Interesting. My next book I'm reading is one about him. Hopefully it refers to that

He had as much power as anyone but I'm almost positive he was never in one of the 5 families. Jewish mob, yes. Italian American, no.

I dunno if less exciting. The mobs political influence was pretty remarkable.

One could argue the Kansas city mafia connections got Harry Truman his political career

How tf do you get pics of the president having sex with kids? I have so many questions.




J. Edgar, not Herbert.

The more popular rumor isn't that he was a pedo. It's that he was a gay crossdresser, but in either case Lansky was reputed to have proof and he kept it under wraps in exchange for the FBI ignoring the mob.

Richard Kuklinski. Rumored to kill over 100 people. Practiced killing homeless people before becoming a mob hitman


IIRC, that's the doc I saw where he talks about putting Christmas presents under the tree for his kids in the morning and then leaves his house and goes and whacks some guy, disposes of the body. Then went back home and opened presents with the kids. Cold blooded

He talked about killing a lot of people. Actually I think I saw 2 documentaries. One interviewed him and the his son or daughter.

Yeah, I've read that Pesci's character was mild compared to the real thing



I agree. DeSimone was actually over 6 feet tall and strung out on coke all the time. It didn't help him that he killed 2 of Gotti's close friends, and a made man in the Gambino family.
