Here we go...

Also the fact the patsy Falcetti has allegedly taken over all or part of the 116th street crew speaks volumes

Ivy I don't think , Peter (Petey Red) dichiara is from the same crew as Bellomo ??

You're right, I'm confusing DiChiara with Falcetti. My mistake.

And you'll never understand...(not saying i do and im a wiseguy lol)

Some of these guys are lifers and really believe in "this thing of ours"

Yeah, the way these guys think isn't always going to compute with law abiding citizens. Just the fact they are in the mob to begin with suggests they assume some risk. Maybe a sense of duty is one reason Bellomo has taken the position.

Some prison bids preserve people he looks everyday of 59. If he's uptown his other guy is downtown. Chin had manna from new Jersey. Smart way to spread out the power keeping a eye and ear all over. Not the way amuso and casso had all the power in Brooklyn.

69.

Wikipedia has him at 59 born on January 8th 1957

he is 59

http://www.nysun.com/new-york/barneys-bravado-gives-the-feds-fits/53741/

he was 50 in 2007

that social club is extremely active. i drive by market and cherry 3-5 days a week for work and i see guys out there every time without fail in the morning. they're there pretty early, ive even seen 2 guys out there in the rain. they keep the door open and hang out inside and outside. wouldnt know whos who by face and it could always be some old knickerbocker village retirees just shooting the shit, but still... the article wasnt lying when it said that club is active

he has? i thought he took over muscarella's bronx based crew. i know muscarella was 116th street capo at one point but i thought he ran a separate east bronx crew after. i could see these guys rotating capos.

falcetti got taken down by one of the biggest bumbling idiots of a snitch in recent mob history. the fact that him and members of his crew let some reality tv reject get that close to him doesnt look good. plus falcetti was a capo and was directly loaning the snitch money?? come on

Social clubs in the LES. hilarious.

that area of the les is kind of like a no mans land. could be considered chinatown even. its all nycha and mitchell lama buildings and theres nothing around except for the old timers who live there. they just tore down only grocery store there too last year. its kind of a weird neighborhood considering what it is surrounded by or close to

I thought Social Clubs were a thing of the past? I wonder how long the Feds have been monitoring that club?

Bellomo seems to be a throwback, unlike most of the idiots we read about !!

Btw, nice to see the judge show some compassion for the family by saying those nice things about his daughter..I'm sure it meant a lot to both of them !!

yeah if its being written about, and we know about it, the feds have had to be on it for ages. they're probably not doing much there. like i said i see guys there all the time but it could just be old retirees playing cards

Yeah, I'm very familiar with the area. If I remember right, a ton of Hasidic Jews, especially in the Co-Ops.

Comparatively, an untouched area of Manhattan.

The decline in social clubs are partly misconception by the media I think. Also these guys are still meeting and have there hangouts even if they are not "social clubs" frank Cali a perfect example

Mob big kid's tears melt judge

There are definitely way, way less. One reason is increased law enforcement.

Another is the decline of traditional Italian neighborhoods.. This guy probably sticks out like a sore thumb.

Funny, I was reading about the rat John Bologna. He had a social club on Irving Ave in port Chester like 10 years ago. Now it's all Hispanics. Half of the stores don't even have English speaking employees.

Can I ask what you meant by the Cali example, Gangstereport?

He's saying he has a place to congregate even if it's not a traditional social club.

No idea if it's true.

Yeah, I figured. I know quiet dom had that restaurant in the Bronx, for example. I was just curious where Cali held / holds court.

I wonder how many people's lives were ruined to put her through law school.

No pulling punches

Dom did i miss something, wheres the updated pic of Barney?.......wait disregard I see the pics now, wasnt able to delete this wasted post, my apologies boys

Can't speak for anyone else but it's not an ego thing for me lol .

This is a message board and for me at least we can sometimes spend too much time discussing titles which are rarely so cut and dry in that life . ( or rankings etc.)

My personal preference is too talk about the moves , speculate on how he is handling things, basically the game.

I doubt anyone is starting shit , just want to talk about the game

From your comment and the icon or whatever you call it seems like you really despise these people. Do you work for some form of law enforcement?

That a bad thing?
