At one point it got so bad that they almost lost the shows here in A.C. So it was slowed so the Conventions would continue .


Joey and some of his guys were all busted as part of that 2001 RICO indictment for truck hijacking. It was out of the rail yard as opposed to the airport, but the Rail yard/Port of Philadelphia are both also in S. Philly so they might just have more connect in that area. That was the whole baby milk, track suits, bikes, computers, TVs, crates of nickels, cigs, vodka, toy car sets, etc were some of the loads they stole I think the aggregate figure he Feds came up with was like ~$1.5M of cargo...


Appreciate the response PHL, thats interesting never heard of that case...I wonder why Bruno back in the day when cargo hi-jacking was much easier to get away with because of the lack of technology never really took off in Philly? I mean like I said the airports right there, and its right off of 95 ud think there would be opportunities there?


yea remember Ralphie "head" went down with that one and now he is trying to sing locally last I heard. A family friend is close to him. From what I hear and see, he must be totally out of the life. I remember they couldn't find a place to store I think it was "baby formula" if my memory serves me correct and they couldn't flip it so they just left it at a service station somewhere. Some of the shit they did is just stupid.

Question: If there was money to be made like there was in the 80s to the Mid 90s (or prior), how do you think this current family would do? With the different factions? Knowing what they know now and with all the Rico laws and Videos and social media... I think they might have had a good shot and being a big family. I think it was pretty remarkably what Uncle Joe did as Acting boss. Mind you there wasn't a lot of guys making a ton of money but the guys who were did it smart and the guys who weren't did mess with Uncle Joe and if you wanted to make your own money, just make sure you kept his name out of your mouth. I think there was only one tape at his trial where another made guy mentioned Joe by name.
