the feds have a real hardon for this guy


he is the most feared gangster in the outfit at the moment

the feds are trying to flip everyone to get this guy even using undercover waitress and past hits to build a case


outside of cicero he is the most powerful gangster

sounds like tickling the wire from the law enforcement source

vena has been around the block im sure he knows there is heat on him

doubt he would be discussing anything at La Scarola that a waitress could hear,but who knows

Yearh I think the Feds are telling him this to put pressure on him

Still the guy is a indictment waiting to happen

What kind of idiot would leak or report that a waitress at La Scarola is a recently planted FBI agent.

They probably have a wait staff of 8.

They are going to get some poor girl who has nothing to do with this terrorized.

Well, sounds like he is fucked.

I believe it was reported that he turned down that Mandell guy when he asked him to sanction a hit. That was definitely the smart move.

He is fucked since bobby got pinched its a matter of time.

Yearh he was smart enough not to back mandell otherwise he would be sitting in a cell

Vena is nuts the amount of guys he whacked in his younger day the Feds could hit him with anything he has done so much

At least bobby has not flipped but if one of the others have

He's not fucked. If they had him for anything they would arrest him.

After Family Secrets there were numerous reports linked to the press about FSII and a "tidal wave" of indictments.

It never happened. Nothing close to it ever happened.

It is just law enforcement trying to freak everyone out.

They've known Vena is a high ranking gangster got 30 years. If they could arrest him, or any of the other old guys, they would.

Have to agree with you there. If Panozzo isn't flipping, honestly, what do they have on him?

When I mean he is fucked I mean that the Feds have a real hardon for this guy which means he will get pinched soon over the next two years I think he will be indicted for something

Things are not looking good for vena feds going after him and bobby in the can.

The cicero guys are pissed with vena the money he kicking up according to scott has been light since bobby went away

How do we know what they have on him until an indictment?

If he's active, they will get him eventually.

I don't know what they have but when the Feds put high pressure on someone they eventually get the guy

Especially a guy supervising drug opps.

Typical FBI - Going All out for an Outfit Guy and leaving ALL the Gang Stuff alone.

Wasn't Venna living in Florida for awhile ?,if i'm not misraken .He also went by name of billy ventura or something like that.is his nickname the falcon or the claw
.if anyone knows can you answer back

the feds already hammered all the gang leaders federally plus gangs aint the same

the murders in Chicago are more for personal reasons than gang warfare these days

It is likely that if an indictment is made against Vena, it will be for minor loansharking or running book, unless they can tie him to old homicides. The feds probably do not want to charge Vena for a loansharking or book operation, where he will essentially serve 1 year in federal custody. They probably want him for old homicides, which would require someone more knowledgeable than Hollingshead to flip.

I do not know if Pannozzo is made, but clearly he is held in high regard by Grand Avenue. Pannozzo must have had the green light to rob Hollingshead's house, which means Vena probably gave the ok. This is turn indicates Hollingshead was not well respected by Grand Avenue and probably not privy to much information, other than his own activities with Pannozzo.
