Proofs that 'Sam' was a Wise guy creature

Only a Wise Guy creature would want to spread malicious lies about me.

Sam Giancana
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Salvatore "Momo" Giancana ((born Salvatore Giangana) June 15, 1908 —
June 19, 1975) was a famous Italian-American mobster and boss of the
Chicago Outfit from 1956-66. Among his nicknames were, "Momo,"
"Mooney," "Sam the Cigar" and "Sam Flood."

Early life

Born as Salvatore Giangana to Sicilian immigrants in Little Italy,
Chicago, also known as "The Patch". His father, Salvatore Giangana,
operated a pushcart and later briefly owned an Italian ice shop, which
was later firebombed by gangland rivals of his son. It has been
alleged by relatives that Giancana's father would have become
legitimately wealthy had he not always been forced to bail his eldest
son out of prison.

Criminal career

Sam Giancana joined the 42 Gang, a juvenile street crew answering to
political boss Joseph Esposito (mobster).[1] He soon developed a
reputation for being an excellent getaway driver, a high earner and
vicious killer. After Esposito's murder, which Giancana was allegedly
involved in, the 42 Gang was transformed into a de facto extension of
the Chicago Outfit. Giancana's leadership qualities and knack for
making money on the street gained him the notice of Outfit higher ups
like Francesco "Frank 'The Enforcer' Nitti" Nitto and Felice "Paul
'The Waiter' Ricca" DeLucia.

Rise to Power

After serving a term in the Illinois Prison System, from where he told
his children he was away "at college," Giancana made a name for
himself by forcefully staging a take-over of Chicago's
African-American bookmaker's, supposedly, nickel-ante, pay-out games
for "The Outfit." Giancana's crew is believed to have been responsible
for the murder of Teddy Roe, an African-American mob boss from
Chicago's South Side. Roe had allegedly refused to give over his stake
in the games that Giancana had demanded and had also fatally shot a
member of Giancana's crew.

When the money started rolling in after this Southside gambling war,
the amount that this nickel-ante game had produced for The Outfit was
staggering and brought Giancana further notice. It is believed to have
been a major factor in his being anointed as The Outfit's new boss
when Antonio "Tony," "Joe Batters," "The Big Tuna" Accardo retired
from being the front Outfit boss, in 1957. However, it was generally
understood that Accardo and another veteran of the Capone era, Paul
Ricca, still held the real power. Giancana had to consult them on all
major business transactions, especially assassinations.

Giancana was purported to have been present at the mafia's 1957
Apalachin Meeting, in upstate New York."

Alleged Intelligence Connections

It is widely reputed and partially exposed in the Church Committee
Hearings that Giancana and other mobsters had been recruited by the
CIA during the Kennedy administration to assassinate Cuban dictator
Fidel Castro, who had taken power in January 1959. Giancana was
himself reported to have said that the CIA and the Outfit are
"different sides of the same coin." (Giancana, Sam and Chuck. Double
Cross: The Explosive, inside Story of the Mobster Who Controlled
America. New York: Warner Books, 1992. ISBN 0-446-51624-4, page 215)

The association between Giancana and JFK is indicated in the infamous
"Exner File", written by Judith Campbell Exner. Exner was reputed to
be mistress to both Giancana and JFK. and some allege she may have
delivered communication between the two regarding Fidel Castro[2].

However, Sam's daughter, Antoinette Giancana, has stated her belief
that her father was running a scam in order to pocket millions of
dollars in CIA funding.[3]

According to the recently-declassified CIA "Family Jewels" documents,
Giancana and Miami Syndicate leader Santos Trafficante were contacted
in September 1960, about the possibility of an assassination attempt
by a go-between from the CIA, Robert Maheu, after Maheu had contacted
Filippo "Johnny 'Johnny Handsome' Roselli" Sacco, an Outfit member in
Las Vegas and Giancana's number-two man. Maheu had presented himself
as a representative of numerous international business firms in Cuba
that were being expropriated by Castro. He offered $150,000 for the
"removal" of Castro through this operation (the documents suggest that
Roselli, Giancana nor Trafficante accepted any sort of payments for
the job). According to the files, it was Giancana who suggested using
a series of poison pills that could be used to doctor Castro's food
and drink. These pills were given by the CIA to Giancana's nominee
Juan Orta, whom Giancana presented as being a corrupt official in the
new Cuban government, and who had access to Castro. After a series of
six attempts to introduce the poison into Castro's food, Orta abruptly
demanded to be let out of the mission, handing over the job to
another, unnamed participant. Later, a second attempt was mounted
through Giancana and Trafficante using Dr. Anthony Verona, the leader
of the Cuban Exile Junta, who had, according to Trafficante, become
"disaffected with the apparent ineffectual progress of the Junta".
Verona requested $10,000 in expenses and $1,000 worth of
communications equipment. However, it is unclear how far the second
attempt went, as the entire program was cancelled shortly thereafter
due to the launching of the Bay of Pigs invasion. [4] [5] [6]

At the same time, Giancana, according to the "Family Jewels",
approached Maheu to bug the room of his then-mistress Phyllis McGuire,
whom he suspected of having an affair with comedian Dan Rowan.
Although documents suggest Maheu acquiesced, the bug was not planted
due to the arrest of the agent tasked with planting the device.
According to the documents, Robert Kennedy moved to block the
prosecution of the agent and of Maheu, who was soon linked to the
bugging attempt, at the CIA's request. [7] [8]

Downfall

Giancana's behavior was too high profile for the Outfit's taste, and
attracted far too much federal scrutiny. He also refused to cut his
underlings in on his lavish profits from offshore casinos in Iran and
Central America. Both of these factors resulted in much bitterness
among the Outfit's rank and file.

As a result, Giancana was deposed as day-to-day boss by the still in
control Accardo and replaced by Joseph "Joey Doves" Aiuppa. After
about seven years of exile inside a lavish villa in Cuernavaca,
Mexico, Giancana was arrested by Mexican authorities and deported
unceremoniously back to the United States.

Murder Victim

Shortly after returning to Chicago, Giancana was shot in the back of
the head on 19 June 1975 while frying Italian sausage and peppers in
the basement of his home in Oak Park, Illinois. After falling, his
body was turned over and shot a further six times in the face and
chin. It was believed by investigators that his murderer was a close
friend whom he had let into the house. At the time he was scheduled to
appear before a Senate committee investigating CIA and Outfit
collusion in plots to assassinate Fidel Castro.

Some have alleged that the CIA was responsible for the shooting as
Giancana had a somewhat troubled history with the agency. However,
former CIA Director William Colby has been quoted as saying, "We had
nothing to do with it."

Most investigators believe that Joey Aiuppa, Giancana's onetime friend
and successor as Chicago Outfit boss, was responible for ordering the
hit on the disgraced former Godfather.

Giancana had reportedly continued in his refusal to share the profits
from his offshore gambling operations and was also scheming about how
to regain his former post as boss. According to former Outfit
associate Michael J. Corbitt, Aiuppa seized control of Giancana's
casinos in the aftermath of the murder, strategically sharing them
with his capos.

It is widely believed that longtime friend and associate Dominick
"Butch" Blasi was Giancana's assassin. Other Outfit suspects are Harry
Aleman, Charles "Chuckie" English, and Anthony Spilotro.

Giancana was interred next to his wife Angelina in a family mausoleum
at Mount Carmel Cemetery (Hillside) in Hillside, Illinois.

Trivia
Sam Giancana was arrested more than 70 times in his life and
imprisoned only twice. Giancana's nickname "Momo" was derived from the
slang term "Mooney" (which meant "crazy") as the teenaged Giancana had
a reputation for unpredictably violent behavior."

I dunno. It was sort of on topic.

Here's that 1957 Conclave Meetin' you shoulda wiki citated on to give
Sam Giancana the historic like event respect he deserves:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apalachin_Meeting
Apalachin Meetin'


From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Apalachin Meeting was a historic summit of the American mafia held
on November 14, 1957 at the home of mobster Joseph "Joe the Barber"
Barbara in Apalachin, New York.

It was attended by roughly 100 mafia crime bosses from the United
States, Canada and Italy. Expensive cars with license plates from
around the country aroused the curiosity of the local and state law
enforcement, who raided the meeting, causing mafiosi to flee into the
woods and the surrounding area of the Apalachin estate. Over 60
underworld bosses were detained and indicted due to the disastrous
meetin'.

The direct and most significant outcome of the Apalachin meeting was
that it helped to confirm the existence of a National Crime Syndicate,
which some - including J. Edgar Hoover, head of the Federal Bureau of
Investigations - had long refused to acknowledge.[1]"

There. Now your *analogue* Story is fuckin' completed, morons.

I suppose one could argue that a post on American organised crime was
off-topic on this august newsgroup, though there are, no doubt, some
contrary folk who would take an opposing view.

I side with Fredric Rice on the issue of topicality on alt. newsgroups.
'Those who can, filter - those who can't, complain' to paraphrase George
Bernard Shaw.

But it's interesting to look at the reverse metamorphosis of the poster you
suggest should be reported for 'illegal and inappropriate use of a
newsgroup'. This person has used many different posting identities, all of
them colourful and interesting, my favourite being 'Gilbert Roland (sponge
diver)' and goes all the way back to the master swordsman himself.
