NEW YORK (Reuters) -- Joseph "Big Joey" Massino, the so-called Last Don and reputed boss of New York's Bonanno crime family, was convicted of seven counts of murder Friday and faces a mandatory life sentence.

It's almost sad to see the last don out of all the notorious N.Y. crime families go away.

Interesting enough though, the Bonnano family, was the family infiltrated by "Donnie Brasco" in the '70s. Cool stuff.

Should of played it smart like chicago and had a guy in the government. New York was all leg-breakers, never did shit quietly and never reached outside the US. Thats their downfall

as long as there are drugs there will be organized crime, in every city and every state.

no one is going to do a damn thing to stop it either.

america was founded on bootlegs and illegal goods.

Yep, nothing was quite like organized crime in Chicago.

im talkin more in the late 60's 70's and 80's

Still gotta admit, Capone was the shit. I hear in the area outside of Chicago where he grew up in(don't know the name of it), the people still talk of him like a hero or a god.

The Sicilian families are still intact and operating worldwide. They were always the real money and power behind the American LCN families anyway.

Just because they are not in the headlines does not mean their gone.

yeah right.. they arent going anywhere

The Columbian drug lords and the Russian mob runs ny now.

:Graucho

spoken right out of your ass

indeed......... indeed.............:thumbsup

There Here.......:BangBang:

Dude, why do you have to be the only one on the board to have a sig bigger then the table..WTH :321GFY

Yep for sure.

Reminds me of what Keyser Sosa said in The Usual Suspects:

"The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist."

The mafia would definitely be smarter and more powerful if no one ever heard from them. Invisibility = invincibility.

Wouldnt worry to much with the "red" mafia getting bigger all the time.

Yeah , so...........what are you trying to say ??:Graucho

you posted something about the mafia on a public board.....















....nice knownin ya. :glugglug

Organised crime is so much a part of our culture in one form or another and our habits feed it! :2 cents:

ROFL ... This aiin't gonna happen ... other families from other cities will take the spot :)

LOL I agree and to think that there aren't "connected" people in our very own biz is a bit naive to say the least. :)

I thought he grew up in NYC?
