Re: Chicago Mafia or Outfit
Salvatore DeLaurentis at 69 could be a major player, he went to jail in 1991, got out in 2006. In Chicago the make up of the crews and their territory has become more sketchy when people began moving to the suburbs. Jay Albanese in "Contemporary Issues in Organized Crime" (1995) analyzes Chicago and...

Ironically I remember reading an old article that Jack Giacalone was once arrested for selling stolen (I think it was) Christmas trees.

Re: Gaspipe: Confessions of a Mafia Boss
I see your point, the Carlo-Casso combination doesn't seem stable, to say the least, if one is interested in reliable information. Those claims about JFK and so forth are of course ridiculous, on the other hand, as you mentioned, Cassos story could in fact be fascinating.

Re: List of New York five families members
Carmine "Johnny Lamps" Saglimbene got an 10 year sentence in 1971-72 and he is/was an NY OC figure. Thats about all that can be confirmed.
I don't know where the poster got his information from though.

Re: List of New York five families members
Thanks for the input, thewestside. My argument with Saverio Aiello was that since the report is from 1978 he was alive at that time, although I don't know if one can draw that assumption. The report could be describing past conditions.

Re: List of New York five families members
thewestside, Here's a few Genovese members/associates I don't really know what to make of, perhaps you got some thoughts. CARMINE SAGLIMBENE aka Johnny Lamps, a poster a few years back claimed he was made Vincent Rizzo (mentioned in Joe Coffeys book as "made by Vito Genovese himself") Salvatore Bell...

Re: Genevose Family
I agree with thewestside. The Genovese family has had some smart leaders, such as Charlie Luciano, Phil Lombardo, Jerry Catena and Vincent Gigante contributing to thier success, even if the gambinos also had smart bosses in Carlo Gambino and Paul Castellano but they seem to have (in some aspects) pr...
