General Fear City: NY vs The Mafia

[mysticmac]

I just watched this docu series on Netflix about how the government put together the case that took down the five crime families in NY. I thought it was really good. Has anyone else watched it?

yeah, I might watch but I have an inkling how they did it

they make up a bunch of complicated laws only the momo’s who made the laws know how to understand them and just make the penalties 700 years for each offense and charge them with 750 counts of each 700 year term and lo and behold they talk!!!!!!

what a genius idea!!!!

Interesting

New York will never sleep without fear as long as the biggest and baddest crime family along with its goons still free to cause havoc...

Looks cool but did they really take down the mafia?

I haven’t checked a second of it (plan on doing it) but it could be another showcase to glorify rudi giuliani.

They convicted something like 30 of them across the five families. This included all of the bosses and other high level guys.

I’ve read enough books on this era and it’s so far a good watch

the story is sticking to its roots

the one thing they failed to mention is that the maid used to scream “meester Paul, oh meester Paul” as he was fucking her in the White House.

Also, I didn’t know she was that attractive even in an 80s pic

then 60 other guys came up and replaced them and business remained strong.

So the jury foreman/woman smiled at the prosecution as if to say “yes, we fixed it for you”
What a load of bullshit.
The case was fixed
