Step out back behind Mosca’s

I read that Bill Clinton was involved with them and they helped him become governor of Arkansas.

I always stayed away from Copperhead Road.

You must have watched Young Sheldon last night. I had never heard of Dixie Mafia, but they were mentioned on the show last night.

Here is an old article that explains Bill Clinton's ties to the mafia.
What a disgrace to the state of Arkansas.

Mississippi Mud and Dream Room go into a lot of this. Dream Room is after Mike Gillich flipped and gave everything up on the killings.
Halat showed up, but sent his assistant in to find them. He was too chickenshit to go check himself. He was a sleazy muther.
Corso wasn’t killed for any mob related reasons, he was strictly a robbery gone bad. Since he owned a grocery, Kirksey and his crew decided he had a lot of cash. When they broke in they had a shootout. It’s actually what got Nix sent away to Angola where he started the scam that got the Sherry’s killed. Both of those books are pretty good reads, especially when you grew up on the coast and know a ton of the names and places.

The Italian mob was all over Atlanta in the 80's and 90's. Being Italian or Catholic didn't mean shite. They ran all sorts of operations. The one they got busted for was the Gold Club- a strip club they made sure was the best in town and attracted celebs, sports players, politicians, etc. Then used it as an extortion operation.
Today, if a sports player comes in and out of a gentleman's club it's no big deal, but it was considered embarrassing back then.

I have a friend that actually bumped into the sherry killer that am. I think that’s in the book.
The Clinton issue is very complicated and beyond the Dixie Mafia issue and was actually discussed in detail in the ATPB. It’s better understood with Barry and the Boys if you are lucky enough to find a company. Milton McGregor, Barry Seal and a few others ran guns and drugs for George Bush Sr snd the CiA in the 80s

One of the favorite memories of my early twenties. Great girls and few rules.
In that same time frame, the TV show COPS was filming in Jackson. They raided Tiffany's with the cameras rolling. The Mississippi Legislature was in session that week. The footage was never aired and assumed destroyed on site.

This sounds like an episode of Mad Lads.

I actually do. Anyone read the book 'Mississippi Mud'? Someone I know was the manager of the hardware store where Angola orders its material from. There is a guy in that book, who is in Angola, who builds a lot of shite. Normally an office admin calls and places the order, but he needed something specific. He called the guy I know, who had to call him back. He asked for the guy by the name that's on the orders and the admin was like "you mean? _____". He doesn't like to be called by his official name and she told him "from now on ask for ___ he doesn't like to be called by his real name".
I forget the name he goes by, I will find out, but evidently the guy builds a lot of furniture.

There was a lot of activity in Biloxi.
There really wasn't an "official" gang.. They never referred to themselves as Dixie Mafia. There was a lot of shady business deals, people being killed throughout those states, I think there was some in north Florida, but in Biloxi there was the casino boats and a military base close by so strip clubs were lucrative. Also a good business to clean money and if anyone tried to become a competitor or a potential elected official was vocal about "cleaning up" the city in terms of titty bars and illegal gambling. They were not going to win their election... one way or the other.

Another.
quote:
a onetime member of the "Dixie Mafia," was indicted on 37 counts of conspiracy to commit theft. The indictment says the scam was operated from inside the Louisiana State Penitentiary in Angola. Nix and 14 co-defendants were running personal ads "in gay magazines and other publications," and "correspondence was initiated leading to telephone calls that led to squeezing money out of the victims,"
