Since family secrets that have become leaner, smaller, smarter and about 60% legit.
What is NOT legit are rackets associated with the legitamate businesses, real estate, Construction,the Adult industry, Legal gambling, etc, along with some Shy and street tax.
The Boss-Underbooss-Capo syetem is done in Chicago, that's why there is no one with a target on his back.
It has been replaced by a system of skippers, and street bosses and communications passed between crews and the hiachey on a need to know basis.
The SCOTUS ruling on deception in classified and public documents is far from a read herring. It means that what you read and hear from them is calculated misinformation mixed with truth for 2 reasons, one to decoy reaction and chatter, and the other to detect leaks.

except for buffalo of course, right? wink

another funny thing about you and your chicago claims with regards to how secretive they are: you claim to be a former low-level buffalo associate, so how the hell would you be privy to this inside information? are you just that "standup" that you were given access? with the claims you've made about your personal inside knowledge of buffalo, chicago, rockford, milwaukee, and best of all pittsburg still going strong with 3 capos and 20+ made guys, it might be best to start listing the families that you haven't had any working relationships with for the sake of some of the serious posters. lol


Son, you have no idea who I have and have not had working relationships with, legit or otherwise. You are one who seems to think family association is particioned and exists in a vacume. Don't fel too bad son, it is a common misconception.
When I was "active" I lived in a city with a Bufalo, Scranton and Colombo presence, not to mention rogue Rochester malcontents with Pittsburgh's guys attached to their hip.I have lived in Cook County for 20 years and you bet you ass I sured up my contacts befiore moving here. I have family in Independence Louisiana, so I met some old time Nawlin's guys.
Over the course of 40 years you get to know people, and family affiliation means nothing. I have been to weedings and funerls where I have been introduced as a "friend of mine" more times then I can stand. I am not unique. Anyone with my level of connection would tell you the same thing.
As for "inside information, I have given almost none, you just think it's inside information becuse you get your news from internet sites full of wannabe Mafia hiostorians and the bullshit the FBI puts out.
Who do or did I never have much or any contact with?
LA
SJ
KC (Other then meeting Tuffy DeLuna as a kid)
Denver
Frisco
None

Detroit,
Gambino,
Tampa
very little

Been there and done it
I am very much for real, so if you ask, make sure you really want to know.
