Podcast appearances and mentions of genovese family

In today's episode, we wrap up one of the most detailed and historically rich series we've ever done. In Part Three of our special deep dive into the FBI's 1967 report on La Cosa Nostra, we close the book on an era where the mob's influence was at its peak across the United States.This final installment takes us beyond New York's Five Families and paints a broader picture of organized crime's national footprint — from the power struggles within familiar crime families to lesser-known but highly active Mafia outposts across the country.Read the full FBI report for yourself: https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=113324

The Genovese crime family is one of the "Five Families" that dominate organized crime in New York City and are part of the nationwide criminal syndicate known as the American Mafia. Often considered the most powerful and secretive of the Five Families, the Genovese family has a long history dating back to the early 20th century.Origins and Leadership:Early History: The family was originally founded by Giuseppe "Joe the Boss" Masseria in the 1910s. After Masseria's death in 1931 during the Castellammarese War, control passed to Charles "Lucky" Luciano, who reorganized the American Mafia into the structure it has today, with the Genovese family becoming one of the key pillars.Vito Genovese: The family is named after Vito Genovese, who took control in the late 1950s. Under his leadership, the family expanded its influence and became involved in a wide range of criminal activities, including narcotics trafficking, extortion, loan sharking, and labor racketeering.Structure and Operations:Organizational Structure: The Genovese family operates with a hierarchical structure typical of Mafia families, with a boss at the top, followed by underbosses, capos (captains), and soldiers. Associates work for the family but are not full members.Territory and Influence: The family's operations are primarily based in New York City, but they also have significant influence in other areas, including New Jersey, Florida, and Las Vegas. They have been involved in infiltrating legitimate businesses, particularly in the construction and labor industries.Criminal Activities:Racketeering and Extortion: The Genovese family has been deeply involved in extortion and loan sharking, using violence and intimidation to collect debts and maintain control over various industries.Labor Unions: They have historically exerted control over labor unions, using their influence to manipulate contracts, embezzle funds, and control labor markets.Drug Trafficking: While historically less involved in drug trafficking compared to other families, the Genovese family has still participated in the narcotics trade, often using intermediaries to distance themselves from the operations.Decline and Current Status:Law Enforcement Pressure: Over the years, the Genovese family has been targeted by numerous law enforcement operations, leading to the arrest and conviction of many high-ranking members. Despite these setbacks, the family remains influential and continues to operate.Current Leadership: The current leadership of the Genovese family is less well-known, as the family has adapted to increased law enforcement scrutiny by maintaining a lower profile and operating more discreetly.The Genovese crime family remains a powerful entity within the American Mafia, known for its secrecy and resilience despite decades of law enforcement efforts to dismantle it(commercial at 8:14)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

RITA GIGANTE - HEALER PSYCHIC & MEDIUM DAUGHTER OF NEW YORK MAFIA BOSS VINCENT "THE CHIN" GIGANTE RITA GIGANTE LIFE WITH THE "CHIN" Rita is an acclaimed author, healer, and psychic, who connects with her “Spirit Crew” on a journey to the answers that you have been waiting for. This show is filled with love, laughter, and a provocative tell-all about how to live your life authentically and abundantly. Plus a cameo appearance, channeled by Rita, of Vincent and Olympia Gigante! ABOUT THE "CHIN" For nearly 30 years, reputed Genovese Family crime boss Vincent Gigante pretended to be mentally ill to avoid prison. And it almost worked. An old man wandering around in his pajamas, a bathrobe, and a ratty pair of house slippers muttering nonsense to nobody in particular is a fairly typical sight in New York City, but Vincent Gigante was anything but typical. Partly because he wandered the streets of Greenwich Village in an elaborate performance of insanity, Mafia boss Vincent “The Chin” Gigante eluded prosecution for decades as a supposedly unstable and incompetent man. From Wikipedia Vincent Louis Gigante - March 29, 1928 – December 19, 2005), also known as "The Chin", was an American mobster who was boss of the Genovese crime family in New York City from 1981 to 2005. Gigante started out as a professional boxer who fought in 25 matches between 1944 and 1947. He then started working as a Mafia enforcer for what was then the Luciano crime family, forerunner of the Genovese family. Gigante was one of five brothers. Three of them, Mario, Pasquale, and Ralph, followed him into the Mafia. Only one brother, Louis, stayed out of the crime family, instead becoming a Catholic priest.[1] Gigante was the shooter in the failed assassination of longtime Luciano boss Frank Costello in 1957. In 1959, he was sentenced to seven years in prison for drug trafficking, and after sharing a prison cell with Costello's rival, Vito Genovese, Gigante became a caporegime overseeing his own crew of Genovese soldiers and associates based in Greenwich Village. Gigante quickly rose to power during the 1960s and 1970s. In 1981 he became the family's boss, while Anthony "Fat Tony" Salerno served as front boss during the first half of the 1980s. He also ordered the failed murder attempt of Gambino crime family boss John Gotti in 1986. With the arrest and conviction of Gotti and various Gambino family members in 1992, Gigante was recognized as the most powerful crime boss in the United States. For about 30 years, Gigante feigned insanity in an effort to throw law enforcement off his trail. Dubbed "The Oddfather" and "The Enigma in the Bathrobe" by the media, Gigante often wandered the streets of Greenwich Village in his bathrobe and slippers, mumbling incoherently to himself. He was indicted on federal racketeering charges in 1990, but was determined to be mentally unfit to stand trial. In 1997, he was tried and convicted of racketeering and conspiracy, and sentenced to 12 years in prison. Facing obstruction of justice charges in 2003, he pleaded guilty and admitted that his supposed insanity was an elaborate effort to avoid prosecution, as he was sentenced to an additional three years in prison. He died in the United States Medical Center for Federal Prisoners on December 19, 2005.

On Episode 50, We delve into the History of the Genovese Family's New Jersey faction, a sub-group within the family that would go on to include some of their most powerful members, they were deeply embedded in the family's history from the beginning, getting their start under early boss Joe Masseria, but it was members like Willie Moretti, Richie Boiardo, and Gerardo Catena, that showed that the faction  really had some weight in the family, and they paved the way for future New Jersey heavyweights, like Bobby Manna, Tino Fiumara, Salvatore DeVita, and Louis Gatto, who would turn the state into a gold mine for the Genovese's, I hope everyone enjoys today's show and tunes back in next week for Episode 51PLEASE give us a follow on our socials-Instagram and Twitter: @theblackhandpodSources:Background Music:Music: Dark Flashes by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.comIntro Music:Music: Void Glider by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.comIntro audio sources:Lufthansa clip belongs to The Fox Corporation“New York City is a warzone” clip belongs to CBS Broadcasting Inc.Joey Gallo and “Leave by violence” clip belongs to the American Broadcasting CompanySupport the show
