Are there any photos of Lucchese apart from his mugshot and the photos from a government hearing in 1958? I guess he hated getting his picture taken.

I had just read (Again)4 the 5th time Joe Bonnanos self incriminating stupid book from 1983,where he patronizes himself many times,& he contradiked himself more than once...He hated Lucchese w/a passion but did not express it..called Carlo a Squirell of a man ,& lied about belittling Lucchese & then calling him a man of honor & above all a..friend..why would tell a man 2 eat a good piece of blue cheese, after you know he was ur enemy 2 hrs. ago??Good wine??shit..these guy's where backstabbers from childhood.. it's a shame.

Amazing how they even let Bonnano live..They should've taken him and his idiot son out. Biggest joke of a Family through out the years.

I was reading about him in the patriarca FBI files this week. Ray calls him tommy brown and they meet a lot at some restaurant Patsy's in Lil Italy. Mike Miranda there won meeting about some race track tommy brown owns in new england I forgot name. He travels to Boston often in the 60tys to.

U got that right..those 2 (joe & bill),r the biggest bullshitters of the mob..(Men of my Tradition)my ass....That's all they say in their books,"In my world,,,"..fuck u sal,(bill)..they r so self giving,that u can almost smell it at of their ass.

I read what I think was Bill Jr's book in the late '90s. I wasn't impressed. He seemed like a wannabe.

Ray p keeps calling him Joe banana on wiretaps nothing bad. 1963. 4.

Pmac...How do u (get) have access 2 those fbi files?

I'm assuming those wiretaps were all illegal/inadmissible?

I am pretty sure they are illegal. They are from 1961-1966, from the wiretaps files I have listened too.

Ya this is when the feds had illegal wires in all the mob places. This is the first time its teased guess they paid for freedom info act. Similar to Sam the plumbers wire taps which was illegal. Its heavy redacted also they have a informant right in rays office. His son ray Jr must now who it is. There at about 1963 tommy brown probably the strongest boss in NYC cause Vito genovese is in jail and jerry catena is always in jersey. Hasn't been any talk of gambino yet.

They got Louie fox asking permission to kill some guy marfeo the feds didn't even try to stop it. They were dirty back then. The Boston feds where worse.

Ray goes on to have Louie fox killed over these tapes in 68 or 69 and wanted to kill his brother for not finding them in the office.

Thanx guys!
