That seems highly, HIGHLY doubtful to me. Especially being able to generate big time $$$ from something like that. Or beastiality? Really? I don't put it past them to have tried to make money off it if that's the case, I just don't see how there'd be a market for that sort of thing in the 1970's. Today? Maybe. More sick fucks out there now, wouldn't surprise me.

In 1986 federal postal inspectors discovered cartons of magazines depicting underage boys "engaged in sexually explicit conduct" at smut shops in Times Square and Greenwich Village which allegedly were distributed by DiBernardo, and during a subsequent March 1986 raid on DiBernardo's office seized alleged "child pornography and financial records." As "a result of the Postal Inspectors seizures [a federal prosecutor] is attempting to indict DiBernardo on child pornography violations" according to an FBI memo dated May 20, 1986. A July 28, 1981 FBI document stated DiBernardo was "a well known pornography distributor also dealing in child pornography." Indeed, the FBI's New York field office had been monitoring DiBernardo's role in the smut trade since 1968 when he was arrested by the NYPD on his first obscenity charge for distributing a porno mag entitled Young Stuff.


There’s no debate DB was the country’s largest child pornographer


Di Bernardo was NOT, nor was he ever, charged with moving 'kiddie porn.' thats a total lie. And a magazine named 'young stuff' means nothing. It could be pics of young looking girls that are still of legal age. Its a marketing ploy.

If the FEDS ever caught any wiseguy pushing kiddie porn. They would have thrown the book at them. 10-20 years in the lockup. THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN! These guys usually pled out with fines, or 1 year in the can at best. The biggest figures in the MIPORN investigation I don't even think got more than 5 years, if even that. And they served even less.

THATS NEVER THE CASE WITH KIDDIE PORN! Especially when goodfellas and the mafia are charged.

What you're saying? It's just NOT reality!
