GREENE, DANNY: Mobsters TV - Cleveland Magazine online -
Cleveland, Ohio, March 29th 1975, Christie’s Lounge: A well-dressed older man sipped his drink. He was telling a familiar story to the regulars. He was getting out of the rackets, leaving the Mob life, retiring to sunny Florida. He threw back his last swallow, put on his hat and walked out into the cold spring air. Moments later the bar was rocked by a powerful blast outside. Patrons rushed out and choked on the awful smell of burning flesh. Mobster [Alex] Shondor Birns was finally out of the rackets. Just not the way he planned. Mobsters s4e3: Danny Greene
One man refused to hide: Irish mobster Danny Greene. His war would tear apart one of the country’s oldest and most successful Mafia families. ibid.
The Cleveland Mafia had a good thing going. The Boss, John Scalish, ran a quiet operation but one that pulled in bucketloads of cash. ibid.
He [Greene] resigned from the union and after pleading guilty to corruption charges he was also hit with a $10,000 fine. Danny was out of a job, but his turn as a shady labour leader had got the attention of gambling kingpin Shondor Birns. ibid.
Greene enlisted local thugs and hoodlums into what he called a band of Celtic warriors. ibid.
The thought of taking over the Italian rackets appealed to Greene. ibid.
Cleveland was rapidly becoming the bombing capital of the world. The following year – 1977 – 37 explosions rocked the city and surrounding area. ibid.
The battle for control of gambling, loan sharking, unions and even legitimate businesses, so nicely kept under wraps by Scalish, has made Cleveland the bombing capital of America [see Cleveland Magazine, April 1977]. Certainly, lives have been lost in this power struggle – nothing new in organized crime wars – but more important, the foundations of the Cleveland underworld and its arch-nemesis, the FBI, have been shaken as never before.
Even as federal agents conducted a nationwide investigation into the underworld, the FBI discovered that its lists of informants – the holiest of bureau secrets – had been leaked by one of its own employees to the same criminal figures the agents were pursuing. The theft of such highly classified documents has forced the FBI to reevaluate its security and its relationships with informants.
At the center of this incredible situation – The Mob War and The Leak – was the sloppy and amateurish bombing murder of Daniel John Patrick Greene, a bizarre and megalomaniacal gangster and an FBI informant. Greene defied all the rules of the game and lived on myth and on borrowed time – until last October.
In the subsequent trials of Greene’s accused murderers (some convicted, some exonerated), the strange doings of the underworld and, more significantly, Mr Greene himself have been discussed, ruminated upon and debated endlessly. But after thousands of hours of testimony by hundreds of witnesses, the rationale for the events themselves remains as inexplicable as ever. Only one thing is for certain:
No one man, not the present head of the Cleveland mob family, not even the best Cleveland intelligence cops and federal agents, knows the whole story of what has taken place on the streets of Cleveland over the last two years. Because there were so many characters with so many different motivations, the story does not lend itself to easy interpretations.
