The Morello Crime Family

The Morello Crime Family

In the 1890s, Giuseppe Morello founded the 107th Street Mob which would later evolve into the Morello crime family. Morello built his empire based on his merciless ordering of death sentences against everyone who dared to face him. Lupo, his main enforcer, was responsible for more than sixty murders in a 10-year period. The Morello family would frequently employ the notorious barrel murder system, dumping dismembered corpses into large wood barrels. The barrels would then be thrown into the sea, left on a random street corner, abandoned in a back alley or shipped to nonexistent addresses in another city.

Family businesses included extortion, loan sharking, Italian lottery, robbery and counterfeiting. Illegally earned money was then legitimized by legal businesses such as stores or restaurants owned by the family, making them the first crime family in town to organize this kind of money laundering. They also introduced revolutionary ways of extorting small amounts of money every week from business owners in exchange for "protection", as opposed to the theft of large amounts which might bankrupt them. This technique was adopted from Black Hand gangsters and it led to increased profits for the gang. Two members of Morello's famiglia who became Captains under Morello and who later gained much prominence in the New York underworld were Giuseppe Masseria and Salvatore D'Aquila.

By 1905, Morello had created the largest, most influential Sicilian crime family in New York City and was recognized as capo di tutti capi (boss of all bosses) by Mafia leaders in other U.S. cities, according to Nicola Gentile.

Ok so in “honor?” of one of the first mafia families of New York, I’m naming this The Morello Crime Family. If you read up on them they were pretty revolutionary and kind of developed the modern day mob. You must have an Italian or Sicilian character to join. As of right now, to keep things simple, all three of us will start in the same crew, the 107th Crew. As we expand PCs can create their own crews and branch off. You must kick up 10% of your earnings. Players who go AWOL for more than a month will get clipped unless you have an excuse.

Family business will revolve around extortion, loan sharking, robbery, counterfeiting, money laundering. Anything with drugs is excolicitly forbidden. Killling indiscriminately will get you smacked he fuck up. Consult your local Capo to get permission for a hit. Lazy Capos will be relieved of duty. Your expected to lead and provided earning opportunities to your subordinates. That’s it for now, join for a fun time!
