Everything else is really just insubstantial rumormongering.

Altho, I'm sure there's still little crews and independent crooks in the Northeast of Irish descent.


Berkery was like a living legend in the philly area. I forget if it was picked up on tape or if someone testified about it but Angelo Bruno supposedly said he loved Berkery and that he would of made him in a second if he was italian. Berkery and Long John were around Bruno all the time and he never made Martorano but he said he would of made Berkery. Go figure. lol
