He certainly cleaned up the "nonfat" yogurt scammers.
Pistone infiltrated the Bonnano family not the Luchesse family. That's just one of many errors in this article.
The Deep State the new organizer of crime.
yeah.... there’s no more mafia...

David Marcus??? :)
WTF is he and WTF does he know about the Italian Mafia??
NOTHING, from what I’ve read.
He must have missed the LOADS of Sicilians that have come over the past 2 decades and the VAST rebuilding after 9/11 when the feds were focusing on muzzies.
They are a multi, MULTI billion dollar operation bringing in millions from one aspect of their business alone.
The Sicilians are ruthless, disciplined and make the russians and albanians, who NEVER WERE and ARENT NOW nearly as organized as the Italian Mafia, look like amateurs.
About the writer...David Marcus is...also the Artistic Director of Blue Box World, a Brooklyn based theater project...
What is this guy, a WASP?? :)
I needed a laugh.
Cue the mandolin music?.................
The only criminal enterprise in America, bigger than the Mafia, is the Democrat Party.
He is a moron.
Skunk Cabbage is still alive, I think... and is making noises about running on 2020.
Vot? No mention of the Kosher Nostra Families?
There will always be “Mafia”. FedGov pretty much decimated the Italian Mafia but has done a great job taking its place. In many cases,other ethnic demographics have filled the void like The Russian,Albanian,Ukrainian Mafias and Latin and Chinese Gangs.
They are not nice or honorable people. They are perverse.

I have occasion to pass near to the resting places of some of the NY gangsters. The, in most cases, mausoleums sit there on the lawns, in the sun, quiet, dark. The breeze rustles the leaves. Birds flit and twitter. Its all so peaceful. Then I think about where those mobsters are now and wonder if they’re getting any respect...
Just curious, though. We got rid of those “nasty Italians” but somehow that had no impact on the drugs, the girls, the numbers, nothing. It’s almost like getting rid of those Italians didn’t accomplish a goddam thing.
The article doesn’t mention Little Vinnie “Big Vinnie” Bannano or Vito “The Logical Positivist” Colombo.
When my high school buddies and myself would drive into NYC from CT, we never had to worry about being stabbed, blown up, or run over... Many times, in a drunken stupor, we would simply park and sleep any where from Harlem to Greenwich Village...
Even after I got out of the Marines Corps I spent half my time int the city in Harlem and the other half in Greenwich Village... In those days, the only people that were frequently subjected to the half-filled sock were the queers...
Now that's creative writing.
He ignores the Clintoni crime family of Chappaqua
Pentangeli = five angels. Sheesh!
For later
