The FBI using Scarpa during investigations into KKK violence in Mississippi is still one of the crazier parts of his story. It’s also why By Any Means caught my attention. The movie takes that history and builds a thriller around the FBI turning to a mob informant when the normal approach isn’t getting results.That raises the part I’m most curious about. How far could the FBI let someone like Scarpa go before using him became worse than the problem they were trying to solve?
Do you think the FBI crossed that line with Scarpa?

I watched it because Michael Franzese recommended it. I really liked it a lot. I was also very surprised that half the cast of The Sopranos appeared in this movie. For those of you who’ve seen the movie and know it better: Was Sammy the Bull portrayed well in the movie? I didn’t know Sammy was supposed to have been such a big earner.

I’ve been watching ''Mobland", which got me wondering: what does the British organized crime scene look like these days? Which groups are the most powerful? Aside from drug trafficking, what are the sources of income, and how does British organized crime differ from that in the United States?

Today I’m publishing Part Two of my three-part series on Henry “Boom Boom” Grecco and the Cleveland mob underworld. After disappearing on May 29, 1977, Grecco quickly became the focus of a murder investigation that led police from a bloodstained Toyota in Twinsburg to his remains in Hudson.
Part Two looks at the eyewitness who saw the aftermath of Grecco’s shooting, the evidence that led investigators to the culprit, and the falling out police believed had motivated the killing. By the end, however, a second and much larger explanation begins to emerge from FBI files.
Names and Places mentioned in Part Two: Henry “Boom Boom” Grecco, Nancy Spehar, John Nardi, James Paolucci, Dominick Bartone, Bob Cermak, Shorty Rivers, Andrew Vanyo, Joseph Bonarrigo, Allie Calabrese, Glenn Pauley, Kenneth Argie, Mario Durrant, Pasquale “Butchie” Cisternino, the Italian-American Citizens Club, Collinwood, and Guerino’s Restaurant.
Lastly, a warning that this post contains a black and white photo of human remains provided by the Cleveland Police Museum.
