Toodoped: Anyone heard from @BigTuna? He is absent for quite some time...I hope is ok
Toodoped: Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
Toodoped: Thanks buddy! We should continue fighting against these lying paying sites and to protect everyone on this forum, especially the younger generation or posters.
Toodoped: these days lots of people that I know lost their families and everything they had because its legit and even youngsters can chip in
Toodoped: Same as the mob paying sites...ppl pay for "Disneyland" and wiki mob stuff, something which they can find it on their own with a simple google search
VanillaLimeCoke: Lousy school violence these days. Not even a 6th of the way through September and we've already had a psychotic violent school shooting.
Toodoped: Word. Few days ago, over here, they caught one teenager with a gun and more than 60 bullets, while going to school. I wonder what was his plan ?!
Toodoped: Damn....the retard slowly became a stalker and he's following me whenever I make a post so he can bump up his own $0,5 "projects" lol lol "IT" is finished and I love it lol

Toodoped: For those who enjoyed the "TD's Free Outfit Articles 2023/24" thread, well thanks to @TB for making it a sticky on the first page in the OC forum so everyone can enjoy it. Again, I want to personally say thanks to TB, JGeoff and the whole GBB forum. Salut
VanillaLimeCoke: I can’t take it anymore. Everything has gotta change. Or at least a lot.
Toodoped: Screw the world bro...the main thing today is to take care of you and yours.
VanillaLimeCoke: I’m hoping and praying that 2025 will be so much better. …. for real …. Too
Giacomo_Vacari: Damn, he is posting the same things over and over, nothing new. Watch out the flu is bad this year. January 20th Trump gets sworn in, and hopefully turn things around.
VanillaLimeCoke: Yeah, but they’re already planning things so he can’t turn them around
VanillaLimeCoke: Biden’s pardened over 8000 people, most of which were issued in the last 2-3 months
hoodlum: Yes, most likely 2 piss off that crybaby & compulsive liar now sadly in office.
Jason1969: Hey! After applying months ago, I finally got my button and was accepted as a member!

Were all or some of those above including that Doc Farone of Saratoga connected to each other in some way?
If so were they also connected early on from 1900-1930 as well as after 1930 ? Through my research I do know that Doc Farone was definitely connected to the old Genovese Family through capo Jimmy Angelina's crew, and through Meyer Lansky - which by proxy connects him to Jimmy Blue Eyes. Sounds similar to the connections with Genovese and Lansky to some guys in that Syracuse Camorra clan

Neither is the fact that after the Magaddino and Bufalino Families, NYC's Luciano/Genovese Family was -- without a doubt -- the most prominent Mafia group in upstate NY. So it makes sense that they also exerted influence and dominated many sections of upstate.

How was it that with all that was happening during Prohibition and afterwards , that these groups in these places seemed to be overlooked in all these Upstate towns like Schenectedy,Binghamton,Rome,Saratoga,etc. Some of them even had extensive mob histories going back to the 1900s and their stories were never told
Even after the Appalachian Raid and Valachi's terstimony, all the focus was on the 26 cities that Valachi named as part of the Cosa Nostra. With all the books written ,these places were almost never mentioned
It was as if all that mattered was what Valachi said,as if one soldier was expected to know everything there was to know about the mafia in America
Wouldn't it be common sense that if stuff was going on in these cities that looked like the mafia,acted like the mafia,talked and walked like the mafia, that these places were probably in some way connected to the mafia? Even if they were like outposts of the larger families like the Five Families,Chicago,etc. About the only city not one of the 26 name cities that was acknowledge as being under mob control was Las Vegas.

Well, I don't think they were 'overlooked' as you say, because in all these secondary cities and towns all across the nation local law enforcement did conduct many investigations, raids and arrests and prosecutions through the decades. They just didn't understand the full scope of who many of these guys were, aside from knowing they were bootleggers and racketeers. I think i'ts more a case of LE not having the true scope and info from anyone they considered to be an 'insider' at the time other than Joe Valachi. And lets face it, even though as a soldier his knowledge was limited, overall the info he provided was one million percent more than they had or ever imagined back in that era. So what he gave them was almost overwhelming to their resources. The did the best they could, but it took them many years to really get up to speed.

Yes,I acknowledge that local police and newspapers had vice squads complete with raids ,grand juries,etc in many cities and even asccused the men involved as being part of a national syndicate,especially in NYS and yet even now,these places are never mentioned outside of forums like this and maybe web sites like your own,if there are others

I should mention that in some of these cities at one time their was even an early acknowlegement of a mafia ,camorra or black hand presence. What did people think happened to those guys? That somehow they just disappeared during prohibition ?

Did any names ever come out of what guys might have been at that Appalachia NY meeting ,that did not get caught in the raid? There were names thrown out there -- major names of bosses or capos that were notorious -- that LE 'suspected' had escaped into the woods during the raid. But no hard proof. It was all conjecture.

I wonder how many of the mobsters invited to the party were smart enough not to go You'd think that a guy like Montana from Buffalo who was something like Buffalo "Man of The Year" would have been smart enough not to risk being exposed if anything like the raid occured He had successfully been a top guy who was getting civic awards and everybody thought was a good citizen you don't see his counterparts playing that role, from other families in other cities getting caught for the most part.I think most who did get caught were with some criminal record or prior mafia member suspicion

But they suspected over 100 attended. So go from there.

I'd suspect maybe 100 were there and probably 20 declined to go,especially guys being investigated for gambing or police or political corruption by grand juries at the time or under other indictments

Thats possible. But remember, it was a 'members only' bbq. So, regardless of particular rank, only 'made guys' were invited to attend. Still would think that there would be invited made guys who'd think twice about attending such a large gathering in a place that they'd stick out. From what I've readother of these mafia type conventions were pretty secretly done
