Yep. Would you be the long banned former RD poster Fratto? Currently going by GrandAve420 on the Black Hand forum?

Here is what you forgot to highlight in your post: The author...Frank Cocanante, is not just "some random businessperson or Outfit fanboy." It's Frank Cocanante. He grew up in Elmwood Park and was close with Calabrese Jr. (see pic) along with plenty of other mobsters. It's not some random guy who has access to Google and makes "connections" himself. This is a guy who grew up around real mobsters and continues to associate with them in their neighborhoods and homes.
Joe Fosco is the same thing--he knows these guys intimately. He knows what's a real connection and what isn't.
And yet he makes the absurd comment that "members of the Outfit are as powerful as almost any Illinois politician." That hurts his credibility right out of the gate.

Mods should mind their own business and leave poster's profile signatures alone.
