Black Joe Amato
[caption id="attachment_5005" align="alignleft" width="300"] Solly Di Laurentis[/caption] When we were at the MobWorld Summit 2018, I reconnected with a friend, Rick Adornetto. Rick is retired law enforcement and he spent most of his [caption id="attachment_5006" align="alignright" width="150"] Michael Posner[/caption] career working undercover. In 1978, Rick got hired in a gambling club by Chicago Outfit crew chief, Black Joe Amato. Rick introduced himself as just a guy looking for a job. he was given some cover by a crooked Cook County cop. Rick worked at the Happy Days tavern in Island Lake Illinois for several months. During that time he was able to overhear conversations and watch patrons as they gambled in a back room. Rick also introduced three Illinois department of law enforcement agents in and vouched for them so they were able to gamble. In the final raid officers arrested Lake County mob fixer and gambling boss Michael Posner was arrested along with future Outfit boss, Salvatore "Solly D" V. DeLaurentis. One of the most interesting facts about Black Joe Amato was his appearance in the below now-famous photo of all the Chicago Outfit.     [caption id="attachment_5007" align="alignright" width="300"] The Last Supper[/caption]   Don't forget to listen to Aaron on the Big Dumb Fun Show.

Thanks Gangland Wire, look forward to your work, great job

These tapes of crimes, criminals, gangs, mobs and mob members are so (much fun) intriguing.  Your discussions are so real that it put a person right alongside what has been investigated.  I love the mob stories, and really got into the Berdella story with Troy Cole.  Thanks Gangland Wire, look forward to your work, great job Phil Cochran

Can’t wait for work tomorrow so I can listen to more!

I just discovered your podcast today, I probably listened to about 4 episodes while at work. Can't wait for work tomorrow so I can listen to more. Thank you for sharing your info and doing the research you do. I read a book called when the mob ran Vegas and man I was hooked. I bought the book while in Vegas, so when I went back a couple years later I was pretty excited to check all the spots out. Now after listening to your podcast I'm pretty sure my next trip is going to be Kansas City you definitely have peeked my interest. Looking forward to listening to more. Thank you again
