In this episode of Crime Time, Inc., we delve into the intriguing world of the Irish Mob through the eyes of John Shea, a former mobster who was part of Whitey Bulger's notorious crew. Shea's story offers a unique blueprint of the Irish Mob's rise and fall, shedding light on their operations, code, and ultimate dismantling. From growing up in the crime-flourishing environment of South Boston to being drawn into the mob life through boxing and drug dealing, Shea's journey is one of power, loyalty, and internal conflict.Shea recounts his recruitment into Bulger's inner circle by Steve Flemming, his role in the drug trade, and the tight-knit yet power-struggled dynamics within the crew. The episode highlights Bulger's ruthless intelligence, Flemming's brutality, and the hyper-focused business structure that set the Irish Mob apart from other organized crime groups like the Italian Mafia. It also discusses the corrupt relationships between the mob and law enforcement, including FBI agents John Connolly and John Morris.Shea's story takes a dark turn with tales of violence, debt collection, and the strict code of silence that ultimately led to the mob's downfall as informants, including Bulger and Flemming, shattered trust leading to widespread arrests and convictions. Despite serving 12 years in prison and facing severe consequences for his loyalty, Shea turned his life around, becoming a union construction worker and author.This episode not only delves into the operational intricacies of the Irish Mob but also explores the human side of organized crime through Shea's raw and honest reflections. It's a powerful narrative of crime, loyalty, betrayal, and redemption, offering valuable insights into the complexities of those involved and the transformative power of change.00:00 Introduction to John Shea and the Irish Mob00:27 Shea's Early Life in South Boston00:49 Rising Through the Ranks: From Boxing to Drug Dealing01:17 Nicknames and the Mob Family01:33 Working with Whitey Bulger and Steve Flemming02:01 Drug Trade and Power Struggles03:43 The Code of Silence and Loyalty04:09 Shea's Loyalty Tested by Bulger05:16 Shea's Life After Prison08:01 Corruption in Law Enforcement09:12 Bulger's Downfall and Shea's Reflections11:35 Shea's Insights on Organized Crime15:52 Conclusion: Redemption and Lessons Learned Hosted on Acast.

New York Times Bestselling Author T.J. English joins Scott to do a deep dive on Jimmy Coonan and the infamous Irish American gang in New York City known as the "Westies."

In the chaos of 1970's New York, it took a lot to shock the city. But the Westies managed to leave quite the impression. Dubbed the last of the Irish mob despite being more like an anarchic gang, they terrorized the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood of Manhattan, garnering headlines due to their penchant for daytime hits and chopping up their victims bodies.  They even managed to attract the attention of New York's five mafia families, who took notice of their numerous hits and started contracting out to them. In less than a decade though, things would get a little too messy, and they would tear themselves apart.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Whitey Bulger ran one of the most ruthless and violent Irish gangs in Boston in the 1970s, 80s, and 90s. How did he hold onto his power for so long? The FBI protected him. Yet, this business arrangement would ultimately lead to his demise.

From the 1930s to the 1950s, Irish altar-boy turned gangster Eddie McGrath ruled New York City's West Side waterfront. Not only did he provide union muscle for the International Longshoreman's Association, but he was also involved in dozens of gangland shootings and murders. My guest, Neil G. Clark, is the author of "Dock Boss: Eddie McGrath and the West Side Waterfront". He tells the story of McGrath's violent rise to power as the leader of New York City's Irish Mob and some of the terrible acts he committed to keep it.

In one of the most egregious law enforcement scandals of the last century, the U.S. Government helped to cultivate and empower one of the most notorious murderers of our time. A man who was simultaneously hailed as both a savior and a devil, a protector and an oppressor, James “Whitey” Bulger's story is complex and almost unbelievable. How did just another poor South Boston hoodlum rise to be the King of the Irish Mob, and reign without punishment for 20 years as the bodies piled up around him? How did he manipulate and stay one step ahead of law enforcement even after becoming a fugitive on the FBI's most-wanted list, second only to Osama Bin Laden? Whitey Bulger wasn't your average gangster, but his genius was facilitated by equally criminal men at every level of law enforcement. With their help, Whitey rose to power using violence, money, intelligence, and charisma. Whether it was karma, poetic justice, or a government setup, Whitey met his end violently and in a manner reminiscent of the countless murders he so easily committed.

Today we take a fascinating look into how Whitey Bulger rose to power in Boston's underworld in the 70's and 80's, with not only the FBI's protection, but also their direct help. No one (that we're aware of publicly, at least) benefitted more from the FBI's Top Echelon Informant Program than Irish-American gangster, Whitey Bulger.  Whitey rose through the ranks of Boston's organized crime scene thanks to a combination of cunning, ruthlessness, a little help from his politically connected brother, Billy, and a LOT of help from the FBI. Whitey's top informant status, and the degree to which he corrupted his handler, Special Agent John Connolly, allowed him to get away with murder after murder, and run one criminal racket after another with impunity. For nearly two decades the FBI protected the most dangerous man in Boston in order to take down other people who were far less threatening to the general public. Why? And how did this happen? Bad Magic Charity of the Month: Donating a TBD amount to the Hill Country Humane Society this month.

“Theft is the act of taking another person's property or services without that person's permission or consent with the intent to deprive the rightful owner of it.[1][2][3] The word theft is also used as a synonym or informal shorthand term for some crimes against property, such as larceny, robbery,[1] embezzlement, extortion, blackmail, or receiving stolen property.[2] In some jurisdictions, theft is considered to be synonymous with larceny,[4][5] while in others, theft is defined more narrowly.[6] Someone who carries out an act of theft may be described as a "thief" (pl: thieves).[7]” “Burglary, also called breaking and entering (B&E)[1] and sometimes housebreaking,[2] is the act of illegally entering a building or other areas without permission, typically with the intention of committing a criminal offence. Usually that offence is theft, larceny, robbery, or murder, but most jurisdictions include others within the ambit of burglary. To commit burglary is to burgle,[3] a term back-formed from the word burglar, or to burglarize.[4][3]” I saw similar things: “The newest growth sectors for organized crime are identity theft and online extortion. These activities are troubling because they discourage consumers from using the Internet for e-commerce. E-commerce was supposed to level the playing ground between small and large businesses, but the growth of online organized crime is leading to the opposite effect; large businesses are able to afford more bandwidth (to resist denial-of-service attacks) and superior security. Furthermore, organized crime using the Internet is much harder to trace down for the police (even though they increasingly deploy cybercops) since most police forces and law enforcement agencies operate within a local or national jurisdiction while the Internet makes it easier for criminal organizations to operate across such boundaries without detection. In the past criminal organizations have naturally limited themselves by their need to expand, putting them in competition with each other. This competition, often leading to violence, uses valuable resources such as manpower (either killed or sent to prison), equipment and finances. In the United States, James "Whitey" Bulger, the Irish Mob boss of the Winter Hill Gang in Boston turned informant for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). He used this position to eliminate competition and consolidate power within the city of Boston which led to the imprisonment of several senior organized crime figures including Gennaro Angiulo, underboss of the Patriarca crime family. Infighting sometimes occurs within an organization, such as the Castellamarese war of 1930–31 and the Boston Irish Mob Wars of the 1960s and 1970s. Today criminal organizations are increasingly working together, realizing that it is better to work in cooperation rather than in competition with each other (once again, consolidating power). This has led to the rise of global criminal organizations such as Mara Salvatrucha, 18th Street gang and Barrio Azteca. The American Mafia, in addition to having links with organized crime groups in Italy such as the Camorra, the 'Ndrangheta, Sacra Corona Unita and Sicilian Mafia, has at various times done business with the Irish Mob, Jewish-American organized crime, the Japanese Yakuza, Indian mafia, the Russian mafia, Thief in law and Post-Soviet Organized crime groups, the Chinese Triads, Chinese Tongs and Asian street gangs, Motorcycle Gangs and numerous White, Black and Hispanic prison and street gangs. The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime estimated that organized crime groups held $322 billion in assets in 2005.[197]” --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/support

“All three dark triad traits are conceptually distinct although empirical evidence shows them to be overlapping. They are associated with a callous–manipulative interpersonal style.[9] Narcissism is characterized by grandiosity, pride, egotism, and a lack of empathy.[10] Machiavellianism is characterized by manipulation and exploitation of others, an absence of morality, lack of emotion, and a higher level of self-interest.[11] Psychopathy is characterized by continuous antisocial behavior, impulsivity, selfishness, callous and unemotional traits (CU),[12] and remorselessness.[13]” I had similar experiences in the DMV: “The newest growth sectors for organized crime are identity theft and online extortion.

Today we dig into the origins and the history of America's Irish Mob.  We begin centuries ago in Ireland, when a series of oppressive, discriminatory laws designed to break the backs of the Irish and leave them too powerless to rebel against British rule, followed by the Great Famine that was greatly intensified by these same laws, led to hundreds of thousands of Irish fleeing the Emerald Isle for America to avoid certain death. Impoverished and often malnourished, these new immigrants were met with an increasing amount of anti-Irish sentiment in the United States, and to overcome this, they ended up banding together and working with gangsters and politicians who would help them get jobs and food in exchange for votes. And thus, the Irish mob was born. Cue 150+ years of underworld violence! We cover SO much territory today. A good one for both the true crime and the history lovers.

We're talking with legendary Tulsa Police Detective Mike Huff. Mike investigated the murder of Roger Wheeler in Oklahoma. The investigation led to Whitey Bulger and Boston's infamous Winter Hill Gang. Once Mike started his investigation, bodies started falling. Meanwhile, it became obvious to Mike that corrupt elements within Boston's FBI were protecting Bulger.

Peaky Blinders is an epic centred on a crime family of mixed Irish Catholic and Romani origins based in Birmingham, England, starting in 1919, several months after the end of the First World War in November 1918. It centres on the Peaky Blinders street gang and their ambitious, cunning crime boss Tommy Shelby (Murphy). The gang comes to the attention of Major Chester Campbell (Neill), a detective chief inspector in the Royal Irish Constabulary sent over by Winston Churchill from Belfast, where he had been sent to clean up the city of the Irish Republican Army flying columns, the Communist Party of Great Britain, street gangs, and common criminals.Winston Churchill (played by Andy Nyman in series 1 and Richard McCabe in series 2) charged him with suppressing disorder and uprising in Birmingham and recovering a stolen cache of arms meant to be shipped to Libya. The first series concluded on 3 December 1919—"Black Star Day", the event where the Peaky Blinders plan to take over Billy Kimber's betting pitches at the Worcester Races.The second series has the Peaky Blinders expand their criminal organisation in the "South and North while maintaining a stronghold in their Birmingham heartland." It begins in 1921 and ends with a climax at Epsom racecourse on 31 May 1922, Derby Day.The third series starts and ends in 1924, as it follows Tommy and the gang entering an even more dangerous world as they once again expand, this time internationally. The third series also features Father John Hughes (Paddy Considine), who is involved in an anticommunist organisation; Ruben Oliver (Alexander Siddig), a painter whom Polly enlists to paint her portrait; Russian Grand Duchess Tatiana Petrovna (Gaite Jansen); and Linda Shelby (Kate Phillips), new wife of Arthur.The fourth series begins on Christmas Eve 1925, with the Peaky Blinders getting word that the New York Mafia is coming to avenge the murders they committed the previous season and ends following the general strike of May 1926, with Tommy using Jessie Eden for information and being elected as a Member of Parliament in 1927.The fifth series begins two years later on 29 October 1929 (Black Tuesday) and ends on 7 December 1929, the morning after a rally led by British Union of Fascists leader Sir Oswald Mosley.The sixth series begins on 5 December 1933, as prohibition is repealed in the United States. The Nazi Party has also obtained power in Germany, leading to a growth in membership of the British Union of Fascists. Tommy must not only deal with Mosley but also with plots from the Irish Mob as well as the Anti-Treaty IRA. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

On this week's episode, I discuss Whitey Bulger's reign of terror in Boston. Bulger is one of the most notorious gangsters in history. His story also involves one of the worst cases of corruption in the history of the FBI. Bulger's handler, John Connolly, helped Bulger get away with heinous crimes, including murder, in exchange for information on the Mafia.

*Note: technical difficulties with Sean's microphone this episode, apologies* By the late Seventies Jai Alai, a superfast, racketball-like sport, had become one of the US' most lucrative betting markets. That attracted Roger Wheeler, a mega-rich Tulsa tycoon, to pour millions into the game. It was also riddled with crime. Boston's Irish Mob, led by the bloodthirsty James “Whitey” Bulger, would make a mint skimming its earnings and building an underworld empire off Jai Alai's back. Then Wheeler figured out his latest investment was rotten. Bulger sprang into action, launching a campaign of terror that would claim several lives in gruesome fashion. Eventually, the Jai Alai slayings would bring down drug barons, dirty cops and dozens of New England's biggest gangsters. Ja Alai wouldn't fare much better.

Whitey Bulger was one of America's most notorious mob bosses. He was a violent, sociopath but he accomplished the almost-unimaginable: he got FBI agents to let him kill whomever he wanted. This week, the incredible, mind-blowing story of Bulger and his Winter Hill Gang and how they basically ran the organized crime squad of the FBI and key officers of the Boston Police Force for over a decade.Our guest is the award-winning author and professor of journalism at Boston University—Dick Lehr. A former member of the Spotlight team for the Boston Globe and Pulitzer Prize Finalist in investigative reporting.  Lehr spent over two-decades researching this story with his colleague Gerard O'Neil.   Their  books - 'Whitey: the Life of America's Most Notorious Mob Boss' and 'Black Mass: Whitey Bulger, the FBI and a Devil's Deal' - were made into a major Hollywood movie staring Johnny Depp. And Lehr explains just how Whitey Bulger got -  a license to kill.

On this episode, we discuss the seventy-ninth Best Picture Winner: “THE DEPARTED.”"The Departed is a crime thriller remake of the 2002 Hong Kong film "Infernal Affairs" and is also loosely based on the real-life Boston Winter Hill Gang; the character Colin Sullivan is based on the corrupt FBI agent John Connolly, while the character Frank Costello is based on Irish-American gangster Whitey Bulger.  In the film, South Boston cop Billy Costigan goes under cover to infiltrate the organization of Irish Mob boss Francis "Frank" Costello. At the same time that Costigan is gaining the mobster's trust, Costello has planted career criminal Colin Sullivan as a mole within the Massachusetts State Police. When both sides realize the situation, Sullivan and Costigan each attempt to discover the other's identity before they are found out.  Directed by Martin Scorsese, the film stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Billy Costigan, Matt Damon as Colin Sullivan, Jack Nicholson as Frank Costello, Mark Wahlberg as Dignam, Martin Sheen as Queenan, Ray Winstone as Mr. French, Vera Farmiga as Madolyn, Anthony Anderson as Brown, and Alec Baldwin as Ellerby.Here on The Envelope, we discuss & review every Best Picture Winner in the Academy Awards History. You can reach anyone here at TheEnvelopePodcast.com – Just go there to email us, check our bios, and keep up with the latest episode.

In one of the most egregious law enforcement scandals of the last century, the U.S. Government helped to cultivate and empower one of the most notorious murderers of our time. A man who was simultaneously hailed as both a savior and a devil, a protector and an oppressor, James “Whitey” Bulger’s story is complex and almost unbelievable. How did just another poor South Boston hoodlum rise to be the King of the Irish Mob, and reign without punishment for 20 years as the bodies piled up around him? How did he manipulate and stay one step ahead of law enforcement even after becoming a fugitive on the FBI’s most-wanted list, second only to Osama Bin Laden? Whitey Bulger wasn’t your average gangster, but his genius was facilitated by equally criminal men at every level of law enforcement. With their help, Whitey rose to power using violence, money, intelligence, and charisma. Whether it was karma, poetic justice, or a government setup, Whitey met his end violently and in a manner reminiscent of the countless murders he so easily committed.

On this episode of the Sofa King Podcast, we do some mobster-style true crime and talk about the kingpin of Boston, Whitey Bulger. In the 1970s and 80s, Bulger ran the Winter Hill Gang and was the head of the Irish Mob in the Boston area. This was a title he earned through several wars with the Irish, a deal with the Italians, and a whole lotta bodies. His story was so wild that Martin Scorsese based Jack Nicholson’s character from The Departed on him. Johnny Depp also played him in Black Mass. Whitey was part of MKUltra, supported the Irish Republican Army, and turned his job as an FBI informant on its ear, corrupting the local feds. He managed to escape capture by globe-trotting with his girlfriend for 16 years. Born to two immigrants from Canada, James “Whitey” Bulger was a typical Southie kid from Boston. His father was a longshoreman who lost his arm in an accident and could no longer work. While Whitey’s siblings all did well in school and walked the straight and narrow, he turned to the streets. He was in a gang called the Shamrocks by the age of 14, and in his time with them he was arrested for assault, forgery and armed robbery. Once out of jail, he spent some time in the military but spent as much time in the brig as he did serving his country. At 26 years old, he got arrested for armed robbery while jacking a truck. In prison, he volunteered for the MKUltra project once he found out he’d get paid to take drugs. It didn’t go so well as the LSD took its toll, but eventually he got out. Once free, he found himself in the middle of a war between Irish gangs. He killed the wrong guy, like you do, and escalated things until the Italian mob got involved and settled a peace. This was the birth of the Winter Hill Gang. From there, he raised in the ranks. He did it all. Extortion, theft, armed robbery, murder, anything you can think of that a mafia does, you can bet Whitey did it. Some say his mob was even responsible for the Gardner Museum Heist. Eventually, he became an FBI informant, though he prided himself on serving them weak information in return for favors. In time, he had his two FBI handlers accepting bribes and giving him tips and covering from every crime he committed. In fact, when the entire leadership of the Winter Hill Gang was arrested, Whitey was spared by the FBI and took control of the gang. He ran Boston with a strange code that he had, and he was racist, using terrorist tactics to try and stop desegregation of schools in the 1960s. Eventually, the DEA and local police figured out that the FBI was covering for him, so they build their own case. Whitey’s FBI guys tipped him off, however, and he went on the run for a whopping 16 years. At one point, he even beat Osama Bin Laden on the top 10 most wanted list. So, how did his girlfriend’s boob job help get them caught? Where were they living? How many murders did he get sentenced for? What brutal end did he face at the hands of other mobsters while an old man in jail? How did his own plans to die on the lamb lead to an abandoned mine shaft in Arizona?

Written and researched by Abby Saunders Transcript: Hurstories Script   ABBY: I’m your host, Abby Saunders, ready to tell you all about Frank “Bolo” Dovishaw, his undercover gambling ring, and his unfortunate demise. First thing’s first – have you heard of the mafia? I think that a lot of people stereotype the mafia into a general group… criminals. The mafia is more like a family, though! No, literally. Mafias from around the world are most often run by groups of families, kind of like a ‘family business.’ Just like fathers in the farming industry pass down farming traditions to their sons, fathers in the mafia pass down mafia traditions to their sons. Boys are taught skills specific to running the business, and girls are taught how to be inconspicuous and lay low. Mafia members become like family members. It is not unusual to find men from different families acting brotherly to their business partners. Also, it is not uncommon to kill family members that act up in the Mafia. This idea will pop up later on, so, stay tuned. Just like in other bureaucratic business, there are leaders and followers. Mafias are typically hierarchal, with a general, boss-like position at the top of the chain, and then a bunch of levels below him. Mafias, in some way or another, exist all over the world. The most popular mafias originated in Italy… and more specifically… Sicily. One popular mafia that originated in Sicily and then migrated to the United States is the Cosa Nostra group. This group settled in New York, but then spread to surrounding cities along the Eastern coast of the country. Some major cities in the north east region of the United States where the mafia operates are Buffalo, Pittsburgh, and Cleveland. Interestingly enough, though, the city directly in the middle of all of these 3 cities, Erie Pennsylvania, had no major mafia activity until the 1950s. Even when the mob came to Erie, though, it was slight and almost insignificant compared to the major criminals and con men of the time[1]. Now, since mafias were on the rise in the United States, the federal law enforcement agencies were busy chasing and arresting various leaders from all over the East coast. This happened especially in the 1960s, 70s, and 80s. When a mafia leader is taken out, their section, well, family, may or may not fall. It is very difficult to count how many mafia groups there are in the United States for this reason[2]. Our story starts and ends in Erie, with Frank “Bolo” Dovishaw: one of the most recognized organized crime leaders in Erie, Pennsylvania. Now, you might be wondering why the hell I just explained what mafias are for 2 minutes, even though our main character today was not a member. Here is why: Dovishaw acted as if he were a member of the mafia. But in order for you to see this, you must know what he did to deserve the title: an Erie Goodfella. Picture Erie in the 1950s and 60s. It is a smaller city in the North West corner of Pennsylvania, right next to Lake Erie. There were neighborhoods full of immigrants and past-generation Americans alike, but one neighborhood that stood out was Little Italy. It is located between 12th street and 24th street, with an eastern boundary at Sassafras Street and a western boundary around Cranberry Street. Little Italy is like its own little self-contained town. There were barber shops, stores, churches, schools, and even funeral homes. With all of these good businesses, though, come some pretty illegal ones. There were many criminals in Erie in the 1900s; heck, there still are[3]! Our story starts in 1960 when Frank Dovishaw worked at Dee Cigar Store. On December 10th, 1960, Dovishaw was arrested for burglarizing the store. According to a newspaper article, around $7,000 worth of checks and cash were stolen. Dovishaw had worked at the cigar store for about a year and a half, and he was the main suspect. Although he tried to implicate a couple other individuals, Dovishaw was inevitably found to be the prime burglar. Multiple thousands of dollars’ worth of stolen goods were hidden and buried in a metal box by Dovishaw in St. Mary’s Cemetery. Dovishaw was only 24 years old when this happened[4]. Now, since organized crime was still at a low in Erie, smaller criminals were able to flourish…and then, sometimes, inevitably fall. For example, in 1954, Erie’s mayor, Thomas Flatley, was arrested for corruption, abuse of power, and illegal gambling. After hearing the allegations, he pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy and for violating his oath of office. Flatley later resigned and faced jail time, along with multiple fines[5]. A lot of the early organized crime in Erie dealt with gambling and sports betting. Frank Dovishaw was the go-to guy for this. He had everyone in the city working for him. “In local shops, factories, and pubs throughout the city, old ladies bet pennies, kids traded nickels, and laborers put down dollars on a chance to walk away with the daily take.” Dovishaw and his partner Ray Ferritto conducted their business all around Erie county. They tried to stay out of Little Italy out of fear that their close friends and family members would find out. They had so many individuals wrapped around their fingers and doing their betting, from police officers to children. Ferritto ran number rackets all across the United States, not just in Erie. He was arrested and spent time in prison for it, too! He did time 2,000 miles away from Pennsylvania in a state penitentiary in Chino, California. Ray Ferritto even killed people. There was a “mob war” when the Irish Mob, led by Danny Greene, moved in on a Cleveland mob family. The Cleveland group was run by ‘Jack White’ Licavoli and Angelo ‘Big Ange’ Lonardo.’ Over 40 car bombs were involved in the mob war, but not much success was gained. After some time, the Cleveland mafia asked Ferritto to step in and finish the job against Danny Greene. He finished it. The numbers racket sports betting went on for multiple years with Frank Dovishaw at the head. Thousands of dollars were made, and many Erie residents either gained or lost money throughout this time period. One thing to keep in mind about mafias and mafia-like groups is that the members rarely call the police. If something weird happens, the members just handle it themselves. January 3rd, 1983 started off like any other day. Dovishaw and Ferritto made their usual rounds around the city and took bets. It was a Monday, and the Dallas Cowboys were playing the Minnesota Vikings. Dovishaw always ate meatball subs from Damore’s on Mondays, and that is exactly what he did. Ray Ferritto dropped off Dovishaw at his home on West 21st street around 6pm. When he was home, Dovishaw would always call his employees to gather information about the day. He would never write anything down or leave any messages. If anything was documented, it could be used as evidence. When Dovishaw was not home to answer the phone, multiple other lines in other houses would ring until someone answered the call. So, when Dovishaw got home that Monday evening, he was supposed to make some calls. Around 7pm, Ferritto called Dovishaw to catch up on the night. The phone call went to the next person… and the next person… and the next person; Dovishaw did not answer the multiple calls that Ferritto made to him. Ferritto wondered if he was with one of his “gypsy strippers,” if the police caught him, or if he was just laying low for the night. His curiosity got the best of him because Ferritto ended up driving to Dovishaw’s house to see what was the matter. He knew that the police had been investigating Cosa Nostra for the past few decades, so that was high on the radar for Ferritto.  Ferritto arrived at Dovishaw’s house on West 21st Street. Since the house was his late mother’s, Dovishaw lived alone. Ferritto searched the whole house and ended up in the basement. There, he saw his friend and colleague dead. Dovishaw was bound by his mother’s old dresses, his hands were cut off, and he was shot in the head execution style[6]. Here is the newspaper article that was published on January 5th, 1983: “Frank ‘Bolo’ Dovishaw, reputed head of one of the largest illegal gambling operations in northwestern Pennsylvania, was found shot to death in the basement of his West Side home Tuesday night. Authorities said Dovishaw had been shot once in the head. Police refused comment on the shooting, except to say they were treating it as a homicide. It was believed that Dovishaw’s killer or killers may have fled in his 1979 green Cadillac. As a result, Erie police asked officers in Pennsylvania and nearby states to be on the lookout for the car with Pennsylvania license plate 9U7-469 and hold its occupants for questioning in the death[7]” ABBY: That is all for this episode of Hurstories!

Ya just can't kill 'im, seeee? Or maybe you can, but it'll take a LOT of attempts. Join us this week for a trip to old timey gangster land, where we follow Legs Diamond on his wild career of bootlegging, carousing with showgirls, and getting shot. Many times. SO many times.  Along the way, of course we'll have gangster voices galore, along with a delightful exploration of gang names. And a discussion of a mother-daughter video (soon to be posted on our social media!) that will leave you needing about seven showers.  Don't forget to give us a five star review on Apple Podcasts, where you can tell us your body part + gemstone gangster name. Also, follow us here on Podbean, Stitcher, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. While you're at it, hit us up on our FB group or Twitter to talk Old Timey Crime.

Contract Killer Mad Dog Joe Sullivan - Part 2...In part two of this two-part special, new father, 38-year-old Mad Dog Joe Sullivan soaks up some culture while honeymooning with his wife Gail. He then gets right back into knocking mobsters for "Fat Tony" Salerno and the Genovese family, including Mickey Spillane's top enforcer Tommy “The Greek” Kapatos, and Antonio Caponegro aka “Tony Bananas”. There was also a botched hit on Carmine “Lilo” Galante and a near miss on “Ol' Blue Eyes” himself, Frank Sinatra.In the summer of 1978, Joe met with actor's Jon Voight and Robert Di Niro and directors Hal Ashby and John Hancock to discuss potential film projects.After teaming up with some friends from the disco scene, Joe started sticking up payrolls and jewellery stores for a bit of a lark and some extra cash but ended up committing several murders of accomplices in bungled burglaries, before his last hit on “Johnny Flowers” Fiorino caused his dramatic capture.Become a Bloody Murder Patron (for as little as $1 per month, which you cancel at anytime) and have access to dozens of Patron only episodes (including our whole first season!) with new patron only content added every month!

Contract Killer Mad Dog Joe Sullivan - Part 1...Contract killer “Mad Dog” Joe Sullivan started out life as a good Irish Catholic boy in a squarehead family in Queens. In part one of this two-part special, we cover how the sudden death of Joe's detective father, and the horrendous effect it had on his family broke something inside young Joe. And when Joe broke, he broke bad. Mad Dog Sullivan spent most of his teen years in Juvenile Detention for petty crimes, before graduating to armed robberies and murder. After escaping from Attica maximum security prison, in 1971, Joe hit up made man John Sullivan for a job. Through John, Joe became a contract killer for “Fat Tony” Salerno and the notorious Genovese crime family. He is said to have disposed of Jimmy Hoffa's body for them and murdered two of Mickey Spillane's top gunman Tommy Devaney and "Eddie The Butcher" Cummiskey.Under the tutelage of his murder mentor, George Barone, over the next several years Joe would go on to murder an estimated 30 people.See our website! bloodymurderpodcast.com for all our socal media links, contact details, a gallery, fabulous merchandise (check out our new Bloody Murder SHOES! and now STICKERS and BACKPACKS and DUFFEL BAGS!!) and much much more.Become a Bloody Murder Patron (for as little as $1 per month, which you cancel at anytime) and have access to dozens of Patron only episodes (including our whole first season!) with new patron only content added every month!Go to https://www.patreon.com/bloodymurderAlso Levels $5 and over go into our monthly merchandise draws and get FREE stickers and hand-made Barney Badges!Wanna buy us a drink?

Welcome to the 101st episode of the DeanBlundell.com Podcast with Daren Millard. On today's episode, we welcome the mysterious and amazing Dave Randell aka Dublin Dave. Yes, Dave has come all the way from Ireland to join the boys on his first podcast. Dave dishes on living in Dubin for the past 10-years, the Pembrook LumberKings, raising his kids, fantasy sports and the Irish Mob. The boys analyze an old Toronto Maple Leafs jersey and try to guess who signed it and Dean gets ignored for 10 minutes. Literally, Daren and Dave don't shut up about fantasy. Dean gets VERY triggered. Onto real hockey. The Toronto Maple Leafs traded Nazem Kadri to the Colorado Avalanche for Tyson Barry. The boys discuss that deal, Sebastian Aho's offer sheet, Mitch Marner, the acquisition of Cody Ceci and Jason Spezza. Dean takes a strip off of Eugene Melnyk, it's great. Kawhi Leonard is staying in Toronto. Dean is convinced. No need to panic. No deal is done with an LA franchise. SETTLE DOWN! Marcus Stroman is representing the Toronto Blue Jays at the All-Star game. Dean is furious. Shug McSween wrote a scathing article on DeanBlundell.com. Enjoy! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jeffrey Konvitz was born in New York City, but after graduating from Cornell University and Columbia Law School, he headed to Los Angeles, where he lives and works as an entertainment finance attorney, producer, and novelist. His first published novel was The Sentinel, which rose to Number 2 on the New York Times Mass Market Best Seller List. The Sentinel sequel, The Guardian, was also a bestseller along with his next book, Monster.  This year, his newly-written historical novel, The Circus of Satan, will be published. It is a story of murder and revenge, set during the rise of organized crime in America from 1900 to 1912 when the Irish Mob ruled all major American cities, only to be taken down by its own hubris and the rise of the Jewish and Italian Mobs into labor racketeering and, then, bootlegging. Filled with real events and real heroes and villains, who rampaged from New York's Bowery through to Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City and Boston, it is the story of epic, transformative times and two violent men, who meet on a descent into blood and Hell.

After surviving an ambush, they finally get a pair of names: ‘Irish’ and an assassin named ‘The Witch.’  Their only other lead, a Louis Hudson (who has apparent ties to the Irish Mob) is being coerced into a meeting. Prominence is besieged by the Irish Mob and vigilante justice is the only thing that is standing between them and control of the city.  Can The Olympian and Reverb hold the line, or will the weight of corruption crush them where they stand?   NOTE: This game was recorded live, and as such the recording quality is lower than our norm. We apologize.  PLAYERS Sam – Clarence Young (The Olympian).  Primed to be one of the most-winning medalists of the 2008 Bejing Olympics. His body was in peak physical condition, his mind was ready: but his entire career was about to come crashing down. A victim of Mob scheming and violence, his family was hurt, and he went out for vengeance. Matt – James Rhyne (Reverb).   Got his Masters in Electrical Engineering with a minor in acoustic design.  10 years back, shortly after beginning employment, his father was diagnosed with Huntington’s Disease.  He got himself checked out and found out that he’s also positive for Hereditary Huntington’s.  With nothing to live for and nothing to lose, he decided to take down the mob before he died.
