Rego this is a good article, thanks for posting buddy
reading it though, I'm a little confused, did Gotti make up that story that Carmine Persico was set to pull a Joe Bonnano and release a book and do a Primetime interview from Jail or was that a rumor out there in the underworld? Bc I have never heard that and I dont know much about the Persicos, but from the little I do know, that entire family is oldschool LCN and does not ever rat or say shit...I mean Carmine, Allie and Little Allie are all going to die in jail or have already died and they havent ever made a peep, plus all the cousins and sons, I dont think any of them have ever ratted right?
Also, and idk if this is from that shithead Ed Scarpo or whatever his real name is, or if its from Scars, but it lists Gerry Langella as the Acting boss for Carmine from I believe 1972 until 1979? I thought it was said on here that Tom Dibella was not only acting, but official boss in most of the 70's until Carmine was released? any thoughts on this? Personally, I believe Carmine was always the boss from the day after Columbo got shot, he had so much power in that family, way more support than Dibello I believe, but thats just my 2 cents...
