I´m posting this because the subject has been bugging me for a while. It seems that it is possible for mafiamembers to be members of two different families at...
Have to disagree with you on this one. Both Gentile and Fratianno give examples of Mafiosi transferring their memberships from one crime family to another. ...
Yeah, that is my view as well. Some guys - like Nick Gentile - changed families so frequently that it created the illusion they belonged to multiple families...
I've always wondered if transferring families was a lot more common than we believe.. Vilachi and Gentile certainly lead you to think so, but you have other...

Rick, I'm glad that Levitt found another way to get his name in the news. But is it really necessary to keep referring to this situation as a "Supreme Court...

It seems that there's some hopeful assumptions here between you and Tom. Namely, that they'll just kill each other and everyone else will be just fine. After...
Rick, I was not seriously arguing that the released prisoners would just kill each other off, and I suspect the same is true of Ron's post. I believe we each...
Sometimes there's an element of wishful thinking behind sarcasm, so I thought I'd address it. As to hysteria, I guess that all depends if the claims come to ...
Looking forward to getting a copy. If any gets one before I do, please review for us. Rick Product Description BLOOD BROTHERHOODS is the enthralling new...
I think Levitt does a great job. I don't know that economics are at the heart of this though. I tried to look at his 1996 paper to see what he was working...
Tom, I have to make this brief but I want to get it down so here goes Finished the story in 10/09 Informer, and would like to bounce some things off you and...
I will reread it. A quick thought though. One of the most prescient things I have read on the topic of OC was your take on the impact that was made when an FBI...
