I have a few more projects under construction before I'm done with what's in my file. I have spent countless hours writing about nearly every family in the U.S., as well as some Sicilian crews and countless individual mob biographies.

I thought I'd consider offering you guys the next pick.

So by general consensus, as well as uniqueness, does anyone have a mob subject matter that I HAVEN'T already written about? Lol, Its a tough question because I've covered so much already.

But I will consider researching a story if you peek my interest enough. But its gotta be a good one, not some mundane subject matter thats been rehashed 1000 times already ok?

Have you covered any Brighton Beach Russian mobsters?

Rat Pack! Sinatra and Dino with Luciano and everyone, from Vegas to the meetings in Cuba and Palermo and anything else would be fantastic!

The links with the Kennedys, Giancana, etc.

The whole show business racket, the infamous picture with Carlo Gambino, Paul Castellano and Sinatra.

Hudson County New Jersey guys in either the Genovese or the Bonanno family. Guys like John Digilio or Bayonne Joe Zicarelli. Or anyone from that area.

As you wish!.... Bayonne Joe Zicarelli at your command!

We need Tommy Agro !!!!!

. Agreed. I feel nobody talks about Agro that much. What a nut case he was 😂

more than a simple bio. How bout a crew? town? city? etc

Tommy Agro was in Joe Gallo’s crew ( I think ). Agro had some tough guys around him and he was respected.

. Yes he was in Armones crew. Joe N Gallo was his sponsor for membership

How about something on the Camora or Ndranghetta operating in the US? Or possible crossover/cooperation with regular Sicilian outfits here? That outta keep you busy.

I was toying with that idea. But I'm not sure I can gather up enough comprehensive info for a solid story without it dragging on incessantly

Thanks man! I don't know how I missed that one.

Jersey City, NJ. Especially the waterfront.

Charles Binaggio from KC. He treated KC like a fiefdom, was a prominent socialite like Luciano. I read some statistics like the number of mob murders was way, way up when he was in charge. Also I believe he was operating in some states the rest of the mob never touched like Idaho as well as making inroads to Nebraska.

I'd like a bio on Philip "Philly Lucky" Giaccone and Alphonse "Sonny Red" Indelicato, the years or at least the decade they were made and the years they became captains.

The Chicago Outfit's crews in Northwest Indiana? They had a pretty substantial operation there.

I wouldn't mind a fresh set of eyes on the Boston/New England mob war in the 90's

if you have any balls do a story on the connections between democratic leadership and mafia families in the 1950's through the 1990s

Wild Bill Cutolo

I second Wild Bill...

If I have any balls? Lol

You should really learn how to talk to people because your social 'skills' suck, and you sound like a punk kid. What 'balls' as you say does it take for that? I really don't get it.

And you think that the Republican Party has never had mob connections huh? How bout I throw out just 1 name ok. I won't even bother to put out a second because you might shit yourself.

Spiro Agnew. Through a heavy connection and alleged $100,000 bribe to him (which ultimately was split with Nixon I'm sure), Richard Nixon commuted the heavy 12 year sentence of NJ based capo-regime Angelo (The Gyp) Di Carlo after he served a measly year or two behind bars.

Now THATS a hook and what many at the time raised their eyebrows about..... all Republicans.

Know what I say? Big deal! Who gives a good fuck.

And during FDRs run for the presidency Lucky Luciano, Costello, and the others, backed him AND his opponent, Republican Al Smith. So no matter which party got into the White House the mob would have an inside track. Both reputedly played ball with the wise guys.

Don't even let me delve into all the senators, congressmen, and other office holders in BOTH parties that were beholden to their mob benefactors.

You REALLY need to know WTF you're talking about before you open your mouth and spout stupid shit out of it!

want more?

How bout Repulican Senator Al D'Amato? He was a personal friend of Lucchese associate Philly Basile and capo Paul Vario. He even testified on behalf of Basile at his trial in federal court.

On the flip side we have Democrat powerhouses Meade Esposito and Mario Biaggi who came from Brooklyn and East Harlem respectively. They each grew up with tons of guys and were decent with everybody from the neighborhood.

The Mob knows NO such boundaries as "political parties" LOL......... so get real (and go educate yourself before you put your foot in your mouth and trip over your own dick)!

no one loves you more than I do NYMAFIA. that's why you need to start researching Tommy Agro. Of course there isn't a lot of info on Tommy Agro, that's why we depend on your awesome content.

I don't mind doing TA. But as you say I just don't know if there's enough content out there on him for that. Of course I can do the 'era' that we all know about with him. Florida. Joe Dogs, Joe Piney. etc

But as far as his FULL prior background I'm not so sure.

I met TA a few times. He was an OK guy. A little loud and too in your face for my taste. But it is what it is

I'll see what else I can dig up on him ok. If I gather enough I'll do his bio

Where did TA actually grow up/? where was he raised?

I don't really know, but I think he may have come out of the East New York area, or So. Queens - Ozone Park, like that.

Just looking over Part 2 of Moons over Miami but not sure if you dive into Tampa and Santo Trafficante and he was a major player that was very lay low guy

How about start putting this stuff on apple podcasts they are all great stories

Absolutely! Politics is a dirty business. It takes so much money to win an election, candidates have to beg anyone and everyone for money and it compromises them. I think the Mob is just like other groups with money and power, they play bothl sides of the fence to get what they want. That's politics.

As per this request of yours, I just re-posted up an extensive expose I wrote about Tampa and the Trafficante Family.

Hope you enjoy it

Since we are on the topic of Tommy Agro... Another interesting Tommy albeit a short life, would be Tommy DeSimone. I can guarantee that Anthony Ruggiano jr. has info on both of these guys...
