3. Did said individual ( s) talk about or hint at their status as members of organized crime groups ?


You do realize these are questions a Fed would ask..By the way You don't walk up and ask them..Lol...and they don't discuss #3.


Oh don't get me wrong , I definitely don't want anyone to incriminate themselves , but many posters on this thread ( and others) have stated somewhat incriminating things about themselves so it's not like my questions would result in charges being pressed or anything like that .

FWIW I actually knew lots of professional criminals in my teenage days , but I wouldn't call them gangsters , which is why I haven't written about them in this thread . I'm probably gonna be starting up a thread about this particular ( as I like to call it ) " Czech Outlaw Crime Network " in the future though .


I can answer all your questions..but Honestly I'm Here to input information if I know it ..I Grew up in Gravesend, lived in Besonhurst, Canarsie and owned a Business in Ozone Park and Howard Beach ...To your Question #3...Nobody ever discussed status or affiliations. If you did, then You're a Nobody important.

Damn you lived in a lot of mafia populated areas dude. You must have a lot of good stories growing up

It's a weird dichotomy.

If I was a Fed the way there is another, more cerebral way, of phishing for info. One that is less obvious. They have a lot more access to, and knowledge of these guys, than anybody here. They could easily portray themselves as a mob aficionado Joe Shmoe while seeking to corroborate, or expand, info they are already privy to. These guys aren't idiots!

Another thing - there are guys who are described as legitimate named and brought up on this site on a fairly regular basis and if I was in their shoes, and if I was truly legitimate (people have a way of distorting that term), I wouldn't be delighted to have my name brought up on a website like this and associated with known felons! If they are truly legitimate that is!


Good summary Moe.

Yes it was VERY interesting...Some guys were great, some you stayed away from especially the ones involved in the drug rackets..There's always that fine line and you have to know the repercussions of stepping over..Sometimes easy Money isn't really Easy...You can loose a lot, especially your Family..

Real wiseguys probably just use the internet to check gambling sites and watch the lines. Maybe Amazon to buy tracksuits, too. They probably also make Youtube playlists of old songs.

Back around 1990, I saw Joe Butch at his Cafe Biondo, (now closed). It was around 9 at night, he was outside the door talking with a few guys. Within a few more minutes, he was picked up by his son Vincent in a Chevy Blazer. I went back the next day, late in the morning & he was sitting at a table with 2 older women.

Reading about Joe Butch. Castellano guy who got out of prison in the late 90's and showed no respect to Peter Gotti. Good for him.

Things you learn: Joe Butch is into milfs.


I invoke my right under the 5th amendment of the United States constitution and decline to answer the question.

Pretend like he is not on here

He says the stuff he says to get a rise out of people don't play into it.

He will.just go.away

Guys like him take away from the value of a board like this.

Who asked you to stick your beak in?

You're resurrecting comments that are almost two weeks old.

Anyone would think you're trying to start some drama.
