Yes, that was Alexi Gianolous' bank.

It is interesting. You never know... the comments below are actually pretty smart, too.

Seems clear the guy had underworld connections in bothe NYC and Chicago. Maybe he was directed to broadway bank by his NYC people?


Is Jaws still in the Chicago area or is he in Florida?

Giorango is buying up hotels in Miami with Micahel Zitello. When he was in Chicago, he was really just a bookie working for Dominic Barbaro. He was never really a heavy guy.

He also owns real estate in Chicago however, including buildings on the northside that housed the 48th Ward Democratic Committee all the way up until 2004.

Is Barbaro still active? I remember him being one of the guys Cooley talks about setting up in his book.

Vito scavo is a Scum Bag and he'll be home in April, he better pray all the standup guys from Town he tried railroading don't give me a smack in the face right in front of the Dotes, Fuckin Rat will never get respect from the street...

Don't know how many of you are banned from RD but someone started a thread calling Solly D the top street boss and Nick Ferriola as one of his top lieutenants. He also posted two recent pics of them.

Sounds reasonable.

Is this the same individual that created a similar thread on the black hand forum?

Yeah same thread. Didn't mean to imply they were together. Nick is a crew boss? First I've heard that.

Apparently everyone has seen since looks like ChiTown is posting in it. Lol been awhile since I've signed on there obviously.

I presume most of you have seen Fosco's latest post/picture contest. Fantastic probably rarely seen photo.

That is a great photo. JB is there and I presume that is Jackie Cerone, the bald guy not facing the camera. I believe that is Rocco Pranno sitting up and smiling on the left edge of the table. Across from him is Dom Nuccio unless that is one of the Fischetti's.

The guy next to JB isn't Joe Amato?

The guy on the left edge of the table looks like Joe Amato. That looks to me like Ross Prio with the cigar. Of course everybody knows which one Accardo is. As ChiTown said, the bald guy not facing the camera may very well be Cerone. I believe that is DiVarco with the glasses on next to him.

I've often wondered how many great photos are still out there in the collections of the descendents of these guys that most of us have never/will never see.

Too bad Fosco didn't know where it was taken. My guess would be either Thatcher or Schiller park forest preserve since it's close. Awesome pic of an Outfit picnic.

Lumbo claims abuse.

He made a guess yesterday that it was taken at Holiday Park near Waucanda, IL.

Well that sure was a haul in the late 50's early 60's which looks like the timeframe. My grandfather had an acre just south of 176 and it took forever on Rand Rd. and that was in the 70's.

I remember water parks on Bangs lake (i think), Honey Hill and Phils beach. Not sure if I ever was at Holiday. Good memories.

Eric is that where you grew up near Barrington Hills?

It was Sunny Hill Beach in Wauconda and Phil's was next door right? There was also Cook's beach or something like that. I had relatives there and would visit with my cousins.

Speaking of pictures we will never see, I would sure love to see a picture of al capone at his son's sonny wedding, the only info I got on it is the capone and Mae went to the wedding in different cars

For what it's worth, I made a guess but Accardo, Black Joe, and Caesar DiVarco were the only three I know I got right as Joe replied to my e-mail saying I only got three. I also guessed Prio (guy with cigar), Solano (guy sitting on bench), Cerone (as the bald guy not facing the camera), and (for lack of any better guess) DiBella, even though none of the remaining guys resemble him.

From what I can gather, the remaining guys don't resemble any Outfit bosses or capos that I can think of (based on our limited existing photo evidence) so whoever guesses this right had to have been tight with some of these other players at the time.

No I grew up in the city, NW side. Like I said my grandfather had some land and we'd have picnics and I was at those water parks a few times.

Maybe that's why the one dude has the wet pants, I'm assuming he didn't piss himself. LOL

Reading that article it does sound pretty shitty. Assuming he's really in that bad of shape what could possibly deserve solitary and no mail? What's he gonna do order a hit from Butner? Please.....

Looks like The Heights to me

The BOP site says Lombardo is at FMC Butner..."An administrative security federal medical center".

I always thought Butner was supposed to be one of the better prisons....didn't know that the medical center there put guys in solitary. BOP site says The Clown is 85 not 84.

I know the guys a killer but still...an 85 year old guy in solitary?? Doesn't seem right considering his age.

I have never read Roemer's book "Man Against the Mob" but found it for like 4$ used and guess who signed the inside flap? None other than William Roemer, Jr. himself.

ha that is classic...if only it was TheArm's signature instead...would have been worth double!

jeff fort is under a new human contact order for like over ten years

A new human contact order? Genuinely confused here, did you mean no?
