IN HONOR OF ST. PATRICK'S DAY...BUTTONGUYS BRINGS YOU...



NEW YORK’S IRISH MOB BOSS - BIG HUGHIE MULLIGAN

Hugh (Big Hughie) Mulligan was a top Irish mobster whose real strength lay in his ability to successfully penetrate and corrupt dozens of members of New York’s Police Department where he had close connections and friendships dating back decades with many members of New York City’s then Irish-dominated police force, which in turn helped grease the wheels for the Irish Mob as well as New York's Five Families.

And although Hugh Mulligan was very well known to the police, the prosecutor’s office, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, he was scarcely known to the general public in the same way that many members of traditional organized crime families are as public figures.

In this American Mafia documentary we delve into the life and times of Hugh Mulligan and discuss his relationship with the notorious Eddie McGrath, John (Cockeye) Dunn, and others.

Once again, Button Guys and Mob Fireside Chat wishes everyone a very Happy St. Patrick's Day!

MS did a real good job with this. Very interesting and informative, about a top guy few people really know about.

The Mulligan video also kicks off a brand new ButtonGuys series of interesting biographies focusing on New York's Irish racketeers and mobsters, and the creation of the only known hierarchy chart depicting New York City's massive "Arsenal Mob."

Thanks TOG. Appreciate it. You wrote a great story - easy to understand....so makes my job simpler.

Thank you! Lol. But what can I say? except, well, thats what I do! (or at least, I try and do!) LOL LOL

If you remember, several months ago I mentioned I was working on a unique hierarchy chart and gallery focusing on New York's "Irish Mob," better known around the five boroughs in the old days as "The Arsenal Mob."

I also mentioned the revamping of our website necessitated us to put the project on the back burner, and revisit it once we relaunched. Well, the time is nearing, so over the next few weeks I'll dust it off and put the finishing touches on it.

So, for those of you who have been patiently waiting for the release of this expose', keep your peepers peeled. It won't be long now!
