring out of your barn window looking at the goat you're going to plow later, then sign onto an organized crime website to make you feel like a tough guy.
The difference between a person like me and... You is I learn hands on. If I want to know about something I get a job and form an opponion, while you read 3rd party opinions and think you know somebody that knows somebody that knows somebody.

Does the name Lindley Devecchio ring any bells for you? As I recall he was an FBI agent who was worse than any of these guys you all talk about on here. I'll bet there are plenty more like him too out there. They hate smart people, because they are so dumb themselves. The smart guys they try to frame are bad for business, and that is a fact!

Two guys join up the same day, become instant fans of each other, yet become belligerent when it comes to long standing members. And they both signed up THE SAME DAY that I made my first post in months. Familiar, much?

I'm not catching another heart attack for nobody. And after today or tomorrow, I won't be posting again at all because I'm heading south to recuperate in a more serene setting. I'll be back in a month or so. I'm only making this post for the benefit of the boards and the good-willed. longtime members here. And of course for the mods.

Hope you're wrong but afraid you may be right. I'm not a Broncos fan but am a Manning fan and would love to see the Broncos upset, Manning redeem himself after his last two Super Bowls, and go out with a second ring.



I don't know who you've been talking to, or maybe you're just on something, but you've got several things wrong. Contrary to popular rumor, I've never been a member of law enforcement. I was a juvenile probation officer, but that deals more with the courts, and I dont do that anymore. I've never been to Kansas City.

You can play the act of being the savvy insider from NY here to clue all us country bumpkins in of the facts but nobody is going to buy it. These forums have seen a legion of internet pretenders like yourself come and go. The surest sign of these types is the "I'm from NY line and you really have to be from there to know" line. You played that card almost immediately. Oops.
