Those Klan cocksuckers were so repugnant that organized criminals and the FBI were willing to collaborate with each other to hasten the demise of that KKK faction. Beautiful!

    Another great vid OC Shortz, we cam always count on hearing stories nobody has told before or versions of famous stories that dispute the mainstream versions like the vid on who really carried out the Anastasia hit. That one was awesome, I was always suspicious when hearing that it was Crazy Joe and Persico. I've been really interested in hearing Angelo Brunos story as well as Russell Buffalino, especially after watching The Irishman and recently watched a video on Bonnanos cousin Magadino. In the video they claimed that Magadino was Boss over the Commission and ruled quietly and indiscreetly while everyone believed it was the NY families that had the power. Wonder if theres any facts to that claim, have you heard anything of that sort? Keep up the great work man

      I doubt men like the Persico brothers/sons would have let that go on, especially as it would put them at risk with the Commission if it came out that they knew. I don't doubt that Larry mazza was told that "they knew it for years" but it was probably just a way to save face or make it seem like they had their finger on the pulse of the situation. You could be right though, I just doubt a guy like Carmine would have let that fly especially since the Colombo's seem to almost like taking their own guys out more than anything else lol.

    Great content provided, as always. The wide spectrum of topics within the mob genre that you cover make your channel unique. As far as your pronunciation of Magliocco, I’m not sure myself of the exact pronunciation either, however, I can say for sure that it was indeed butchered. That being said with content this good, who cares? Of course, for the benefit of your channel I will always offer constructive criticism, but truth be told, in this case I’m not 100% sure of the correct pronunciation. I think it’s pronounced Mag-Lee-occo, but am far from sure about that
