As for the Rainone's if you get bond on a class x outta Dupage you got someone behind you.


I think when you remember who Joe Fosco and Frank Cocanante are and given their various uncles, fathers and cousins (not to mention their social circles) they have a bit more credibility than your average Joe. They grew up with these guys. They continue to associate with these guys to a certain level. This isn't random corruption that you can Google and connect the dots with. This is very local corruption that someone outside of Elmwood would never know about.

Frank Cocanante for those who don't know him is a lifelong Elmwood Park resident who grew up with Frankie Calabrese Jr., Centracchio's daughters, Albie Vena and others. He has some rather infamous cousins not to mention his father "Jasper."

So I would pose the question to others...who are you going put more stock in...posters on this website or two guys who grew up in mob neighborhoods (who still reside there) with fathers, cousins and friends involved with the Outfit? lol
