Is the home poker forum really the place to post a story about an "illegal gambling, sports betting and loan sharking enterprise controlled by the Luchese Organized Crime Family." I'm not too sure that many of the hosts here can relate to this.

They have to get rid of the Italian mobsters who are getting in the way of the mobsters that run our country.

Whoa. I call one of these indicted people all the time to ask where the newest game in town is being played.. I should probably not call his cell number for a while unless I want to get on some watch list..

sort of related but not completely... if someone just runs a poker game in NYC they aren't breaking the law are they? I heard its an easy business to start since u dont go to jail and just start up somewhere else if busted

Good Luck.

I don't think it is much new news to poker players, this isn't about a change in the handling of poker games in nyc. It is more of interest to people here who play since a lot of these guys have been around in the scene for a long time.
