^^an even MORE in depth article (Thanks a lot, Chicago news publications -___- why can't you guys just gun down all birds with one damn article)

And yes, this is by far the biggest Outfit bust in a long, long time. Although the Carparelli Crew indictment may be bigger in the long run, they lost that case & wont release specific details until they've got them cornered, like this recent Grand Avenue crew situation. But the Grand Avenue Crew is obviously making a comeback under Albie Vena & incorporating some younger soldiers, and are 100% still capable of serious violence & intimidation. They were robbing big shot Latino cartel bosses, posing as vice cops, without fear of repercussions. 6 times a year. As well as engaging in a variety of armed robberies, mansion break ins, bribing officials, prostitution rings, and, as was evident in the Mandell trial, they were obviously looking into doing some strip club strong arming/street taxing. These guys are the real deal. And this is just one small street crew, and an extension of the smallest & most quaint/modest of the remaining four Outfit crews. So you do the math. Oh, and not one gambling charge. Lol.

Of course the clowns on here that only believe what the FBI reports will scoff at this. I could've told you some of this shit was going on with the Patch guys. Can you imagine the responses I would've gotten on here? LOL theArm actually did drop hints to some of this shit & he was berated & driven out like a leper with aids. durkadurka
