…This just in, folks.

Never mind about what you might have read about the Genovese and Bonanno Families being at each others throats. Reliable sources say that the two Cosa Nostra Clans have now made peace between one another.

In fact — so much so — that they’ve just gone partners in another brand new Long Island-based gambling parlor that offers high-stakes games of Chinese Checkers and Parcheesi. As a lucrative side hustle, they also went partners shylocking Monopoly money to down-at-the-heels players at usurious interest rates.

The guy that has been saying that “The Mob” is currently a shell of its former self obviously doesn’t know what the heck he’s talking about.

Because, it’s obvious that anyone with half-a-brain in his head can clearly see that the American Mob is thriving!

In fact, informants say that Chinese Checkers and Parcheesi has been such a multimillion-dollar windfall for the mob, that New York’s Commission has now developed big plans to expand these board games to their mafiosi brethren across the entire country in hopes of resurrecting all the defunct borgatas.

These “sources” even went as far to say that Chicago and Detroit are adding high-stakes Scrabble games to the mix as well!

What a resilient bunch, huh, folks?

PS: Just remember, you heard it here first!

I never heard of them being at odds with each other

Of course not. Even though you just got finished reading about it in the NYPost. LOL.

No, somewhere I read that their animosity went back to the Chin Gigante era, I'm not talking about recently.

LOL, ya kidding, right?

BugsyM just started a thread with a NYPost article that you clearly read and commented on --- Three times no less! So Liggio, what exactly are you talking about here? Lol

Frictions always happened but eventually, it gets straightened out.

In the early 90's, the Genovese and Lucchese were competing for union control. It got a little bit violent. Some associates were beaten up but things quickly got back in order.

Same with the beef between the Bonanno and Lucchese some years ago.
