Please, don't give some of these kids any ideas .

"Ahh Do Mobsters Coach little league team" Apparently they did when I was a young kid "

Who was the Bonanno capo that Bowat had a beef with over Long Island topless bars in the 80's?

I take it this is Bowat's father?

Yup.

Surprised this wasn't posted but as PB said if anyone touches Crea they are dead

Some of these guys must be really killing it with the recent real estate boom in NYC and Hoboken / JC area , and both families still have a very big presence in NJ garbage / recycling / transportation .

I agree with you there...The feds have been trying to break that stranglehold for years now, since the 60's.

Terrible way to go. Hopefully the poor guy didn't feel a thing.

Slightly off topic, the Cavas are all from Harlem. There were a bunch of them in the funeral business.

As many have been saying here , they have evolved and figured out no murders means no headlines and no heat . Sure some beating and talk of violence by some scary dudes but not much more than that . If you stuff a guy , they just black ball you and you lose access to credit .

You got the blue collar with gambling , loans , extortion and maybe some titty bars and restaurants and the white collar in construction , real estate and garbage. Much more business like I suppose and in all honesty Wall Street crimes by the big investment banks and hedge funds are doing more to F the average guy than CN these days and without the murders , I even think most Americans believe this . RICO really needs to be used vs the big financial service companies , I work on Wall Street and its pretty scary what this industry is allowed to get away with over and over again, but with their presence in govt and lobbyist it's sad to say the game will likely be rigged forever unless some smart prosecutor starts using RICO more frequently vs these big firms like they did with CN in the 80s, that's really the only hope . I had hoped the CFPB would change things but they are just to entrenched in govt and political donations .

I read something very interesting recently in that if TARP and other credit crisis give ways to financial institutions was given directly to the people , every family would receive $58,000.

Anyway after my pointless rant I'm sure Associates are whacked here and there but they don't get the headlines.

Good little nugget of info PB . Anyway some of these guys are just very savy when it comes to construction , real estate and garbage , you might knock em down for a but but it's pretty hard to knock em out . Just look at that recycling company in Hudson county

That's a good point, bet half the associates that get took out don't even get mentioned as LCN related.
