Come on guys, that is more an Anglo-Saxon swipe at grouping us with our Italian brothers. Bottom line is the Italians are far better at it than us. We are very tough, but mostly when threatened. We don't tend to go all agro, just yell more.

I agree. Greeks aren't very punctual. I can see a Greek being LATE to the mob hit because he stopped by first for a tsigaro and a frappe before he went.

When it comes down to the mafia their is no way you can compete with the Sicilians they were definately it. Greek mafiosi I find funny as well but hey they do exist here in the states.

Can you imagine getting 10 greeks together and agreeing on anything? We're too independent to take orders from anyone, especially criminals. Our criminal element will most likely continue to work by themselves.

This is a great thread about the Greek mafia. I dont really think they can be compared to the Italians though.

Yes and that is what's unigue about the Greek race. We govern our own selves and we think independantly. Greeks are not followers. Greeks are born leaders which is good. Howevor sadly this mentality is also what lead us to lose the war in Asia Minor....

Couldn't agree more.

Yes Psomiades made a good point!

I could sit there and tell you that it didnt exist. It would be false. Truth is the Italians are far more in number and they were was a better population of them here. They migrated before us and in bigger numbers

Now as for being Independent and Born Leaders, No not everyone can be a leader. How can a king win a battle without his Knights.

As for why they lost the war you cant say its because they were all independent and born leaders.


If I can state what I know I gladly will, unfortunately what I know is not on paper . And it wouldn't be wise to expose such things. I am reading a book on the 5 families of New York over ten Greek names have been mentioned. The names were from Organized Crime and also on the side of the law. These Greeks were not made men but they were associates of the Luchese, Genovese, Gambino and the columbo family.

I grew up in the Heart oF Greek NY, and let me say this. There was a element of criime that was way beyond your scope of criminal activity. I have met men that are either in Prison, informants, or currently resting awating there second life.

The organization and territory was to say militirastic. You knew what was safe and was not from the age of 10. You knew who was who and who did what. The organization was a chain of command and truth be told the greeks were running everything. There wasnt a crd game that wasnt theres. Stolen cars to stolen earings. Fenced items liquor Shipments of goods to Greece etc...

Its obvious some are obligouis to the fact that they are Greek mafiozi here in the states. They were not organized as the Italians, Russians and so on but they did and still exist. Keep up the good posts enicko!
