Dear Rex,
Indeed, the infamous fraud artist that worked for Milwaukee Phil is the Alan Rosenberg that was well associated with Fratto’s attorney, Mr. Nasser.

Cleveland,
In the interest of fairness, I believe Ma was mentally reading her list. The kids however, were reading paper notes. However, Ma explained that she is almost blind in only one eye. She could obviously see when she walked around. I think they painted it on too thick for the judge. Although, with the high profile status of this case, I think it would have been difficult for any judge to justify no jail time for a defendant that decided not to pay income tax for 7-years. As the judge said, “it’s not like he only missed one year.” He did not pay for 7-years.

I don’t believe that Fratto would have said, “I know where you live – wait. You are dead” at his sentencing (of all things) today.
Even if you say he did.

On the other hand, I do believe that name-calling by the Fratto family rose to some fierce levels, and even that their low-blows were all false and unsubstantiated ridicule. Can you elaborate on exactly what they were saying to you?

You didn’t put Rudolph in prison, so I think your response was appropriate.

Please address these questions.

How does Rudolph know where you live if you’ve gone into hiding, as your security detail has advised you to do?

in reference to a previous thread, how did cerone spoil your credibility with Kass when Kass was going to write that article? What exactly did he say to Kass? Was it along the lines of the children thing, as stated above?

And Why do you think Kass would want to help you in a defamation lawsuit?

You’re setting a precedent by using the word Sh-t.

How does Rudolph know where you live if you’ve gone into hiding, as your security detail has advised you to do?

Excuse me for using the word sh**. I thought I blocked it out. I am sorry.

For the record, I would not want to do one second in jail. However, I am not a gangster pretending to be a mob boss.

Dear F***,

I would like to share an afterthought with you. You accused me of being dishonest about my claim that Rudy threatened me in the hallway of the courthouse. You suggested that Rudy would not do something like that on his sentencing day. As if he is too smart to do something so stupid.

I have one question; do 7-years of income tax evasion appear as something a smart man decides to commit? Especially a man that knows he has been a federal target for several years.

Again, I would like to review the video and/or audio recordings on the 21st floor hallway.

Rudys uncles Frank and Louie are turning over in their graves!!! His grandmother could have done 8 mos standing on her head. Rudy Kim and their children have made a mockery out of this family crying and begging in court for a measley 8 mos Whats gonna happen when they hit him with 20!!! http://www.midwestmafia.com see the real Fratto men!!!

Joe, Fratto calls you a pervert according to a quote by Kass.

Can I ask why he and his family called you a pervert and so forth? Were they referencing the Archdiocese inquest into your motives with children, re, KTF Vatican program, or was it for some other reason that they called you those names? Or is it totally made up?

Do you think it’s reasonable to think that Fratto’s family has read your articles against their father/husband, and that this is what (partially) fueled their anger against you in court yesterday?

Also, are you fearing for your life now more than ever, seeing as you received a death threat directly from Rudy Fratto himself?

Finally, do believe that Rudy’s family will be facing financial destitution when he goes off to prison, or do you think he has money put away for a rainy day?

Dear Joe,
I think you have a great site. You are a thorough journalist. I am glad you showed Fratto up. He is a creep. Keep up the good work.

Man, you must have the magic touch. If I was involved in that wacky skull stunt or in the matter of the phone harassment victimization of Jack P. Cerone, Esquire, my wife would have had me committed to the funny farm!

(Please be advised that John Kass is of Greek heritage–NOT Italian heritage.)

The Fratto’s would have the court believe that they are facing foreclosure. But the real truth is that John DiFronzo would never let that happen. It is one of the rules of the mob–if you go away your family gets taken care of. The mob has also been known to absorb the attorneys’ fees for its members. A trusted Capo like Fratto as the undying affection and physical and financial protection of DiFronzo and Marcello. End of story. The court should have realized this.

Dear Mooney,

You could not be more wrong. DiFronzo would not give Fratto a dime to make a phone call (if phone calls were still ten-cents). Outfit bosses to not give money to anyone. If you are an Outfit member, you had better figure out a way to give your boss money. The similarities between organized crime and organized religion amaze me. In fact, Fratto is not a trusted Capo, first he is not a Capo, secondly, DiFronzo does not trust him. I guess that DiFronzo will not sleep well tonight. John Kass and I pointed out how desperate Rudy was in court yesterday trying to convince the judge not to send him to prison, coupled with Fratto wanting 6-months to turn in, says he is not a candidate for being a good prisoner. No doubt, Fratto could put DiFronzo on the lethal injection table if he wanted to and no one knows this better than DiFronzo. Will Fratto crack?

You would think DiFronzo would take care of someone that could send him to prison. Trust me, no way! DiFronzo will not come up with a dime for Fratto.

However, Fratto has a close family member that is very wealthy. I believe if Fratto drops the Outfit boss act, swallows his foolish pride and politely asks for help, he might get it from his wealthy relative – definitely not from Difronzo.

Joe, I suspect a lot of Steve Warmbir’s blog’s readership has spilled over to KTF since Warmbir rarely updates anymore.

I’ve repeatedly submitted comments and emails to him trying to promote KTF as good source of info about the current state of the Outfit, but he has never published these comments or anything. He has ignored them, which is very strange since he published even the stupidest comments and the most incendiary accusations. Why do you think this is?

I’m also curious why Kass would include a description of your altercation with the Fratto family, and specifically that Rudy called you a liar and a pervert. It really has nothing to do with Fratto’s sentencing, and – frankly – I think it reflects poorly on you. If I were you, I’d be p.o.’d at Kass. Why would Kass do this?

joe which one guy was a good guy that
the fratto daughters dated or married

Joe, which one did you date?

Dear JonJon,

I would rather not comment on which man was the good one, among the Fratto daughter’s men. I will save that as a back door if I am ever confronted by one of the dangerous men the girls have dated. To escape danger I will tell the individual confronting me “I meant you were the good one.”

Dear Coo-ma-do,

Your name reminds me of 1970’s hairstyle for a man.

I was never blessed with the good fortune of dating either of the Ms. Sisters Fratto.

Dear Mr. fAsco (5:45pm comment),

Your opinions are noted. Thank you.

Dear Coo,
You are too funny.

Dear Teets,

Thank you for your information. I am aware of Mr. fAsco. The ‘pervert’ accusation was indicated in a quote by Rudy Fratto which appeared in an article today’s Chicago Tribune, authored by John Kass. After you read it, please satisfy any questions you might have by reading my 8:07pm comment – today. Thank you.

dear joe, was the courthouse packed? were there a lot of onlookers or mob watchers?

hahaha, joe. if you do a google search for “rudy fratto” one of the images that comes up is the red-nose one you did back around christmas. it’s really funny. try it.

joe. i saw the fratto’s in the city shortly after the sentencing and noticed that there appeared to be a man with breasts in their entourage. do you have ANY idea who this might have been? at first, i thought it might have been a mob enforcer, until i got to thinking that his intimidating, hulking size was completely mitigated by his upper extremities.

Dear Joe,

Thank you for making me piss my pants laughing before 11 a.m. today. I won’t blame you if you delete your comment, though!

Attention Public:

Mr. Fratto took part in putting an Outfit hit on me in the past, now he has recently renewed the hit on my life.

Was it the FBI?! Rudy would be nuts to try anything!

Stupid + Deadly = Prison & Death (unfortunately for me)

Dear LH,

All the defendants named in my civil RICO complaint were involved in the original threat on my life (however, Dr. Giacchino’s involvement came later, regarding the protection money I had to pay to remain unharmed). Cerone and Fratto instigated the entire matter.

I discovered the hit when FBI Special Agent Trisha Holt from the Chicago office informed my attorney, Mr. Robert DeMeo that organized crime members in Chicago were conspiring to murder me. In addition, a Chicago Outfit member corroborated the FBI’s report by tipping me off to be careful because Cerone and Fratto put a hit on me. The Outfit member informed me that John and Peter DiFronzo sanctioned the hit.

I have no idea who to expect will carry out Fratto’s renewed wishes to have me murdered. I am working on that right now.

Dear George,

I have been waiting for a sick person like you to say something. In other words, you support the death penalty being ordered for a victim that simply visited a courtroom to watch his torturer brought to justice.

Do everyone on the thread a favor – do not come back here.

Be advised the second sentence in my previous comment contains a typp (posts), see below.

The danger that plagued my family arrived prior to my internet posts.

Be advised the final sentence in my previous comment contains a typo (no), see below.

A former English teacher told me once, “everyone makes typo’s – no one cares about them.”

I am being silly now.

JOE
YOU THINK JOHN RAINONE AND MARCO DEVITO
WILL BE THE ONES TO PICK UP THE CONTRACT ON YOU.AND YES JOHN IS THE SON OF MARIO RAINONE.MARCO GOES BY”BIG SAM” HE LOOKS LIKE JABBA THE HUT. HE IS ALSO CALLED
MARCOSAURAS.AND THEY ARE BOTH DOUBLE AGENTS. “BIG TIME BEEFERS”
IT IS THE ONLY REASON THEY STAY OUT JAIL
DOING ANY MAJOR TIME .
WHO DO YOU THINK PUT THE HEAT ON MARIOS
BURGLARIES.
JOHN DONE THIS TO HIS OWN FATHER ALONG
WITH BIG SAM

Dear JonJon,

I have to admit, I have heard everything you stated about John and Marco. However, I have no evidence to support or dispute it.

As to John and Marco picking up the contract on my life, I cannot see Marco doing a good job of washing his fat a**, let alone murdering someone. As for John, I suppose he would be interested in making money. However, I am not sure that Rudy would trust him with a hit (unless Rudy is more desperate than I think).

Attention Readers:

The fAsco commenter spells ‘Joseph’ differently as well. I overlooked it. He or she spells Joseph as Joesh – be advised.

Dear Mutorcs,

I will write a book some day. I do not have enough material as of yet.

I am not smearing anyone. I report the truth. If my ‘subjects’ feel as though my stories are smearing them, they should take a look at their conduct because the truth is what is being told.

What I find glorious and satisfying is spreading awareness to the public about bad people in the community. I intend to stop the bad people that I write about on KTF Media Group.

I do not believe in karma, I do not put weird God’s before my God. I am a good Catholic.

As for preying on the innocent, it appears Rudy is beginning to pay for his bad decisions.

I hope Rudy pays a great deal more for all the bad things he has done.

Dear fAsco,

“Self proclaimed sensationalism?” I do not believe that is possible. So much for your credibility as a literate person, (perhaps it was merely a simple mistake).

A majority portion of Mr. Fratto’s immediate family threatened and assaulted me the other day; ask John Kass, he witnessed some of it. In fact, he commented on it in his article yesterday. Where have you been?

You do not have the authority or the capability to void my credibility. Thank you for your rather desperate opinions. I hope you feel better soon. Take two aspirin and do not call me in the morning.

Pardon me, Ma Barker.

Dear Cleveland,

I know the difference between slander and libel. I am guilty of neither. Unless you can show me a certified court document proving that a judgment has been ordered in support of a slander or libel claim against me. Perhaps you can advise the supposed victims to file lawsuits if they believe they have a case.

The definitions of the word heckle are: (1) transitive and intransitive verb to shout remarks, insults, or questions in order to disconcert somebody who is making a speech or giving a performance. (2) A very angry crowd of voters heckled the candidate for mayor.

I did not engage in the act of heckling. On the contrary, the Fratto family heckled at me.

Below, I have a copy of Warmbir’s article. There is no mention of heckling. Mr. or Ms. Cleveland, you have demonstrated the act of libel. You falsely printed that Warmbir wrote the blogger heckled. Not true (unless Warmbir wrote an additional article that I cannot find, if so please show us).

See article below:

January 28, 2010

BY STEVE WARMBIR Staff Reporter
For years, Rudy Fratto has been dubbed a reputed top Chicago mobster.
But Fratto sees its differently.
“I’m a reputed good guy,” Fratto said Wednesday, outside a federal courtroom, just moments after a judge sentenced him to prison for a year a day for tax evasion.
Indeed, U.S. District Judge Matthew Kennelly found Fratto “has done an outstanding job of raising a family,” but said Fratto’s crime was too serious to allow him to sentence Fratto to home confinement, as Fratto wanted, rather than prison.
Fratto, 66, of Darien, had avoided paying taxes on more than $800,000 on income over seven years by having various firms, including a gaming technology company, pay him through a bank account of a defunct trucking company that Fratto controlled.
“I was living beyond my means, and I was taking care of my family,” Fratto explained.
Fratto could have been sentenced up to 18 months in prison. By being sentenced to a year and a day, rather than a year, Fratto becomes eligible for good conduct time and could serve as little as 10 months of his sentence.
Fratto’s family tearfully requested that he not be sent to prison, citing him as the family’s role model.
Right after his sentencing, outside the courtroom, tensions ran high as Fratto and his family clashed with a blogger who attended the court hearing and has written negatively about Fratto.
Irate family members had to be restrained as Fratto yelled at the blogger, “Get out of here.”
The tax evasion charge, investigated by the IRS, marks the first time Fratto’s been convicted of a crime.
Before his current problems, “I never been arrested for anything,” Fratto explained. “Not traffic. Not a DUI. Nothing.”
But he’s been a target of FBI investigators for years.
Most recently, federal investigators listed him as a top threat to Nick Calabrese, a former mob hitman who had turned into the star witness at the Family Secrets mob trial.
Fratto also allegedly attended a meeting in 2001 to approve the expansion of the video gambling territory of top mobsters James Marcello and his half-brother, Michael.
On Wednesday, Fratto tried to appear unruffled about the proceedings, but as he walked down the hall he shouted, “What a f—— joke!”

Dear Readers,

I have called Rudy Fratto stupid in previous blog comments. Fratto committed income tax evasion, knowing he is a federal target, which is stupid. He did not commit income tax evasion once, but seven times – stupid.

Another example of Fratto’s stupidity, he contributed to causing a big scene in the hallway after his sentencing hearing ended the other day: If such scene did not occur, the Fratto ‘blogger’ / KTF Media Group’s ‘Joe Fosco’ would not have made the newspapers.

Rudy, thank you for helping KTF Media Group with its ratings – KTF’s ratings have skyrocketed for the last two days. Again, thank you Rudy.

If it were not for Rudy’s stupid temper, no one would have known I was there and KTF would not have reaped any benefit. Again, thank you Rudy. And, on behalf of my advertisers, thank you Rudy.

Rudy’s late uncles and late father, who were real men, would have never made the stupid decisions that Rudy has made.

I agree with you Pete. In fact, I was thinking of that when I wrote my previous comment (while you were writing your comment).

Dear Readers:

Want to talk about being ‘nuts’ (crazy), someone who needs professional help?

According to Mr. Warmbir’s article, which I have pasted in a previous comment in this thread, Mr. Warmbir quotes Fratto as saying, “what a f***ing joke,” as he walked down the hallway after the hearing. It looks like Mr. Fratto thinks his hearing was a joke – not real. Mr. Fratto, no joke, you are going to prison. Reality issues seem very popular amongst your clan, Mr. Fratto. Please get a grip and accept that you are on your way to prison.

Thank you,

JF

Dear “Joesh” F_A_s_c_o

I hope you feel like a piece of sh*t for denigrating a Joe who is facing threat of death at the hands of the mafia. If you’re that angry at him, go practice your self-indulgent, masturbatory whining on Steve Warmbir’s blog, and leave Joe Fosco the hell alone.

Fratto is has been identified by our federal government as a made member of the Chicago Outfit, did you know that? You don’t earn that reputation by doing an outstanding job raising your family; you earn it by being a killer.

Piss off.

Vic, where have you been, I needed some support. Thanks.

The only way you can really hate Rudy Jr is by knowing him.

Sorry Joe. Better late late than never, as they say.

Who the hell is this bozo, anyway? Some Outfit wanna-be? Some ‘mob watcher’ who romanticizes that life? And why is he saying that John Kass “dismisses” you? I didn’t think Kass was dismissive of you at all.

Speaking of Kass, in his article he specifically mentions: “the fear (Rudy Fratto) inspires in wiseguys when they spot him in their rear-view mirrors and the silence at the mention of his name.” What does that tell you, fAsco, about Rudy Fratto, regardless of whether or not he’s been convicted of crime before?

Joe, I can’t believe there’s some sick bastard out there running to the defense of this Fratto psychopath. It’s been said on here before, and I’ll take the liberty of saying it again:

the Chicago Outfit is a terrorist organization, and its members are terrorists!

Joesh fAsco, you have some serious problems!

Joe said he felt bad for the children and the family. Didn’t you read that part, or do you have selective memory, fAsco?

Joesh “Fasco”

You’ll find someone who shares your opinions on this website:
http://www.liberalrapture.com/uploaded_images/middle_finger-704928.jpg

Joe and KTF readers,

I’m sorry to have resorted to posting that link (January 29, 2010 at 7:45 pm). I would have much rather had an adult conversation with “Joesh Fasco” in order to try and reason with him. But, it appears as if I might have scared him off, which seems like the next best thing. Yes, dear readers, it appears as if he is gone for now, but if he comes back, I’m prepared to charge into cyberspace like a f%cking maniac to scare him off again. I can be an apesh#t bat outta hell when I want to be.

I’d like to apologize to Joe Fosco for my 2 comments yesterday in which I express doubts about his claim that Fratto threatened his life.

Joe I am extremely sorry.

Cleveland,

Thank you for the clarification.

Dear Readers:

I have been extremely open and honest about my life on KTF. If anyone has any questions about my past, please read the following article if you have not done so already.

http://www.ktfmediagroup.com/home/2009/02/17/an-interview-with-joseph-fosco/

Dear “fart on a horsey boner”

Perhaps this is obvious to everyone else reading this, but something tells me that you haven’t had very many adult conversations in your life. No offense.

joe
ive been hearing about joe abate
what do you know about him
also what if john rainone takes the contract with his
uncle louie or his friend anthony gianone
would any of the 3 above mentioned be willing or
capable to do rudys contract on you
3 being abate,louie rainone,and gianone

Dear Readers:

Tonight while I was having dinner with some friends, I heard it is widely suspected by many that Rudy Fratto was the cause of his wife’s broken feet, which was discovered during her speech to the court. I heard Rudy was fighting with his wife and flew off in a rage grabbing his son’s baseball bat fracturing both of her feet.

I would not be surprised if it were true.

Dear JonJon,

Look, I appreciate your willingness to help me figure out who my assign is going to be, however, I am not smart enough to solve this puzzle. If you have information that could be useful, please contact the FBI and tell them about it.

look joe
im just throwing things in the air at you
i have no concrete facts of anything. you really would rather
have the fbi know about something before you. when it pertains
to you. you are smarter than that. do you know this gianone guy
or louie rainone.also in a previous reply
i asked you which one guy was a good guy that dated the fratto
girls and you never gave an actual name.and what about the joke bout ma barkers foot vs hand
ps ma barker is one of the best monikers ever

joey

how does john rainone have any stature in the Outfit, or among prospective future members of the Outfit, if his father {mario} basically cooperated with the governement, and is now a two-bit burglar?!!

Dear JonJon,

I appreciate your willingness to help me. However, I am not concerned about any of the Rainone’s and/or Gianone. Although Lou Rainone is the one capable of murder, I do not believe Rudy would rely on him. However, I will keep an open mind. Thank you.

As to the one good guy that dated or married one of the Fratto daughters, I have my reasons for not answering. I am sorry.

I found your foot/hand joke amusing.

Dear Reynaldo,

I do not believe John Rainone has stature in the Outfit. For unknown reasons, I believe Rainone has a relationship with Fratto. If that is what you call stature in the Outfit, I disagree with your classification. Rainone has stature with Fratto. I realize Rainone’s father once accused Fratto of attempting to murder him, which is bizarre. From what I do understand, John Rainone does not hold a grudge of any kind against Fratto and Fratto does not have resentment toward the younger Rainone. If you want details, you will have to ask them, as I am unaware of the intricacies of their relationship.

Mr. Fratto, one last thing:

I wish to remind you that you may file a libel claim against KTF Media Group and me if you feel that I have published anything that is false. If you win your lawsuit, you can rely on the courts power to order me to remove the alleged libelous information. However, we both know that I am telling the truth and you will not win such lawsuit. Good luck with your options. If you act on the option to murder me, please make sure that you strongly consider the consequences and refrain from creating bigger problems for everyone involved, especially me. And remember, killing me will not shut down KTF Media Group and its articles. Thank you.

jonjon
I researched some information for you because you caught my interest on several of your posts.
Stature of the Outfit? Fratto girls and their husbands? Gianone-Rainone?
Rainone’s last arrest involved another individual name Vincent Forliano.This happens to be the ex-husband of Rudy’s daughter(name unknown).Don’t you think he may be the guy everyone needs to worry about? Why is he not in jail for being a 4bit burglar,if he was arrested with the famous Mario.Could it be,he is the Donnie Brasco working to get these individuals.Rudy? Mario? Or can this be the guy who is playing the part as the quiet guy and going to seek revenge? Also if Fratto was supposed to take out Rainone(Mario)why would John have any association to Fratto?What makes you think John beefed on Mario?Who is Giannone? I love puzzles just trying to put all the pieces together.

joe
Based on your posts, I started to suspect you may be dealing with all of this grief and fear because of what you say and do.
I mean,I do not think one should ever fear of their life and families life to be seized for any one reason.I believe that the Lord makes those decisions and only the Lord.
I am very sorry that you have endured such pain and I am sure your father is also.I also found it very intersting to learn of Rudy’s wife going blind,she really won’t see him anymore.
I am very ignorant to all of this,my comments are soley posted based on opinion and I would never defend an Outfit victim.
I appreciate you writing back.

Dear Revenge,

Might I remind you, the murder threat against me was affirmed on January 27, 20210, by Rudy Fratto, Jr.

Thank you

Dear Readers,

I was having lunch today with some associates that were theorizing on why the Marcello brothers (Jimmy and Mickey) have been transferred back to Chicago several weeks ago, where they remain. In a bizarre twist, it would appear to some that a deal could be in the works. What could this mean for some Outfit members that remain free?

Will the Marcello’s cause a Family Secrets II?

Some rumors that are going around the Chicago area in defense of why the Marcello’s have returned to Chicago are as follows:

1) They are back in Chicago awaiting word on their appeal.
2) They are back because it is easier for their family to visit.

Readers, the two rumors I have mentioned above are ridiculous. The federal Bureau of Prisons does not move prisoners for either of those reasons.

Something to consider.

Dear Santa,

Your theory on young bosses seems logical. However, Chicago had a number of young bosses over the years that did hold up. Some of them were, Al Capone, Paul Ricca, Sam Giancana, Anthony (Joe) Accardo and Sam Battaglia. Sure, these people are as old as dirt now (and dead); however, when they initially reached the position of boss, they were very young – none of them were known to beef.

I would agree, the Outfit has diminished quite a bit after the Family Secrets trial and the recent indictment of Mike Sarno. And, I agree, if DiFronzo (which I am not sure he will – I suspect he could be a double agent and has been one since he returned from prison in the 1990’s), Andriacchi and a few others are indicted, the Outfit will be on its last three toes. However, in the wings will be scores of young foolish men that will see it as an opportunity to enterprise. Anyone can commit murder; therefore, I do not believe a Family Secrets II case will totally solve the problem. On the contrary, once the government puts away the last few remaining people that have been keeping things quiet in Chicago, some young people will likely rush in and make a great deal of naive decisions involving violence, therefore causing unnecessary mayhem at level much higher than we have seen in the past 15-years.

Thank you for your readership.

Dear Reynaldo,

Do you know the Marcello’s personally? I do not. This is why I merely raise a question. I have a hard time predicting the actions of my friends and family, I would not even think of predicting the actions of someone I do not know.

I understand that Mickey has a short period to serve. I agree that it would be illogical for him to flip in relation to his situation.

Are you suggesting that Jimmy Marcello would rather run the Outfit behind bars the rest of his life, apposed to retiring with his millions and living his life free of prison? If so, I disagree with you.

In fact, Outfit bosses do not keep their positions while imprisoned.

I believe it is very likely Jimmy is flipping. And I believe it is just as likely that Mickey would do everything he could to aid his brother, such as corroborating various assertions.

Putting aside your predictions and my suspicions, we will get to the truth soon enough.

Thank you for your readership.

…I.E., I don’t think James is going to be flipping any time soon.

Dear LH,

Think about this:

Jimmy Marcello is serving life. Nick Calabrese testified that DiFronzo was involved in the Spilotro murders. However, the U.S. Attorney’s Office failed to corroborate it with a makeshift witness, as they are capable of doing, i.e., the stupid babble called testimony by Michelle Spilotro, therefore, keeping DiFronzo from being indicted. Now, Jimmy Marcello could believe that DiFronzo is a double agent, as I believe he is. That being said, I think it is likely Jimmy Marcello could have decided that his freedom is more important than the group of creeps that are considered Outfit guys.

Joe,

Aren’t James Marcello’s sons involved in Outfit business, as well as nephews and cousins? Unless they have marketable job skills or college educations, Little Jimmy would be destroying their livelihoods for the foreseeable future.

Marcello’s father was a murdered juice collector. Supposedly he is scholar of American Organized Crime history. He knows how informants are generally regarded.

Why would the government want to go after an octogenarian (difronzo) when they caught a pretty big fish with marcello. joe, i’m starting to agree with you that they gave difronzo a pass because of his age.

what could marcello give them that they would care about?

Do you know anything of Jimmy Marcello’s character? Is he as ruthless as the US Government made him out to be, or is he assumed to be ruthless because of his status as “street” (front) boss?

(My 12:39 comment pertains specifically to James Marcello.)

There was a Vince Forliano arrested with Mario Rainone last year in relation to those felony burglaries in Lincolnshire. Forliano is Rudy Fratto’s ex-son-in-law.

There is also an elder Forliano (Thomas) that used to have some connections to the Rainone’s, as well as the Outfit.

jonjon
I reviewed your post and also researched information for you via public records.You obviously have not been very thorough on your research.I recently read an article about Mario’s sentancing for accepting food while incarcerated.He also plead guilty to his most recent arrest with Vincent Forliano.The records for Forliano state that he recently had court and received, once again,a continuance.
What I do know via public records is at the time of the arrest in Addison for the Lincolnshire Burglary,Rainone’s property was that of the search warrant,not Forliano’s.That draws some suspicion to think that Forliano may be the double-agent.
I also viewed the records that of the son,John and I find your information not to be current.John plead guilty and recently served a sentence for a blow-out in Downer’s Grove that involved a weapon.If John pleads guilty and served his time,what reason would he have to beef on his famous father.

This Gianone character, a hitman? I think the handsome dark skinned Stalone may be hitting the broads at Scores,rather than taking the jobs.It one article that I reviewed states Gianone as a book-maker,who claims to cause one to become arthritic when it rains.Basically it sounds like he will break your bones.I am sure the threatened individual moved to a drier climate,so he would be safe.
The most bizarre twist to the whole question,is how these so called gangsters marry the daughters of gangsters.
Thomas Forliano has been out of the limelight probably soaking up the sun somewhere warm with his tanned wife,daughter of Mr.Aleman and the son of Forliano marries the daughter of Rudy Fratto.
My opinion on that of Vincent Forliano is somewhat of a man of desperation.He has hatred and resentment for his ex-father-in-law and is a feeding tube to the FBI.
I also think that he purposely made burglaries with Rainone,as a set-up.Why would one jeopardize being in site,with a man that has a reputation of being a beefer.Solely to set him up.Do you follow me or am I being insensitive.An opinion is our right,records are that of factual information.
You also need to share your sources,other than opinions.I’d rather your info be ,a bit more conclusive.

Does anyone know anything of Jimmy Marcello’s character? Is he as ruthless as the US Government made him out to be, or is he assumed to be ruthless because of his status as “street” (front) boss? Can a first-hand source attest to any of thug-like behavior? Was James ever an enforcer, or did he go straight from being Carlisi’s wheelman to Capo or Underboss because of his wits? I’m wondering because I live very close to the house in Lombard where James Marcello sued to live and where his wife, I believe still does. Has anyone ever met Marcello?

wait a minute: this was written the day after that other article

Forliano, Thomas
DOB: 10-01-1949
Criminal History: IR#181267; FBI#512 749G

Forliano is a well-known name, jonjon. The information I included here is from a book about the Outfit published over 10 years ago. Vince Forliano has been included in news stories quite a bit in the last year or so.

jonjon,

The book is “War of the Godfathers” (978-0804108317) by W.F. Roemer, JR.

Roemer is the most decorated FBI agent in history and was head of the FBI’s Top Hoodlum Program in Chicago.

This particular book of his is a work of fiction but is based on real-life Chicago and New York mobsters. It’s actually not that interesting. And when it was published, a lot of people were expecting it to be a nonfiction mob exposé, so it never got popular. That’s too bad because in the back of the book is some very useful information from the FBI (compliments of FOIA), as well as the Chicago Crime Commission.

In the back (Appendix B) there’s an excerpt from the Chicago Crime Commission’s “Hood’s Who’s Who in Organized Crime in Metropolitan Chicago”, ca. 1990).

It includes federal mugshots that are normally not available to the public, as well as surveillance photos. (There’s one of an early-forties James Marcello sporting a mustache and sunglasses, and another of Williw Messino wearing Buddy Holly eyeglasses.) It’s definitely worth checking out just as a reference book.

Dear Brian,
I have talked to a dear friend of mine today that knows Jimmy Marcello well. My friend told me that Jimmy is a man, meaning no one to push around. Ruthless was not the word my friend used but I received the impression that he can handle himself. I did not receive any tough guy stories about Jimmy. Surely, Jimmy’s closeness with Carlisi was a big help to him.

Dear Mr. Fosco:

One of your readers who identified himself as “Sting” made an ostentatious and very irresponsible (perhaps libelous) comment on this thread on January 28, 2010 at 12:46 pm.

Joe, you know as I well as I do that characterizing the Outfit as being an analog of the “forces of evil” is ridiculous. A far more fitting metaphor would be likening the Chicago Mob to Tolkien’s “Orcs” or perhaps even the “Uruk-hai”, which are, of course, the breed of especially strong and vicious trolls capable of surviving sunlight.

Furthermore, equating John DiFronzo with a Balrog is preposterous, as DiFronzo is a mafia leader—NOT a mere enforcer or henchman. Asserting that “John DiFronzo = The Eye of Suaron” (the Red Eye, the Evil Eye, or even the Lidless Eye) would be much more accurate.

My point here is that the Chicago Outfit is just one species of evil beings that is COMPRISED by the “Forces of Evil “, proper. Likewise, John DiFronzo is the principal antagonist of Chicagoans and suburbanites in the exact same way that Sauron is the principal antagonist of the peaceful inhabitants of Middle Earth.

Mr. Fosco: I call for you and your readership to IGNORE the lunatic and asinine ramblings of “Sting.”

Now, to get back on topic: If James Marcello does turn state’s evidence and takes down the current hierarchy of the Chicago Mob, I can’t help but think that the remaining gangsters will react to their new leader the same way that the food foraging herbivorous apes reacted to the black monolith* that they encounter in the film, 2001: A Space Odyssey. What I mean is that these apes reacted by shrieking and jumping about because they were confused and frustrated.

*Please be advised that the dimensions of the monolith are (in the precise ratio) 1:4:9–the squares of the first three integers. Such ratios are often a matter of interest in sacred geometry.

Dear Nostrils,

Yes, Tom Folrliano’s son, Vince (Rudy Fratto’s former son-in-law, is divorced from Janell Fratto – Rudy’s oldest daughter), was arrested on the same case as Mario Rainone. In fact, I saw Mario in court briefly last fall – I appeared in front of U.S. District Judge Harry D. Leinenweber on my now former lawsuit against the Outfit, and Mario was in front of him with his attorney Sam Aamirante (serial killer John Gacy’s former attorney, and former Cook County Judge). I think Mario was trying to be moved from one jail to another. I had the distinct experience of bumping in to John Rainone in the hallway that morning; he was there to see his father. Johnny told me “you have more balls than anyone I know” for filing the lawsuit against the Outfit. I thanked him but told him that I am afraid.

I do not know for sure, but Tommy Forliano might have known Mario Rainone from many years back.

Fat Sarno will never be a pimple on Johnny Difronzo’s a**, even if DiFronzo is a double agent.

Dear Tratt,

I have a better one for you. Did the appeals court overturn Difronzo’s conviction because of DiFronzo’s cooperation? Was it all smoke and mirrors?

The 7th Circuit Court of Appeals will not give any of the defendants on the Family Secrets case a fair shake – never. DiFronzo’s appeal was heard on the west coast. If it were in the 7th Circuit, Difronzo’s conviction would have been affirmed, unless he really is a double agent.

Dear Joe Fosco,

Since you are friends with the Forliano’s.Is Vincent Forliano serving his sentence for the burglaries? If not,what kind of time will he get?Isn’t this is 5th time getting caught for burglaries?

Dear Revenge,

I never indicated that I maintain friendships with the Forliano’s. I met them a few times. However, Vince is not incarcerated at this time. I believe he is looking at 4-7 years whenever he disposes of the case, which should be in the next couple of months.

JF,

JF, do you work for the FBI? Where do you get your information? I am currently using the internet and numerous search engines as a tool.I find it to be very current and up to date.Is there anything better?
How would this Forliano even be able to get a sentence so light of 4-7yrs anyway? Isn’t this his fifth arrest for burgalry? Sounds to me like this vince guy likes prison,maybe he get’s to get is produce delivered to him to like Mario.
How much time will Rainone do this time?

Note:

The last line should read:

“HIS info might be of no use ” (sorry)

Dear Yank,

No, I do not work for the FBI. However, I do a lot of their work for them, thru KTF Media Group. When I write my book, which will cover a great deal more than what I leak thru KTF, everyone will think I work for the FBI, because I know things that I should not know.

Forliano will get a 4-7 year sentence. I do not think 4-7 years is light. I think one year and a day is light.

I believe Mario received 7.5 years and continues to face a minimum of 15-years on the gun charge. Whether he does any time on the gun charge remains to be seen. Unlike state court, the feds allow 3rd party deals. Meaning, if you are in a federal prison doing time, you can have your brother set up someone of interest to the government in deal to be freed or receive a lesser sentence. I believe that is what will happen with Mario. The question is who will the rat be?

I mean, are you sure its a min of 25-years?

JF,
I agree with you.I would not like to spend 5 minutes much less.I can never understand why someone who has served more then a day would even want to go back.Only they would be the one to tell us that.I can’t wait to read your book.It will certainly be good.

Joe,

Here’s a question that I’ve been meaning to ask you for a while.

Seeing as you have a source, I’m wondering if you could succeed in doing something that the FBI, CCC, and media outlets have consistently failed to do accurately or effectively since the beginning of time. I’m talking about describing current Outfit leadership.

Here’s what I understand it to be:

J. DiFronzo (Boss); P. DiFronzo (Underboss/Courier);

??? (“Consigliere”)

J. Devita (Gambling boss);

J. Andriacchi (Elmwood Park)
J. Mattassa (Rush St.)
M. D’Amico (Melrose Park)
M. Sarno (Cicero)
F. Caruso Jr. (Chinatown)
??? (Chicago Heights)

Two names that constantly come up are Joseph “Joe Kong” Cullotta and Jimmy Cozzo—I have no idea who they are, do you? If so, are they leaders?

Where does Mike Magnifichi fit into this?

Also, I’m wondering about formerly imprisoned “made” guys like Sal DeLaurentis (Solly D). Are guys like him active anymore, or not? Al Tornabene seemed to come out of retirement to help the Outfit’s street activities when Marcello went away, so I’m wondering if any of these other old-timers will do the same when/if John DiFronzo passes away or goes to prison.

Finally Joe,
When the DiFronzo’s die or go to prison (and with James Marcello in prison and Joe Andriacchi very sick), who do you suspect could be on the short-list for Boss and Underboss?

Thanks.

Joe,
Who is Scott M. Burnstein anyway? He has compiled his very own Chicago mob list on a web site called realdealmafia.
Boss: John D.
Underboss: Joe A.
Consigliere: He still has Alphonse T. as the acting consigliere even though he passed away.

Captains:
South: Frank C.
North: Joe A. (same as underboss)
West: Joe C.
Rush: John M.
Melrose: Marco D.
Elmwood: Rudy F.

Joe, is this an accurate list? Also, I noticed that one of the soldiers listed is “Leo Mags.” Is he related to your boy “Mikey Mags?” If so, was he ever big time? Thanks.

Dear Malarky,

Fuck you.

Sincerely,

A Low Life Loser, Wanna-Be Mafioso

PS: http://menorama.blogspot.com/2010/02/whatever-it-is-youre-planning-to.html?zx=5d7e234e33eea5ad

Dear Tratt,

I have to inform you that Tony Spilotro was not sent to Vegas by the Outfit. In addition, Spilotro was working independent from the Outfit while he was stationed in Vegas. The problem was everyone and their mother assumed he was running things for the Outfit. He may have told people he was running things for the Outfit the same way Rudy Fratto has for many years. Because Spilotro was believed to be working for the Outfit, everything he did in Vegas heated up the Outfit, which ultimately contributed to the Aiuppa/Cerone indictment and conviction. I believe we know the rest.

Jack P. Cerone, Esquire (son of late Outfit boss) and his son John C. Cerone (aka little Jackie) are not very well liked in Chicago (and they do not report hard facts via the internet – wink). Old man Cerone was a tyrent. He ruled with an iron fist and he was a big drinker. His sponsor, Tony Cap was the same way. Jack rarely allowed his guys around him make money. In fact most of them made the bulk of their money after he went to prison in the mid 1980′s. Rudy is one of the few people around Jack that has failed financially.

Yes, Rudy has done a big job of pretending to be a top Outfit boss for several years. It amazed me how many people believed him. And probably still do. Yes, the heavies are not happy with him. We see how the heavies dealt with such behavior when Tony Spilotro was doing it. Lucky for Rudy, today the heavies are more paranoid.

Dear Cheez,

I will work on a chart for you – perhaps I will have something in the near future. As to your chart, DeVita is pretty much retired today. I know I have indicated that he is still heavy, however, some of my sources assured me that my facts are a little dated with respect to DeVita. He remains a solid force, however, DeVita has slowed down a great deal in recent years. Andriacchi is out of it all together (he is happier being out). And I will shed light on the others in my chart. Joey Kong was nothing but a collector working for Joey DeVita.

As for a short list of future bosses, I have no idea who is on the list.

Dear King,

I do not believe I heard of Scott Burnstein.

As to his list, Joe Andriacchi is out of it all together. He has Lee Magnafichi’s first name spelled incorrectly. Lee is the late father of Michael Magnafichi. Lee was a Capo. I will touch on the other guys when I do my chart in the near future.

Pardon my misspelling of the word ‘tyrant’ in my 12:17 am comment, it is a typo.

Dear Cheez,

You are correct about everything, except the Rudy Fratto part. First, Joe Andriacchi is out of it all together, he spends a good deal of his time on the east coast with his daughter. And, Rudy will never fill the position Andriacchi once held, which was under boss (day-to-day boss – Andriacchi has been out of that position for several years). Cicero runs everything (with the thought in mind that DiFronzo is free to give orders to them if he wishes).

If Rudy is a free man after Andriacchi passes on, Rudy will certainly pretend that he took over an imaginary position within the Outfit. Rudy has been pulling such stunts like that for many years. His greatest line is, ‘my older friends told me to…’. Fratto imply’s that he is referring to DiFronzo and Andriacchi, when he is probably thinking of the hobo’s he has coffee with at White Castle in the morning.

If DiFronzo tells “the Large Guy” (Sarno) to jump, he jumps–is that what you’re telling us? Who else is considered “Cicero”? Mickey Marcello?

Also, do you know if Solly D is still active?

(I was just reading that in the 1980′s he retained John Gotti’s attorney, Bruce Cutler, is represent him in his Chicago RICO case.)

Dear Readers,

Someone recently asked me (in person) why Fratto had it in for me over the years. My answer, jealousy. Not jealous of me. But jealous of some of the people I was close to over the years. Fratto was jealous of the late Willie Messino because of his tough guy reputation – Willie and I were close friends. Fratto was jealous of Buddy Ciotti because of the large income Buddy had for many years – Buddy and I were close friends. Fratto was jealous of Michael Magnafichi for many reasons, Michael’s looks, his money (when he was making big money), his closeness to Fratto’s ‘older friends’ and his ability to be well liked. Fratto is a very jealous person. Because I was close with the three individuals that I mentioned, coupled with the fact that I never made an attempt to pay Fratto any respect when I would see him, Fratto resented me. Therefore, when Cerone initially targeted me for money in 2002, Fratto was more than happy to help him. In 2003 when I briefly told Fratto ‘no more money’, Fratto began spreading malicious rumors about me. In additon, according to the FBI, an Outfit hit was issued against me. Since that time, Fratto has put my family and me thru Hell and back.

Dear Ric,

My source has informed me of Difronzo’s turning their back on Fratto. In fact, Rudy mentioned it himself recently, last weekend when he reached a friend of mine asking him to persuade me to take down the articles I have authored about him. In addition, I know the DiFronzo’s would turn on anyone that has engaged is the stupid and reckless behavior that is associated with Rudy’s IRS case. Fratto is wanted dead because Difronzo’s now know Fratto was extorting people as a gangster, which is why he was paid all the money he decided not to pay taxes on. The reason Fratto was not charged with extortion is because his victims are too afraid to inform on him – the victims covered for him by misleading the feds, saying Fratto earned the money. Fratto’s ‘older friends’ helped him intimidate these people, probably without knowing it, then. Fratto is lucky, he will probably not get killed because of the attention on everyone right now.

Magnafichi is to the Outfit what Marlon Brando was to acting. Michael is smart. Michael figured it out like only few gangster have ever done. He was never under the influence of the Outfit. The Outfit is a mind game, the member believes his boss is his God. Michael is too smart for that. In other words, Michael honestly did not care enough about the Outfit and its members to maintain good standing – just like Brando as an actor.

Michael helped me understand that gangsters are as human as you and me. We are capable of doing anything they can do. Wake up Italian Americans, the Outfit is nothing but a gang like the Latin Kings. They are scum bags. better yourself and join the side of right.

hey queer ball
i always wanted to know why anyone would ever want to stick it in someones hole that shits?
Shit dick should be your name
you disguting confused scum bag

Dear Ric,

Rudy met my friend in person last weekend. However, I merely talked to my friend on the phone, I did not meet with him in person. Therefore, I cannot accept the compliment of having brass. Although I would have met with him in person, but the phone was much more convenient.

Our mutual friend thinks Rudy is going to flip as well. I never liked predicting who is going to flip. Sometimes the ones you think will flip do not flip and the ones you think will hold up flip.

Rudy was ‘made’ because his mother, Dottie, was close to Lee Magnafichi and Joey Andriacchi and begged them to ‘make’ her son because he always wanted to be a gangster. I know this sounds like a joke, trust me, it is the truth. In addition, Rudy was recognized to have a special ability with electronics, which was later used for bomb detonation. I would have to include Rudy’s family background with the Outfit, which made everyone feel comfortable letting Rudy in.

Jack P. Cerone, Esquire, and Rudy Fratto were a match made for each other. Jack, a real millionaire, wanted to be a gangster for many years but could not achieve such goal. Rudy, a real gangster, wanted to be wealthy for many years but could not achieve such goal. Put both of them together and you have a partnership that contains both elements of their dreams. I am very serious about waht I am saying. I am not joking.

Joe:
That 12:22 p.m. comment was not made by me, obviously. Malarky is trying to confuse you and your readers.

Malarky,

If you’re accusing Joe of posting his own comments under various pseudonyms, I’ll have you know that just over a week ago KTF celebrated its one-millionth reader.

Go grind your axe elsewhere.

Dear Real Ric,

Thank you for clarifying we have an imposture.

Dear Cheez,

As badly as I would like to be open with you, I refuse to perpetuate Fratto’s unlawful actions, drawing attention to the very falsehoods he has espoused over the years, bringing further harm to my reputation.

Actually I thought Jeanine was involved or married to Vince Forliano.

Joe I wonder if Rudy will be attending the annual superbowl trip to Las Vegas with his wealthy relative Terry, golf pro emeritus and head golf pro from a certain club in western suburbs and other wannabees in tow.

Dear Riddler,

I believe the commenter might be referring to the late Frank Fratto, who would be roughly 95-years old today (brother of the late Rudolph Sr), as ‘one ear’. I have no clue about ‘cockeyed’.

Man, this stuff about Cerone on all fours, lifting his leg to piss like a dog is pretty out there. It’s f*cking weird.

How would this person know that?

Joe, is Cerone known to be into unorthodox sex stuff? Is it true that he got his ass handed to him by a bunch of Syrians?

Joe, are you and your staff going to try to verify those comments? Wow. Those were some quite interesting comments! It seems is if things were a bit shaken at KTF Media group, am I right?

Ironic, isn’t it, that Fratto accused you of having questionable feelings for children, yet here we have Mr/s. “!” declaring that Fratto sexually abused his oldest daughter!

(I understand that this is just an allegation.)

Dear Joe,

A more accurate conclusion to your 2:53 would have made specific mention of dog-like urination, after your mention of “dog walking.”

The whole dog walking thing is hilarious.

Joe did DiFronzo love his son who died of an overdose of drugs? Is is steroid nephew involved in the Outfit?

Dear Buddy,

At this time KTF Media group is not going to investigate the allegations asserted by ‘!’. Perhaps in the future KTF will write an article on some of the information presented by ‘!’. At that time, KTF would investigate.

Fratto and others like him, apparently enjoy making serious (and unsubstantiated) claims of sex crimes against others. I take no part in that.

Joe, if “!” is credible, then I don’t think it’s unreasonable to believe even the more serious claims of abuse, murder, JCJ pretending he’s a doggy (woof woof!).

Is your readership increasing in the wake of your confrontation with Fratto? I’m sure the Outfit is now aware of this site.

Joe, I hope you found the role-playing thing to be humorous. I hope JCJ didn’t try to take a plop while he was pretending to be a doggy.

Dear Interested,

Whether ‘!’ is correct or not with his or her allegations that Cerone behaves like a messy dog in heat, I am sure that all of us will have him in mind every time we walk our dogs, unfortunately.

KTF’s viewership has almost tripled thanks to the Fratto family. A friend of mine informed me that Fratto spoke to a lawyer recently to discuss his options in dealing with KTF Media Group. Unfortunately, the attorney advised Fratto to do nothing. If Fratto does file, which I doubt he will, such a lawsuit would only drive KTF’s viewership even higher. For the record, it is not my goal to be sued. If it were my goal, I would print false information and I would focus on people that are not against filing lawsuits.

(lifts leg, pees)
“Aaaawoooooooooooo!”

(panting)

Dear !,

We want more
Thank you

How do you respond to the allegation that you don’t have a wife, Joe Fosco?

Dear Coo-ma-do,

Several years ago, I was having dinner at the old Horwath’s Restaurant in Elmwood Park, Illinois, with someone that I will always love very much, we were with a few other people and I heard the phrase coo-ma-do for the first time. Do you know what it means?

Dear Taylor Street,

The Chicago Outfit has a long-standing reputation for not supporting drug dealing. However, over the years some Outfit affiliates have engaged in the sale of drugs.

The Outfits partnership with Dr. Joseph L. Giacchino, Jr, MD and his evil enterprise called Melrose Park Clinic, has provided something to consider in truly answering your question.

joe – if rudy reads that stuff about sexual abuse, HE’LL HIT THE CEILING!

also, i think that if consulted with a lawyer about how to deal with ktf magazine it kid of shows that the death threat is empty. i think you may have beat him!

are you going to publish anymore articles about rudy?

Dear Cring,

I have no sympathy for Rudy – if he hits the ceiling that is his problem. A killer like him should not be bothered by words.

Let us pray his death threat is empty. However, making empty threats is as illegal as making real threats. Bank robbers that use fake guns as weapons are charged with armed robbery as if the gun were real. I would hate to think Rudy consulted a lawyer for immediate results because it might take a while to catch up to me – since he knows I am expecting him.

Now, I am not inspired to write a new article about Rudy. Feeding this thread with nice people like you seems to be draining such inspiration – I have no regrets. It would take a rather significant revelation for me to find the inspiration needed to write something.

Joe,

I’m still honestly puzzled as to why Warmbir, Kass, etc. would completely ignore you. Kass not really, because he’s more of a story-ist and loves to write those types of columns, but Warmbir even has a blog on Sun Times and your RICO case never even made it on there, despite coverage of Fratto. These guys do not give you much credit, but they seem credible themselves. Why?

Thanks

Dear Anon,

Thanks to the World Wide Web KTF Media Group does not have to pray for support from its competition.

You are correct; Chicago’s Dynamic Duo – Warmbir and Kass, did not mention my RICO case. However, the once third largest media mogul in the world – a man who hobnobbed with Barbara Walters, Peter Jennings, Martha Stewart, Queen Elizabeth, Donald Trump and Henry Kissinger (to name a few people) – was decent enough to mention my ‘legal initiative’ in an article originally published via the National Review Online (this can easily be verified on the internet – KTF has published its version as well). In case you do not know, I was referring to Lord Black of Crossharbour – former owner of Mr. Warmbir’s place of employment.

Thanks are to God the United States Supreme Court is expected to overturn the wrongful fraud convictions of Conrad Black sometime this year. Google the subject – you can see for yourself that legal analysts around the globe are saying the same thing – Conrad will win.

I cannot answer your question about Warmbir and Kass, as I cannot speak for the Dynamic Duo.

Dear Nick,

Thank you for your kind words.

For your information, Kass and Warmbir really are mice in the media world. And, I am a mini-mouse, for now. I need Kass and Warmbir like I need another death threat made against me. I do admire Kass, but I could live without him, as I have been doing right along.

Here is a better piece yet: http://online.wsj.com/article/BT-CO-20091208-710586.html

Dear Crime,

If there were one doctor on this planet that would consider issuing such a prescription it would definitely be Dr. Joseph L. Giacchino, Jr, MD. However, I do not believe that is the case in the alleged Cerone matter. In fact, I do not want to discuss anything on this matter because it has not been substantiated as true.

The Cerone family is far too arrogant to spend their time reading anything that I would write. However, I believe Judge Cerone-Marisie is the only exception. Not because she lacks arrogance, but because she values her job as judge and wants to seek reelection in 2012. She is aware that I have made valid assertions in some of my articles against her position as judge. Her former opponents are also aware of my valid assertions. While she will insist that I have an ax to grind in an attempt to discredit me, the assertions I have made are real.

When a caller dials 9-1-1, the caller is not investigated to determine if he or she has an ax to grind with the suspect, the police are dispatched and the suspect is questioned. If the caller has been honest, the suspect is arrested regardless of the caller’s motive to dial 9-1-1. The individuals that I write about want the readers to pay no attention to me because I might have an ax to grind. News flash, almost every whistle blower has an ax to grind. If the courts stopped listening to whistle blowers the courts would have a lot more free time.

Uh, would you care to provide an explanation as to your behavior in the matter of the night club harassment of Mr. Cerone in the State of A-R-I-Z-O-N-A???

Actually, you have to cut and paste the link above (Cerone’s Testimony). The link is so long that you cannot click on it.

The first sentence in my 12:35 comment was directed to ‘Crime’. Sorry that I forgot to include that.

The mob is through in Chicago. Joe Fosco is living proof!

Hi Joe
When you heard the word coo-ma-do at Horwaths were you sitting with a married friend of yours who was ignoring his wife and talking to a younger lady? I heard it there but im not sure what it means. It reminds me of old friends and good times.

Dear Canine,

Jackie did not exhibit any k-9 behavior in Arizona.

Dear Horrendous,

I have no reason to suspect that Gary Gags is unavailable to Johnny DiFronzo, and/or Joey A, although, Joey A is clearly out of the rackets all together.

I do not know of the DiFronzo’s of Elmhurst, what are the first names?

DiFronzo and Magnafichi are both Catholic.

joe,

i’m doing an outfit scrapbook for publication. i’m trying to track down baby pictures of joe difronzo. do you have any pictures of joe difronzo.

(ps., joe difronzo got busted for pot.)

Dear Anon,

You may cut and paste the enclosed link to read an article that sheds a little light on Warmbir and Kass not giving me attention.

The link/url might be too long to click it, as I said, you may have to cut and paste it.

Dear Coo-ma-do,

Yes, same day. I had forgotten the subject until you reminded me. Thank you.

I assume the email address you have provided to KTF is valid, if so, perhaps I will send you an email, in a more private setting.

Dear Jimmy,

I believe Rudy was maintaining some contact with the celebrity relative during the game show phase the stared on. I do not have a current status for you, unfortunately. I do know that in 2004 or 2005, Rudy was going thru one of my contacts in attempt to reach R. Kelly (when his criminal case was pending) on behalf of a much younger relative of his that was aspiring to be a rap singer. I did all I could do to thwart his attempts and believe that I have succeeded. Giving the extortion and threats Rudy participated in against me, I was not going to allow him to benefit further thru my connections.

Dear Buddy,

I had nothing against the young singer. I never met him. Of course, Rudy would have armed the young artist, which is why I made sure my contact would not inadvertently perpetuate an additional extortion situation.

Can someone tell me who “Singing Joe” Vento is?

Also, I’m sick and tired of checking this site and seeing Nick Gio questions.

You need your own YouTube channel, KTF Media Group! You’ll reach a wider audience and draw more attention to your cause(s). I’m not saying that you ditch the blog, but the YouTube channel could be a way to augment your media project.

Please consider it!

Joe -

I actually went back and read that you previously met with Kass to share some of your information. I am not sure if there was more than one meeting. Can you enlighten on what you may have shared with him (I assume just to suggest he write in his column the number of claims you have been making in your columns on this site). Do you still communicate with him and do you know who his sources are regarding the Outfit? In your opinion, how accurate is he? He writes a lot about DeLeo as well (D-How You Doin’, as he says).

Also (completely different subject) have you ever read the book “Busted” by Adam Resnick? It is about a gambling addict in Chicago and mentions a certain “State Senator” involved in illegal gambling, although not by name.

Funny how widespread these rumors are about specific elected officials, yet Chicago mainstream media refuses to investigate. Maybe Chuck Goudie can follow them around and see where they have lunch for a month…

Thanks

Dear Mint,

We have been considering a YouTube program for quite some time. Perhaps your nudge is what is needed to push us to get it done. Thanks.

Dear Readers,

Please let us know if you would be willing to visit KTF on YouTube if we decide to start a video program. Thank you.

If Dr. Giacchino is in cohoots with the Outfit why did he introduce you to Kass?

Joe,

I would definitely go and watch your YouTube channel.

The one drawback I foresee would be if you don’t want OC figures knowing what you look like, you’d have to think of a way to alter your appearance or some clever way of concealing what you look like.

Also, YouTube would probably give you a wider audience and there’d be no way of keeping up with the comments. That said, if I were you I’d try to keep this website (KTF Media Group) as the main forum where reader questions can be asked and answered.

That’s just my 2-cents.

Joe, can you give us description of how your most recent death threat was relayed to you? I know you probably won’t say who told you. But, I’m wondering how it happened.

Did someone call up and say: “Yeah, sorry man, but their going to try to kill you again”?

How would your source know about this plot anyway?

I saw Rudy at a sporting event within the last couple of years. Don’t know if it was a son, nephew, or friend with him. All I can tell you is Rudy is one of the most immature human beings I have ever witnessed. On top of this he is no tough guy!

Dear Steve,

I am not surprised by your findings. You were likely at a hockey game. You are correct, Rudy does not seem like a tough guy, however, and it does not take a tough guy to pull a trigger.

Mike Sarno could be the next boss, as he runs Cicero, currently. Correct? I can’t who else would want the job because typically bosses end up in the can.

Sarno is pretty young by Outfit standards.

Your 12:40 post is very interesting. Do you mean, Sarno is “the boss” of Cicero, or Sarno is “the boss” of the whole enchilada (that is, the Outfit)? In the case of the latter, are you saying that Sarno was Andriacchi’s successor? Where does James Marcello fit into all of this?

Weren’t the Marcello’s based out of Cicero? Also, who is higher on the totem pole: James Marcello (prior to his incarceration) or Mike Sarno?

Dear Boris,

I would say the power went from Andriacchi to Marcello to Sarno. Yes, Cicero is the controlling crew, of the entire Outfit. DiFronzo made this possible.

The point I was trying to make in the first part of my last post is that it’s puzzling that there was no mention of Sarno at all by Marcello.

When Mickey (Marcello) gets out of prison, will he have to fight it out with Sarno over control of Cicero–assuming that Sarno isn’t in prison–or will he just take over? It is my understanding that the Marcello name is a little more esteemed than that of “Sarno.”

Is Mickey Marcello made? He was listed as the #1 threat against the safety of Calabrese. (#2 was Toots Caruso.)

Dear Magik,

Sarno and Solly are not only unqualified candidates but they both unworthy as well.

Dear Boris,

Solly does a lot of running for Sarno.

RE: my comment at 12:56 pm on 2/9/10

Dear Boris,

I wish to correct my earlier comment. The day-to-day power after Andriacchi went to Johnny “Apes” Monteleone, after that to Marcello and now Sarno. If there were interim bosses in between, I simply lost track. However, the names I have provided are solid.

Why does DiFronzo have any power over these individuals? Literally, where does his power come from? “Respect” isn’t a valid answer. Does he pay them? Does he pay the politicians or police in their areas? Seems that’s all what the Outfit is about, so it must be about cash DiFronzo provides, right?

Joe

Mock Fratto all you want, but the movie Godfather III was based on his criminal life: the deals, the hits, the double-crosses, and the power plays that reached from Chicago to Hollywood to New York.

DIFronzo will undoubtedly care for Fratto’s family while Fratto is in the can–when he comes out, I wouldn’t be surprise if he was boss, or underboss, or had a seat on the commission.

Dear Lonnie,

I am not sure how to elaborate further – Rudy is the kind of person that resorts to spending money when seeking romance. Look at his photograph, what woman would be motivated to engage in romantic encounters with Rudy Fratto, Jr, unless financial incentives were on the table. Do you not believe a gangster is capable of infidelity?

It is interesting that you took it upon yourself to single out DuPage County when looking up Kim Fratto for shoplifting (unless I mentioned DuPage County). You are correct; Kim’s name no longer appears in the court records. The two shoplifting arrests that I am aware of were discharged and the arrests were expunged. That is why you cannot find the records. Successful defense attorney Rick Kayne defended Kim. Rick is a former high-ranking Assistant States Attorney in DuPage County. He is capable of landing great deals for his clients thru his former office, the DuPage County States Attorney’s Office.

Be advised, I have sources that have corroborated that Kim is a shoplifter. Thank you.

Dear Lonnie,

Being poor are no excuse to violate the law. Her church would provide light bulbs and bread if she had pleaded her case to the Church.

Her last shoplifting case that I am aware of occurred at a store similar to Wal-Mart. I believe it was nearly $200.00 in items that she tried steeling. That would be a lot of bread and light bulbs; of course, I do not have a list of the items.

Keep in mind, while Kim was steeling nearly $200.00 of items, Rudy was cashing checks from his bank account at Midwest Bank for thousands of dollars, according to the bank records that I have. Yes, I have Fratto’s bank records. I subpoenaed his records when I was suing him.

The Ma Barker epithet (as you call it) is really a legitimate comparison – Kim smokes cigars, like Barker, steels and associates with other criminals, like her husband.

Dear Frito,

Thank you for reminding me to comment on the DiFronzo will take care of Fratto statement. I agree with you Frito. The only way Fratto will get money out of DiFranzo is by robbing him.

Dear Inqu,

My guess is that the Fratto’s spent their loot as fast as they made it on pleasurable things, not thinking once about educating their children first. Before we bettered ourselves as a society, we used to call such irresponsibility ‘nigger rich’ (I do not condone or promote racial slurs – the use of the word ‘nigger’ was for educational purposes – we as a society have changed for the better. If I have offended anyone, please accept my explanation and apology). Thank you.

Dear Blob,

I forgot about her travel exchange business. I assumed she was no longer doing it after I heard her tell the judge Rudy is the only breadwinner in the house. If she is still in the business, maybe the court should be aware of her dishonesty. Perhaps a contempt charge would be in order – seeing she was not under oath a perjury charge would probably not apply.

Mary Ann Mungo told me she bought a 10-thousand dollar package a few years ago from Kim for her and her two kids to go to Mexico. After arriving, Mary Ann realized that Kim probably made a 7-thousand dollar commission. Perhaps the IRS should sneak a quick peek in to Blue Skies.

Dear Tony,

Little Jackie to me means the gangsters grandson. I do not know anything about this California situation. I believe the two would make a good match (Jackie and J. Fratto). Neither has seemed to disengage from the ancient history of their infamous families – glorification. I will look in to it to see what I can find. Thank you.

Please keep the correct threads addressed.

Dear Bob,

I believe that is the Johnnie Fratto you are talking about – I hope little Jackie brought his leash.

Joe with regard to your 1:26am post. I enjoy your site though as of late t seems to become something of a bully pulpit o some days. But all in all it is decent Joe. Curious why you decided to start beating down on Johnny Fratto, did he do something to you? Do you know him? I do, rather well and much of his family some decent people though I am not a fan of Rudy either nor do I believe he is. But they are family. Johnny is a very decent guy who never tries to act as if he is outfit and is the first one to admit he is not nor does he wish to be a gangster. Maybe people are jealous because he is rich and makes money doing something other chasing outfit dreams. Does he make a few bucks on his families history in the outfit? Sure he does but he is not out scamming people and killing and robbing and I will tell you has NO Hollywood crew. I know the LA crew or what’s left of them. I assume Tony and Bob has a grudge against Johnny for some reason but am guessing they don’t even know him in fact. As for even the thought of Jackie coming out here to join his non existent crew? Ridiculous and that is what tells me Tony and Bob have no clue. Jackie is without doubt a goof big time. In fact I was there the night he got his nut split open by the Kings and deserved it. They would have killed him if they had the chance. I know them well. But why must you jump on the band wagon busting on a guy who did nothing to you guys. Yeah he knows who you are and even has said he has no reason to begrudge you. He does not glorify outfit at all though it is glorified on this site. Just the simple fact you prop some guys up and brea others down. Jackie is a goof, Johnny is not, you can’t compare the two. How do I qualify to say anything on here? I know more about being o the street than must of he guys on here. I spent my while lie out there. Those who know don’t need to bust on there people to validate what they know. You seem like a decent guy Je who is ding what he’s gotta do to survive. Don’t lower yourself to the standards of many goofs on here.

Good Fortune Joe

Dear Regular,

I do not appreciate when people such as Johnny Fratto glorify the infamous reputations of deceased family members. There is nothing to be proud of in having relatives that have committed crimes. If I have offended you, I am sorry. I do not know Johnny Fratto, nor do I need to know him to write what I have written about him. I have no doubt that Johnny is a decent man in many ways. However, the YouTube video’s that I have watched do not show his decent side. He glorifies the entire Outfit lifestyle.
Perhaps I am missing something. Is he making fun of the lifestyle? If so, I would have an entirely different impression of him. Right now, I think his videos are goofy.

Joe
Thanks for replying to my post. You did not offend me whatsoever. I think Seeker has it correct. Johnny more often than not makes fun of the whole thing and some though not all family members. For better or worse he is loyal to his family as I am sure so are you. Just as you intend to make a buck on writing a book bout the outfit in the future so does Johnny just give people what they seek, entertainment. Though I cannot say for certain I believe he views his cousin in the same light as many contributors to your site do and in some ways much as you do. ‘Smoke and mirrors’ and making a buck is what matters in Hollywood Joe just as what you have in your pocket or what you kick up to the greedy pigs upstairs determines you status and standing in outfit life. You don’t make a buck here Joe? Should anyone with nefarious family members or boyhood friends be judged and relegated to ridicule and contempt prior to investigation? If so Joe then guys like you and I should stand ready to be judged. If that’s the case let’s call it what it is and each other what we are.
Maybe we will have simultaneous book signings?

Dear Seeker,
If Johnny is doing an impression of Rudy, then perhaps I have misunderstood the footage I have watched. If he were not genuinely promoting the gangster culture, I would apologize to him for inadvertently being offensive.

http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com/2010/03/reputed-mobster-charged-with-rigging-bids-at-mccormick-place.html

Raise your glass Joe! Salut! Here’s hoping Rudy gets “a hundred years”.

The more I read about this Fratto story, the more I realize that everything youve been saying about Cleveland, Cerone, and everything is 100% accurate.

So, Rudy is a bragger and showboat?

I’m confused. Is he a murderer as well as evading taxes?

John Kass says this is the beginning of a “tsunami” of charges coming against the Outfit.

Interesting.

Kass also says DiFronzo has gone “underground” though from what I’ve read he can be found nearly every day at the same restaurant, so I don’t know if that qualifies as “underground.”

Dear Jennifer,

I will be writing an article very soon, on Rudy, addressing the new charges. I have not started it yet. I will start it this evening.

Joe where is my Nick Gio article?? Who the hell was John Castaldo??

Joe,

I apologize in advance for reverting back to my old handle. I was just reminiscing about the good old days when I used to spar with Harlem Playboy in the KTF Media threads. Speaking of Harlem Playboy, I thought of him when I came across the following quote:

“Galioto is described by Federal sources as an associate of such mob heavyweights as Nicholas Gio, Frank Schweihs, Louis Daddano, William Daddano, and other charted members within the Outfit.”

Gio a heavyweight? What do you think about that?

Anyway, here the rest of the article: http://americanfraud.com/jamesmarcello.aspx

One time you mentioned you were planning on an article focusing on one of the Daddonos and his involvement with Nick Gio. Do you still plan on writing that one?

Take care, Joe.
