Quickly scrolled through this, so just so I am getting this correctly the Gambino's used the Sicilians to intimidate people they were trying to extort? I am trying to figure out how its an International case, just because there is a Sicilian guy in NY? Exactly , Sicilians in Sicily put pressure on family members still living in Sicily. I bet that it turns out to be untrue. They have a case of just a couple of guys doing what seems like the world's dumbest extortion, most of the rest including tying it to Sicily is just hype. I'm wondering if the man they wanted the money off had a previous deal with them, or they just decided to pick him as a victim.

Make fun of the mob all you want, but here lately the joke has been on the government. Most of the recent cases have been very weak, resulting in little time. I suppose refraining from whacking guys left and right has a lot to do with it. Simply shelving guys seems to have its benefits. With all the stuff going on in the world like counterterrorism, counterintelligence, cyber, public corruption, civil rights, transnational organized crime etc..the FBI is too busy, we will never see a trial again like Pizza Connection or Commission case.

According to Scott Burnstein, 86-year-old Gambino bigwig John (Jackie the Nose) D'Amico met with Sicilian mafia boss Giovan Battista Badalamenti in Palermo in August of this year Very interesting ! Badalamenti called Cali's death a blow to all in his network, saying "his death cut off all our legs", It's an exciting case H. We don't see a lot of those these days
But you had to play it cool, had to do it your way Had to be a fool, had to throw it all away
