Little_Frankie do you know anything about some other guys mentioned like Bobby Rennell, Eddie Insogna. Also he claims to have taken a guy name George Mortimer into his crew as a favor to Beav. You know anything about those guys? Another guy is Brian Porreca who Silverman says was a suspect in several Medford-area murders, was he a serious guy like that? I remember Perreca and Insogna. IIRC, Porreca was a boxer/trainer. He died about 10 years ago in Vegas where he was living at the time. I never got the impression he was a killer. A tough guy, sure but not a killer. Insogna was just another Malden/Medford kid who hung around the wannabes. His 15 minutes of fame came when he found Patsy Squillante with 2 bullet holes in his head. Since then, I haven't heard anything from or about him. As for the others like Bobby Rennell, I have NEVER heard those names. My gut tells me that Bobby Rennell was an alias given to protect his true identity. He did mention in the beginning of his book that some of the names have changed to protect some people. If you look at the names he throws out there, all of the real ones have something in common, they are either dead or in jail. That makes me think the others with aliases are still active. If that's the case, I have an idea who Bobby Rennell might be based on when he was away in the book, what he went away for, his physical description and who he had problems with. In fact, I'm almost sure I can guess who it is. The Mortimer character, I have no clue.

Another thing I found suspicious about his book is that the mobsters he mentions ALL had cases against them around the time and they were all over the news and papers back then. It would be pretty easy to just read the papers back then and plug yourself in to the plot. I don't remember him mentioning one guy who was on the street but NOT in the news. And the guys who were active but NOT in the news were the ones doing all the hustling and making all the dough. Does anyone else find it ironic that he doesn't mention ONE of those guys?
This guy reminds me of a dude who watched the movie Titanic and a week later started telling his friends how he was on a boat one time off the coast of Nova Scotia and hit an ice berg............. You get the idea.

Did you guys notice how horribly written the book is, spelling wise??? It is like it never even got proofread.
Also. How does this Mark fella get to walk around Medford still with this blatant bullshit he speaks in his book? I know for a fact he owns an hvac company in Medford. How come no one give him an ass beating? Because the only people he mentions by their reals names are either dead or in jail. Someone should find him and invite him here for a little Q&A. There are enough locals here who know the truth that it would takes us about 3 questions t have suffocated in his own lies and bullshit. What's his companies name?

Even though there was a bunch of blatant bullshit in that book I did find it interesting for the simple fact that I was always at Paulie boys when that shit was going down. I even helped paint that gym and remember some nights with a bunch of guidos coming into the joint dufflebags filled god knows what...shooting rounds into the dumpster in the middle of the night. So many rumor were going around that Paulie was connected and had friends in NY and from that aspect it made it an interesting read for me. Anyway, I don't know the name but a friend of mine down in Medford told me he has a company down there and also is always getting arrested for drunk driving and shit like that.

The one good thing about this book is that it made me finally want to read Last Rites which i'm doing right now. It should take me a couple of days so I'll let you know what I think.

Last Rites, whats it about? It's a short book but it's basically the story of Gigi Portalla and the Boston Mob wars. http://www.amazon.com/Last-Rites-MA-Final-Boston/dp/1596298340

I admit, when I read the book and came across the 'Paul D' chapter I was surprised to have never heard of him considering the stature Silverman gives him. And I was definitely confused when he was calling him the leader or boss of the renegades. But what I did was overlook it and tried to enjoy the book Ya. I think this right here proves that Silverman was not made and not someone of true significance and power ... He made Paul out to be like this up and comer who was to become the boss of the Patriarca family if the war was one. I think if anything PAul was being strung along to do dirty work and really believed he was going to be a capo in a few years when Ray got out and spread this word to low level dealers like Silverman who in turn gave Paul the respect of being a real big shot because Mark himself was even lower on the pole than Paul and totally duped by him.

Southend, How big were Tierney's Brother-in-laws Robert and Daniel Eremian and they were with another guy named Lyons, they are from salem ma. They weren't big in OC at all. In fact, I would say they were completely disconnected in OC. However, they were huge in the off shore gambling world. They used to own SOS (Sports Off Shore) which was a sports gambling operation in Antigua. You could either call an 800 number or put your bets in online with a credit card. If you had the hook up, you could call or play online and then meet a local agent to pay or collect. This is where they got in to trouble.

Whitey Bulger trial witness Stephen Rakes found dead http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/07/...found-dead?liteNo obvious signs of trauma to the body. From what I've heard this guy wasn't an innocent victim as he made himself out to be. Any of our Boston guys know any more?

Little tidbit from the paper, from the paper : "Stippo Steven Rakes, was a huge ARSONIST, a killer of his first wife with a frying pan, he was a troubled son, troubled brother, troubled friend,I'm not going to say Im gald he is dead because he has a child, but this was not a good man. Here is one for out of towners, Rakes older brother is married to Keven weeks younger sister. Any of you who think weeks did this, please dont be, Kevin if not for whitey would be in jail, becasue he would have joined the gang that counldnt shoot straight. People this is not bad news of Rakes death. Only a hand full of people talked to Stippo, not becasue of whitey, Southie just didnt like him."
Colin Sullivan: "What Freud said about the Irish is: We're the only people who are impervious to psychoanalysis."
Cincotti said: "They don't have the scruples that we have." Zannino agreed. "You know how I knew they weren't Italiano? When they bombed the fucking house. We don't do that."
