anyone ever met mafia guys like the sopranos?

I'm a retard. For a second I was like why would an ex executive of Banana Republic need body guards and bulletproof vehicles?
Yeah.
Banana republic ex-president and some of his guys. Dinner at his villa that's a cross between a museum and library.

Great cook and incredible host.

Bulletproof suv and permanent bodyguard detail.

Still unbelievably popular there, kinda feel bad for him that he can't go out and do normal guy shit because of the fame

One of the largest waste management related mobsters lives in my neighborhood. Fucking goof is always making the news and attending sports events and public gatherings. He has been involved in a ton of missing persons and disappearances. His wife is a total psycho who would threaten the waitresses at the golf and tennis club if they didn't serve her drinks fast enough.
With ALL due respect, this wife, what are her beefers like?

My rapist won’t return my calls anymore #metoo
I've worked in and around the NJ construction business, and I've met quite a few shadowy guys. "No work" guys, with Italian names, who had a fancy job title like "community relations coordinator". They would just sit in the trailer all day, reading the paper, flirting with the office girls and etc. Everyone knew what was up, but no one ever said anything. Stuff would get stolen sometimes, like a truck trailer full of plumbing fixtures or countertops would mysterious vanish one night. Cost of doing business. But nothing wild or dramatic ever happened, at least not that I ever saw.
That happens with regular rate construction jobs too just due to general ineptitude and government funding.

Not Italian but Russian. I was hanging out with my parents in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn and we got hungry so we walked into a random restaurant. It was super quiet and dimly lit and there were only a bunch of men in suits sitting around at tables and the bar. They all turned to look at us as we stood by the entrance.

A big lady came out from the back, approached us, and suspiciously asked in a thick accent, "You wish to eat?" We said yes and she sat us. It took her a while to come back with menus. We were uncomfortable and knew something was off about the place but we didn't really catch on that we were in a mob joint until after we left. We were the only 'customers' in the place.

The food was phenomenal though. My mom got a baked fish that was served with the head still attached which was creepy but she said it was the best fish she ever had.
THE MACHINE!
Edit: fawk, I really need to start reading all the comments before posting.
 
My great grandparents moved to the UK from Italy my great grandma had and ran her own shop from her early 20s. There was something going on there considering she was bringing up two kids and her husband was a bit of wrong un. Most the connected ones died before I was born but there's family tales of mysterious Italian men in suits and sunglasses turning up to funerals.

So the heavily Italian accented little old lady I knew as a child is what I think of when I hear about 'connected'

This was before I was born so maybe doesn’t fit but my mom got a vase from Paul Castellano. She was with my dad at some seaside nick nack shop in Staten Island and she was admiring this porcelain vase, it looked like a farmers daughter holding a basket with chickens at her feet. She said this big fat Italian guy came over and asked her if she liked it and she said ya she did. He said I’m kind of like an owner here, go ahead and take it. My mom was confused and said no it’s ok but she said he insisted and so she did. My mom was new to NYC and didn’t know who he was but my dad grew up in Brooklyn and told her hey that’s Paul Castellano. This was in 1985 he was murdered not even a year later. The vase is still sitting on the hutch at my parents house
 
I worked at a golf course when I was in high school that was owned by a couple of mob guys (allegedly). All of our carts were white but there were 2 that were black and they were off limits.

Every once in a while, they or the extended family would show up in Aston Martins and take those carts out. What’s crazy was they were all super cool and nice to me. The one won the lottery twice lol.

The old guys who also worked there would steal shit from the pro shop constantly and they didn’t do anything about it. Never understood why but I’m sure they had their reasons.

not really an encounter but grew up in a suburb of a midwestern city and one morning on easter sunday at the gas station I saw these two guys roll up in an older model sedan (not sure if it was a caddy but one of those style cars). they park in a spot, not at the pump, one guy gets out and goes into the store, the other gets out and just stands by the car looking intimidating. Both wearing suits, mean looking dudes. The city has a history with the Italian Mob but it's been years since it's been very active.
