hey spmob sounds like your a local philly guy that has a lot of insight to the mafia there. You mentioned reading some articles from george anastasia, I started reading blood and honor , very good reading. Wonder if Anastatia is somehow releated to Albert Anastasia from NY. I read some very cool stuff on him he was a pure madman in NY, he basically started the mafia in NY. The name Anastasia still carries a lot of weight in NY in fact I believe some of the mafia in NY still has ties to that family. Just ironique if that the guy writiing artcles in Philly may be a relation through families.... ??
