    What a great little gem this is MOBFAX buddy, and what a great bunch of mob legends these guys are, Accardo was a very smart looking man on his way into court buddy, I really did enjoy watching this little video MOBFAX, thanks for putting it on RUclips for us to watch.

      So many think of mob bosses like the five families in NYC, the jersey mob, the Partnership in Detroit and the Chicago outfit but the Marcello and Trafficante families pretty much dominated the southern part of the US

      @@Godfather9814 Those guys never spent a day in jail, Marcello controlled Louisiana, new Orleans, and the surrounding states with trafficante, they were closely connected with Chicago whos boss accardo never went to jail either, between them they controlled the north, south and western parts of America, anyone that thinks John Gotti held more power is an imbecile, and the commission, accardo had control over all of Chicago, and a dozen other bosses, and good relations with the five families anyway, working with Marcello and trafficante, they wacked a president, they put a president in office,, that's power

    Trafficante stories always hit home with me because my uncle was an attorney for one his family's associate and laundered their money. My uncle died in a freak unwitnessed accident while his client was under a deep IRS investigation. Our family always knew that it was no accident but had to accept his. His client never was charged and became extremely rich. My Dad was employed by the New Oleans family running illegal casinos games and slot machines , paying off law enforcement, politicians and union officials. He was never a violent man, but after my uncle's death he quit and stopped all his illegal activities and started carrying a gun. One of my Uncle's friends owned a eye clinic and got caught billing for surgeries that never occurred, he fled to Mexico. And the Dallas crime family continued for many years after being declared "defunct. "

    “Crude video tape surveillance, that just sounds like there’s, some other completely secret and deafly illegal.
    You know what made a lot of the old school guys in the Midwest so “interesting” and hard to look away from, is because they don’t speak to the media, let alone each other as much as they need to for an agent to get a “profile” on the guy. I’m speaking solely about the Chicago fellas, even Trafficante has that “must be seen” east coast swag. (Al Capone may have owned Chicago, but he’ll always be from New York.)
