Are these zips that were here already or is he bringing them from the old country himself? You can't just import them like anchovies  . But seriously, it's all moot anyway. They're not letting him make them  .

You're right about the Westside, they don't fool with zips. Bet Devita wishes he was under the Gambino's, they'd have given him carte blanche

You're right about the Westside, they don't fool with zips. Bet Devita wishes he was under the Gambino's, they'd have given him carte blanche Ding, ding, ding. And I was praying that no one would ask me why. It's because it's so obvious (and you'll understand this, Tommy). More than half of the Sicilian-born LCN types in Jersey and Staten Island are related to the Gambinos (The Mafia family and the ACTUAL family). Hell, maybe MORE than half. There's no way in Hell the Westside is making guys who are second and third cousins to Gambino guys in Cherry Hill, Staten Island and Bensonhurst. No fucking way. And yeah, Sil's way up there anyway. Gotta be close to ninety.

So true, I mentioned it earlier in this thread, it's scary how many Sicilian born relatives the Gambino's have, you've got to wonder how many have been made since the Sicilians took the reigns, the safe bet would be a shit load. PB, you not been on the other site for a while, reply to my PM you prick

It's a serious question given the fact that people talk about the talent pool drying up constantly yet Devito has a ton of zips just hanging around NJ that he can't get made. Given that I live in NJ and both my parents are off the boat, I'm surprised there are that many (I'm assuming) young zips around that a Genovese capo wants to make. From what I know, it doesn't seem like there are many Italians immigrating to Italy en masse like in the old days. Many young Italians coming over these days are educated professionals. Again, I could be wrong as I don't run in those circles. I was asking PB an honest question as he is probably the most knowledgeable poster around. Go through some of my posts on here or RD. I've been around these forums since 1998 and NEVER get into arguments. NEVER. But you're out of line here, Tommy.

PB, you not been on the other site for a while, reply to my PM you prick I've been too busy with my father, Tommy. Plus, the stress is getting to me, too. I'm dealing with a minor health issue of my own right now. It's all heart-stress related, so the last thing I need in my life right now is arguing with some kids about people and an era that existed before they were born. Plus, there's that ONE SCUMBAG who refuses to go away. No way I let him give me a heart attack. I'll lay you three to five that he's dead of an overdose before I have a heart attack. Anyway, what pm? Here or there? I honestly don't see it. Resend it and I'll get back to you no later than tomorrow. I promise.

Sorry if I offended you Baldo, that wasn't my intention & my post wasn't directly taking a shot at you, it's more to do with the thousand posts I've seen on here to do with LCN bringing zips over, you've always been a good poster from the day I signed up here and I am out of line, forgive me I've been on the beer all day You probably know more about LCN then me, I've only been interested a few years and am a thousand miles away. I could be wrong but I think the zips around Devita are distant relatives of his.

I was asking PB an honest question. It's because they're all too close to the Gambinos in some way, shape or form. Simple as that, Baldo. You and Tommy are both good guys and quality posters. Play nice .

Thanks, PB. And thanks, Tommy...I guess took your post the wrong way. Maybe I'm getting ornery in my old age...about to turn the big 4-0 in July!  At least you're not 55, like PB I'm loving being 24 Now you can both go fuck yourselves .

This whole zip thing has been terribly exaggerated. The fact of the matter is this, italians rarely come to this country any more, never mind some sicilians who want to get into and learn american rackets that no longer work.
Why would some sicilian want to come here and not only take bets but learn all about american sports? You could argue there are some that visit and get involved with drugs, im not disputing that, what i am disputing is the myth that they may take over. That's absolutely correct. I say it all the time. Even if the immigration laws still favored Western Europeans (and they clearly don't), who says they want to come here anyway? This isn't 1900 where America is THAT much better off than Europe. If you're going to stay poor anyway, why uproot your life and leave a beautiful country? I was merely pointing out that I know for an absolute fact that Sil was told not to propose any of the Sicilians that are here ALREADY. Because they're all too close to the Gambinos.

I think Joe Saunders absorbed that crew. Saunders Jr. is based in Brooklyn. He is now in charge of the Bonanno's Bayonne crew? Even with Sammartino getting out of prison? I don't dispute this I'm just asking. Seems strange to have a Brooklyn capo running the Bayonne/Jersey City Bonanno's.

It's similar to Sisca, he's the top guy in Jersey but also a top guy in the Bronx with the Gambino's. That's a fair analogy. Funzi had been acting for Louie for awhile. What's funny is, Louie was in a similar situation for years himself. He got off in East Harlem, expanded into the Bronx and Westchester, and ended up with part of North Jersey, too. Hell, he even had Connecticut. When Gotti "gave" Connecticut to Tommy Gambino in was just a gesture. In name only. Braciole was the real strength there the entire time Tommy was officially the skipper (late '80s and early '90s), right up until Tony Megale came home and made skipper himself.
