Not really. Outside of Chinatown & The Patch, & select parts of Rush St, where do they still have strongholds within city limits? What I'm saying is that it was more of a blow than a simple geographic relocation. BTW, Rush St. is pretty interesting. I won't get into it because unlike a lot of people on this forum I don't think it's right to slander potentially innocent people by associating them with organized crime. But it is an interesting subject, both for things that are fairly widely known and some that are not so well known.

he's always asking people to post proof and now the proof ain't good enough What louie has posted, besides being nothing new, doesn't support his exaggerated claims about the Outfit's current control of the Teamsters Union in Chicago. I'm curious, how is the O'Hare stuff "speculation"? Fosco went to prison for racketeering. I mean I don't care one way or another whether you agree, but sometimes I feel like you argue with these guys for the sake of argument. My point is the O'Hare allegations are indicative of so much regarding the Chicago Outfit nowadays - i.e. the allegation of a mob-connection being obscure or inconclusive. What else is the mob doing with these unions than hooking their relatives up with $50K a year jobs? Dispensing union jobs - and they don't have to be "no show" - is one form of labor racketeering. And it seems to make up much of what is remaining in Chicago. Family Secrets did nothing of the sort, yet look at the language in their press releases. DiFronzo and their top capo's were not even touched. Listen to Giuliani rant about his prosecutions in the 1980s that brought down the five families. It says something that big mob cases like Family Secrets are becoming less and less common in Chicago. You need common sense to call a spade a spade and frankly, some people don't have it (or have an interest against it because they've been arguing the same position for years and have trouble saying "I was wrong.") What one needs to do is look at the evidence - particularly the Outfit cases in recent years - objectively. The whole picture, weighing it all in the balance. With no preconceived notions, agenda, or cherry picking. And, if one does that, they'll see your underlying theme about the Outfit still having Chicago in an "iron grip" is a bunch of hooey.

While I think it's possible that people know stuff because their long-dead uncles, etc., were affiliated, I find the likelihood of people, particualrly on this board, being in the know about current operations via word of mouth from any kind of reliable source in most cases absurd. The idea that anyone who has any real clue of what illegal activity is going on sitting there at the bar talking about it to someone who would then go post it on the Internet is inhrenelty proposterous. I remember reading a wire on Mike Sarno where when the caller even brought up another connected guy's name, he immediately hung up the f**king phone. Anyone whose really cued in is going to be paranoid beyond belief and I would imagine these guys talk even to each other about things as little as possible, let alone their barbers, car mechanics etc.

It can go either way. How does someone like Chicago, posting on an internet forum, know so much about the Outfit and its structure and its dark secrets from 1960-1990? A lot of the info is not available just anywhere. Yet he knows...was he a street tough?
I was at a local bar with some friends having some beers and started talking to some of the other neighborhood guys and Outfit stuff came up. These guys knew quite a few of the names that have been mentioned in these threads and had stories about them...you'd be surprised at who knows who and what in these neighborhoods. Interesting stuff. And I'm the furthest thing from a street tough lol.

It is funny I had this problem with so many different posters. Guys on here with over a post a day or 1000 in less than 6 months calling someones else and keyboard warrior, or bookworm fa***t, or whatever. Oh so your the guy who gets to tell everyone how often and how much people are allowed to post on here??? No I wasn't saying anything like that, I think its funny that those posters are the same ones who tell people who get their info from the net to get a life, I argee with what your saying about people being in the know and then chatting about it on the net.

Huron you accusing someone else of being a fanboy is hilarious. But maybe i am wrong and you are a real gangster because anyone from chicago can pretty much be considered connected right? Oh, pipe down you whiny little shrimp. You've got a fucking henry hill quote as your signature. You're all fanboys basement dwellers who live vicariously through these goomba tough guys from the movies. Don't try & pass your insecurities off on me. Doesn't work like that. Hell, you're still holding grudge over being clowned on by me like two months ago. For the love of tapdancing judas, let it go!
