What we know about #RudyGiuliani today is that he's a moron and clearly did not take down #FiveFamilies himself. That was #Mogilevich with #EdgarBronfman #MegaGroup that took over their turf, as last Italian mob family hid in #Montreal.

#WarInTheUkraine & #CrusadeAgainstShia are splits in that mob.

"Empire of Ashes: How Betrayal, Greed, and FBI Infiltration Destroyed New York's Criminal Kingdom" They ruled New York like emperors for nearly a century, but the Five Families' downfall wasn't just inevitable—it was orchestrated by the very people they trusted most. In this devastating exposé, we reveal how the most powerful criminal organization in American history was brought to its knees by a perfect storm of betrayal, mind-blowing stupidity, and the FBI's most brilliant undercover operation ever conceived. The end began with John Gotti's ego and his fatal mistake of wiretapping himself while bragging about murders. But that was just the beginning. We expose how Sammy "The Bull" Gravano's decision to flip triggered an avalanche of betrayal that saw underbosses turning on their own families, how the FBI's secret weapon—a bug planted in the Ravenite Social Club—captured every crime boss in New York incriminating themselves, and why the mob's own greed became their ultimate weakness. Through explosive FBI recordings that captured mob bosses planning murders while federal agents listened in real-time, never-before-seen surveillance footage of the final days of America's most notorious crime families, and shocking testimonies from the turncoats who destroyed their own blood brothers, we chronicle the spectacular collapse of an empire built on fear and blood. But the real twisted tale isn't just about the fall—it's about what replaced it. Discover how the old mob's destruction created a power vacuum filled by even more dangerous criminals, why former FBI agents now work for the very crime families they once hunted, and how the "dead" New York mob actually evolved into something more profitable and terrifying than ever before. This is the story of how America's most feared criminal empire didn't just fall—it was deliberately demolished from within by the very loyalty and honor codes that once made it untouchable.

"The Board of Directors: Inside the Mafia's Secret Ruling Council" In 1931, a secret meeting in a Chicago hotel room changed organized crime forever. The most powerful crime bosses in America gathered to establish what would become known as "The Commission" – a shadow government that would rule the American underworld for over half a century. This wasn't just a gang of criminals; it was a sophisticated corporate board that controlled territory, settled disputes, and maintained order among the most violent men in America. In this groundbreaking episode of Criminal Empire: Mafia Mysteries & Serial Killers, we reveal the true story of the Mafia Commission's formation and the legendary crime bosses who sat at its table. From Lucky Luciano's vision of organized crime as a business enterprise to the brutal power struggles that determined who would control America's criminal underworld, this is the story of how the mob became a corporation. The Commission's original members read like a who's who of organized crime: Charles "Lucky" Luciano, the visionary who created the modern American Mafia; Joe Bonanno, the traditionalist who believed in old-world values; Tommy Lucchese, the diplomat who kept the peace between warring families; Carlo Gambino, the quiet don who built the most powerful crime family in America; and Vito Genovese, the ambitious underboss who would stop at nothing to claim the top spot. We examine how these crime bosses divided up America like corporate executives carving up market territories. The Commission established rules for everything from murder contracts to labor union control, creating a system that prevented the gang wars that had previously decimated organized crime. They weren't just criminals – they were CEOs of illegal enterprises that generated billions in revenue. Through FBI surveillance transcripts, wiretapped conversations, and testimony from former members, we reveal the Commission's secret meetings in restaurants, social clubs, and private homes across America. We expose their discussions about eliminating rivals, their debates over expanding into new criminal enterprises, and their careful negotiations to maintain the balance of power that kept them all wealthy and free. The Commission's influence extended far beyond traditional organized crime. We investigate their control over legitimate businesses, their corruption of labor unions, and their ability to influence elections at every level of government. They weren't operating outside the system – they were manipulating it from within. But the Commission's greatest achievement was creating a criminal organization that could survive the death or imprisonment of individual leaders. Unlike traditional gangs that collapsed when their bosses were eliminated, the Commission created a system of succession and shared power that allowed organized crime to flourish for generations. From the Castellammarese War that preceded its formation to the Apalachin Meeting that exposed its existence, this is the complete story of how America's most powerful criminals created a shadow government that controlled the underworld for decades. Access the complete investigation with exclusive Commission meeting transcripts and rare family photographs on Spreaker, or stream on Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and iHeartRadio. This is essential listening for understanding how organized crime really operated at the highest levels.

Marlon François as Don Carloni* in a black and white still from gangster classic ‘The Gobshite’. *And no, that’s not a typo. His mother’s maiden name is Carloni, according to Wikipedia. Examining his attitude towards Europe must be a treat for psychologists.

The head of the #FiveFamilies is going to make you an offer you can’t take seriously.
