Re: IS THE IRISH AMERICAN MOB DEAD?
The Irish ceased having a major presence in American organized crime by the 1940's. However, you still had groups here and there, the two most well known being the Westies in New York and the Winter Hill Gang in Boston. But there isn't much left of those groups either at this point.dinky wrote:With the influx of other ethnic criminals,what is the state of play for the Irish mob in cities like New York and Boston?

But I do know that The Departed was based partly on an older movie called Internal Affairs, as well as partly on Irish mobster James "Whitey" Bulger from Boston's Winter Hill Gang. Bulger and the gang were at the height of their power in the 1970's and 1980's, rivaling the Patriarca Family. The Winter Hill Gang controlled South Boston while the Patriarcas controlled North Boston. As is now well known, Bulger had been a secret FBI informant for years. Much of the gang was taken down in the early 1990's and Bulger became a fugitive and has now been on the FBI's Top Ten Most Wanted list for years. The feds just raised the reward for his capture to $2 million a few days ago.

Re: IS THE IRISH AMERICAN MOB DEAD?
The Irish arent really prominent in the UK underworld,im from Scotland and crime there is run by locals,London has a varied mix of ethnic crime organisations,other cities like Manchester and Birmingham are mainly local and Jamaicans,there arent any major Irish groups there i think politics gets in the way.However i think the Irish cities are run by locals.mmd604 wrote:what about the uk are irish crime groups prominent in the underworld

The Irish mob in America is not dead. It just has cancer and is going through kemo. Chances don't look too good the doctor said. They hold a stance in Canada though.
Re: IS THE IRISH AMERICAN MOB DEAD?
in america maybe irish mob has cancer but albanian mob has leukaemia after rudaj indictement ahahaha i read that bugler and his irish gang in boston is sill powerful and by far stronger than any albanian groups across america (if they really still are alive) at least bugler was not submitted by the mafia like rudaj he had his independet gang...

I do not know what you mean by submitted by the mafia. But I'll take it as you said something ignorant an unsmart because thats your usual case. Alex Rudaj did not back down or submit to the mafia. He stuck a gun to Gambino boss' face. Threatened to kill them all. Took over a club protected by them. Another club protected by the Luccheses and beat up made men. So tell me, in what way did they submit to the mafia?
Re: IS THE IRISH AMERICAN MOB DEAD?
Arnold Squirtiri was not a Gambino boss, he was a capo or street boss. Rudaj didnt kill any made members just beat them up. New York rules are different, if this happened in Jersey, Rudaj would be dead and not in prison.AlbaniaUnited wrote:Faciulina wrote:in america maybe irish mob has cancer but albanian mob has leukaemia after rudaj indictement ahahaha i read that bugler and his irish gang in boston is sill powerful and by far stronger than any albanian groups across america (if they really still are alive) at least bugler was not submitted by the mafia like rudaj he had his independet gang...

Re: IS THE IRISH AMERICAN MOB DEAD?
At one time the Winter Hill gang was certainly more powerful than the Rudaj gang ever was. But Bulger has been in hiding for years, as well as on the FBI's Top Ten Most Wanted List. And the Winter Hill gang appears to be largely defunct.Faciulina wrote:in america maybe irish mob has cancer but albanian mob has leukaemia after rudaj indictement ahahaha i read that bugler and his irish gang in boston is sill powerful and by far stronger than any albanian groups across america (if they really still are alive) at least bugler was not submitted by the mafia like rudaj he had his independet gang...
I'm not sure what you mean by New York rules are different than New Jersey. Squitieri was the Acting Boss of the Gambino family at the time. Which could also be termed "street boss." As I have said before, and as the authorities have said, the Gambinos were operating in a fractured state at this time. Both they and the Luccheses were realing from recent indictments and convictions. This is what allowed the Rudaj gang to temporarilly take over two Greek clubs in Queens that were paying tribute to those two LCN families. Still a very ballsy move to be sure, but certainly not as important as many in the media at the time, a few law enforcement personel, and a couple posters on this forum would like to believe.Richboy17 wrote:Arnold Squirtiri was not a Gambino boss, he was a capo or street boss.

Re: IS THE IRISH AMERICAN MOB DEAD?
It was actually the other way round, arnold got heated and threatend to blow alex's brains out but then nikola pointed his gun at the pump and threatend to blow everyone up.We've been through this with Johnny over and over again,besides they never beat any made men up it was some silly greek criminals in queens they pistol whipped,now where's Alex Rudaj? He dont have shit.AlbaniaUnited wrote:Faciulina wrote:in america maybe irish mob has cancer but albanian mob has leukaemia after rudaj indictement ahahaha i read that bugler and his irish gang in boston is sill powerful and by far stronger than any albanian groups across america (if they really still are alive) at least bugler was not submitted by the mafia like rudaj he had his independet gang...

Re: IS THE IRISH AMERICAN MOB DEAD?
This is what I've said over and over again. The reason one of the Rudaj guys threatened to do something as drastic as shoot a gas pump with a shotgun was because they were vastly outnumbered by the Gambinos. But AlbaniaUnited would have everyone believe that the Gambinos backed off simply because the Rudaj guys pointed their guns at them. What we have here is just another Albanian poster blowing up the Rudaj gang out of proportion. As for the Rudaj guys actually beating up made guys, I've seen mention of it here and there but never any real evidence. No specific names, places, or situations where this was supposed to have happened.TeeKay wrote:It was actually the other way round, arnold got heated and threatend to blow alex's brains out but then nikola pointed his gun at the pump and threatend to blow everyone up.We've been through this with Johnny over and over again,besides they never beat any made men up it was some silly greek criminals in queens they pistol whipped,now where's Alex Rudaj?

Usually in New York you get a beating if you disrespect a made member. In New Jersey the guys gonna get whacked. If this happened in Jersey the Decalvcantes would of blown Rudaj face off anyway. They have nothing to lose because they are a small family that is looked down anyway, they just wanna be on the map.

Re: IS THE IRISH AMERICAN MOB DEAD?
The "Irish Mob" is dead. The westies are all gone, they died with that fat serb. The winter hill is the closest thing to the "Irish Mob" there is. They have a boss and a few lieutenants now they are nothin more than bookies and drug pushers.

Re: IS THE IRISH AMERICAN MOB DEAD?
Theyre not at all died. The irish mob have lost power because of the mixture of ethnices in the neighborhoods where they were known by their hegemony. Nowadays they still working in districts of connecticut, Philly and Pennsylvania. Theve lost most of his power but it isnt completly died.
