The internet has been around for a while, use it. No one in the Genovese family would do anything but laugh at you, you wannabe.

Philadelphia has around 55 members in total, with 25 to 30 being active.

^ sad to see that JC managed to upset you to the point of making you losing your cool.

Comparing the American LCN to other crime groups is more than normal for those interested in the dynamics of global organized crime.

As countlessly proven by several reports and indictments, they’re definitely not just a mere glorified street gang. The Mob’s scope, power and overall influence isn’t nearly as diminished as many hope it would have by the new millennium. Matter of fact, several law enforcement agencies went as far as admitting how wrong they were in calling the Mob a “thing of the past”. There are many statements where officials share their worries concerning contemporary LCN.

For instance, we know how very few criminal organizations can rival the five families in many lucrative illegal activities in the in the tri-state area. It’s also clear how old connections to families overseas are still in place.

Bugsy and Lansky weren’t remotely as “key” to the greatness of the US mob as you make it sound. Luciano was a great strategist and reformist but the Mafia was powerful long before he came along.

I don’t know who those “rats” you mentioned are supposed to be. Wiseguys or the average working class Italian-American. I imagine it’s the wiseguys, but if it’s the latter, then I’d advise you to take a break from the internet.

Plenty of us Italian-Americans have all the right to define ourselves “Italian” for a plethora of cultural, ethnic and historical reasons that I’m not going to write down out of respect for your common sense.

This said, I’m sorry that JC (or whoever has hacked his profile) pissed you off. Just ignore this troll and he’ll stop messing with the boards.

i wrote this in rage
and i didn't express myself the right way (and i meant to different things then i wrote)
so i'm sorry if i hurt anyone
i will edit my post...
thanks for pointing this out to me luan !

Meyer is a quality poster who is friendly with everyone on here and is an asset to the board. You calling him a dummy is about as immature and low class as can be.

thank you my friend

No worries whatsoever Meyer, god knows how many times I lost my temper on these boards due to some loser keyboard bully. At the end of the day it wasn’t worth it. They don’t want to learn anything, they’re just breaking b*lls.

you right
thank you

There are guys that read posts just to flame !

These guys were doing it constantly when I first got on this site and for no reason other then it’s the only place they can act like a tough guy ..... remember most tough guys would never come at a guy on a Internet forum .

But they are still here just reading everyone’s posts just waiting to attack some kid that is just asking a question here or trying to find info.

These people that do this are real punks and would never survive in the city’s and neighborhoods they read about or post about.

JC from what someone I respect told me is or was not one of these guys so possibly someone has got into his account.

Some of these flames are guys that will not let anyone say or post anything out of complete fact backed up by Fed reports but remember this is just a Internet forum for entertainment .

There are many of them here lurking just waiting to jump on some kid from the middle of nowhere looking for info or trying to fit in.

Many of these guys have a couple screen names and are on other forums just waiting to bully some kid form Arkansas for asking or commenting something that’s not worthy.

thanks

Meyer

I have a bunch of screen names blocked so I have no clue if they are talking shit or not ......it’s a Internet forum !

Don’t sweat it .

I'm drunk happy new year guys !

have a great year holla !!
may you always be happy and healthy
