Interesting current mob rumors out of Southwestern Wisconsin:

- Kenosha

For legal reasons I can’t name any specific names, but at least a handful of ‘made men’ still live in Milwaukee. The bulk of organized crime in the state today is centered in Kenosha but don’t count Milwaukee out just yet—The Mafia is a candle that’s hard to snuff out.


Kenosha is 12% Italian, lots of Calabrese people. They kept moving there well into the 1970’s.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the Ndrangheta uses it as a quiet off-the-radar “bank town” (a location for money laundering, not for street-level rackets) similarly to Thunder Bay, Ontario.

- Racine

I think Italians in Racine went downhill when DeRango’s got busted. I remember Joe Athens and his crazy mom. He went down in PA with a van full of money he was laundering for the mob. So his mom had his mansion and everything while he was locked up. At least the ballistrieris still have the loot.

So much of the SE WI mob was not even italian. One of the leaders of the Keno mob was a guy named Oberlin.

Regarding so much of the Milwaukee mob not being Italian, I think that's a Chicago thing. Outfit always prioritized money and political clout over Italian tradition.


"...the successful annihilation of organized crime's subculture in America would rock the 'legitimate' world's foundation, which would ultimately force fundamental social changes and redistributions of wealth and power in this country. Meyer Lansky's dream was to bond the two worlds together so that one could not survive without the other." - Dan E. Moldea
