The Eppolitos

Hi guys. My name is Luigi Di Matti, what I’m about to tell you is gospel truth, but you may not believe me. Online I notice no one believes anyone.

I have no reason to lie online and every now and then, the America vs Luigi Di Matti document appears online listing my 1969 court case. It’s down right now, but it’ll come back. The reason for this comment is, I saw an old comment from 2015 about the Eppolitos! I look online a lot and I found it when I typed Eppolito in Google recently because they were my close friends when I was young; and my idols and fucking tough gangsters, but they’re not even on Wikipedia, whilst in my opinion lesser losers like Henry Hill are everywhere online!! I never met Henry in New York, but I knew Paulie Vario. Personally, he was, shall we say, a violent guy and not at all like the guy in the Goodfellas movie. Anyway, as I said I was searching about the Eppolitos and I found a whopping zero. All the nightclubs they owned, all the hits they pulled off, but nothing. The only thing I found is about Ralphie’s son Louie who was a cop and a killer like his dad, but none about the capos and soldier brothers!! As I was close to all three Eppolitos and the other brother Joey, I knew them VERY well. Joey was not a made guy or an associate, he worked on the docks, but he was tough and he’d always be an alibi if you needed to say you were with him one night whilst out on a job.

I was closest to Ralphie and Freddy Eppolito. I loved Ralphie. The comments here got a lot wrong, so I’m gonna explain it. Who am I? I was born 6/2/1933 in Canarise. My parents, Giuseppe and Assunta were from Messina, Sicily. I became an associate in 1946/7 and I was made on Valentine’s Day 1956. I was initially in the crew of Freddy, but he lost his crew, I kind of bounced about after from crew to crew, spending a lot of time with Carmine the doctor. The comment I read here said Ralph Eppolito was only an associate. That’s not true, Ralph, Jimmy and Freddy were all made men. Ralphie was made, but he was maybe too violent to be a capo. He was a nice guy, but a Murder Inc type, you know, in our life we are all killers, you can’t be made without a murder, but he’d say weird shit like he’s fantasising about killing certain people and women. A fun, but crazy guy!!! Ralphie and Freddy had about 60 hits between them. They’d disappear for a few days, and you’d always read Monday someone got whacked. Ralph was a high ranking soldier, but too crazy to be a capo like his bros. Freddy and James clam were capos, Ralph and Freddy were ruthless killers, but Jimmy not so much. Jimmy was more of a loan shark and into gambling. He was also a good looking guy, a gentleman, but not as vicious as his brothers.

The reason you guys don’t know my name is because I got 70 years in February 1969, for 2 murders and 9 kilos of heroin. I was very close to a couple of guys, I never see mentioned, Epifanio Orio and Charlie Barcellona, two made guys in another Gambino crew. They and I were into drugs. Alfred Eppolito was also into drugs, but he got caught by the feds and demoted. He taught me the ropes of the mafia and drugs. The Eppolitos were big names in New York and close to Carlo initially. Their father was also a mobster, his name I forget but apparently he was huge in the bootlegging days, with lucky Charlie Lucania and Frank Costello. I got on very well with the Eppolitos. They were great guys, very fun to be around. Ralph was a tough tough guy, proper ruthless killer. I was only a soldier and when I got arrested for heroin. After, I was basically shelved. What I mean by that is, I was a big earner, made guy, when I got jailed, no one really visited. In jail I a saw a lot of Gambinos over the years, most didn’t even know I was a made guy., or who I was. I was released in September 2013. I now live in Florida. Any questions you have about the Gambinos during the fifties and sixties, I’ll answer with pride. My story is a tough one because I got to the top, but I have little to show for it. My bank account and funds, luckily, made me get released a comfortable guy, financially! My memory is quite good, despite my age, so I can give an honest opinion on any Gambinos and others from the fifties/sixties. It seems bizarre for me reading about DeMeo and Gotti everywhere, I never met any of them. When I was made, the Gambinos were different from other families, because we were about business, whilst the Columbos, Luccheses were like cowboys, fucking whacking everyone doing crazy stupid shit shaking down shops, just not doing more legit union stuff and legitimate businesses like us. There was just so much money in drugs, many of us got involved. I was getting Heroin from Columbia from a Spanish guy I met in jail. It was very easy to move it, drop it off and take the money. I was picking it up so cheap and selling it in bulk for almost 100% profit, so I was dressing in designer suits, hats, spending thousands on drugs, prostitutes, clothes, cars. I was a smart dresser. I always wore check suits, hand painted tie. A lot of blue shirts, black shirts with grey suit, black tie. I was an impressive gangster about town. And a crazy motherfucker to boot. I’d work my legitimate business 9-5 everyday, I had a clothes shop, 3 grocery stores, 2 bars, 3 nightclubs, but weekends I’d disappear all weekend, doing drugs with whores for 36 hours. I got in trouble a few times by my capos for going AWOL. 😂 I was selling kilos to the LA family, Chicago, Saint Louis. I loved the mob meetings where crews from across the country would meet, cos I’d find customers. You can’t just walk up to a mob guy and introduce yourself, another friend of ours has to do the introduction, so I was always getting Carlo to introduce me to bosses and asking them to introduce me to their crews. Carlo loved me, cos my dad was from Sicily and I speak Italian. Carlo used to hand me numbers rackets, because he wanted me to be success. Through Carlo, I had 350,000 on the streets in numbers. I was a good earner, from the day I got made, I was kicking up $40 to 50 thou a month to my capo and my stock was high when I wasn’t doing crazy shit!!! In the fifties 40 thou was like 150 thou now. I knew a lot of guys on the street from all 5 families.

To this day, I don’t know if I was ratted or what, but the two murders I got jailed for, there was minimal proof, mo witnesses. No one really helped me. My heart sunk when I heard seven zero years. I never ratted to get time off! Nino Gaggi I knew, he was a prick. Nino was a guy that was just hard to like, he was a capo, so I had to respect him, but a dodgy prick. Carlo gave me rackets with him, but he was just a strange guy. I just naturally could not stand him, I found him to be creepy and sly. He’s just a two faced ass licker, just a horrible slimy guy. My eyes are quite bad now, but if you want to ask questions I’ll answer.

I ran with so many made guys that are not anywhere on the internet. There were a lot of made Gambinos, but not many were earners or killers. So many aren’t online. We had a big family. If you went out in New York un the sixties, you’d see Gambinos everywhere. I was a popular guy way back, but my best friends were definitely made guys Jovanni DeRigi, Giuseppe Rispaldi, Epifanio Orio and the Eppolitos, especially Ralphie. He kinda took me under his wing. He was about 10/15 years older than me and a guy always ready to do work. Hits never bothered Ralphie.

I was an earner, but not a killer. I did kill a few guys, but none of my murders haunt me, I was doing my job. I was more about getting girls. I made my bones, I did some nasty shit. A lot of burning down houses with people inside, but I wasn’t an outright killer. I did work if I was given it, but I wasn’t one of those guys that enjoyed it. You know, in the life you get those guys, they’ll whack anyone over anything. That just wasn’t me, I forgave a few things, when perhaps really, I should have killed those guys. I was more a ‘bullet in the back of the head’ when they don’t expect it kinda guy, if I had to do work.

I was always more interested in women, than killing. I’ve got 2 sons 2 daughters from 4 women. Carlo didn’t like that shit, but I was cool with Carlo until I got busted with drugs. After that I never saw him again. Paulie took over, a guy I never liked, so my mob life was over. Aside from selling huge quantities of heroin, I was smoking it a lot too with prostitutes through the 60s. My mob nickname was, ‘Good Looking Lu’, I was a handsome barstard, a hazel eyed Elvis Presley and I used it to good effect, I must’ve had 1000 women, 2 marriages and 4 kids. 300 of that 1000 were prostitutes I smoked heroin with haha 😂!

After my heroin arrest, I was basically black listed. Only Aniello visited me. Aniello loved me, cos I killled a guy that was ratting him. That hit got me made. That made my bones. Joe Gallo, the Columbo guy, the guy I shot, who was a made guy, was ratting on him too, so I became close to him and Larry much later. When I pulled that hit to get made, Joe Gallo and Aniello Dellacroe were in jail. It was like the film Godfather, because we were drinking in the club of Sonny Franzese and you had to hand your guns to staff at the entrance. I had a gun hidden in the toilet like the movie, Godfather. It was known by everyone what was gonna go down. I never met Albert Gallo, sadly, I’m sure he was un-made when I met Joe and Larry. One Columbo/Gallo guy I was close to who was with them during the war, was Gennaro Ciprio. A big fat guy, he was a great cook and I loved his food, he was so proud of his cooking ability and his food was divine. He was only an associate I think, but a scary guy. A fucking tough guy, but decent and solid if you knew him. All those guys are dead! I outlived so many.

I have to be honest, my Costa Nostra life wasn’t flattering. 25 years in the life as a soldier and an earner and 43 years in jail. I’m not a guy they’ll make a film of. I could go on, but I’m tired, write me with questions about the sixties I’ll answer. Any Gambino stuff or the Gallos I know a lot. Not so much other families, but I met so many people back then, maybe I’ll have info . I might write a book soon, I’m getting old now, my light is dimming so it must be NOW.

I'll play along, what's your take on the Columbo hit and J. Gallo's participation in it.

WOW! Lol

I knew no one would believe me, it’s very frustrating, but I’m pretty sure this stuff I wrote about is not online. Carlo Gambino was against the Italian American civil right’s league, because the FBI were getting knowledge of many soldiers that were mostly unknown through those demonstrations. Our society is secret. Having public demonstrations denies the whole point of being a secret society. In honesty, I don’t know if Joe Gallo killed Joe Columbo. I was actually in jail when it happened. What I can say is that, I know for a fact, Carlo was against that civil rights league, so if Gallo went ti the commission asking for permisos to take out Columbo, he would have been given the green light 100%. Believe it or not, during the war in the early sixties, the Gallos attacked a few Gambinos, including Aniello Dellacroe. As far as I remember, I was thinking, we are gonna join Profaci and wipe out the Gallos, but apparently, Dellacroe and I forget who else, we’re actually in thee wrong themselves, so Carlo never took revenge on the Gallos. I don’t have a photographic memory, I don’t remember exactly, but I remember the talk that the Gallos attacked two or three Gambinos. Beat one in a nightclub and SEVERELY beat Neil Dellacroe the underboss. I don’t know this for gospel truth, but I think the Gallos and the Profacis killing each other was good for Carlo, because, once they were on their knees, I think the plan was to take over what was left and incorporate it into our family. I was only a soldier, so I don’t have first hand knowledge, but we talked a lot about this stuff and on reflection it certainly looks thar way

87 year old on the forums! That has got to be a record!

Luigi, why did you settle in Florida after getting out?

Honestly, I don't know what the hell it is you're smoking, but you better put it down. Because you've obviously flipped your wig! LOL

Well you certainly have a lot of information. I’m not going to call you a liar(at least yet) because we have had some individuals involved in that life but certainly not a made guy in his late 80’s 😂. Anyway just for the hell of it why dont you walk us through your induction ceremony. What was it like back then, what were your feelings, who were the other inductees made with you? Also you say guys like Gotti and Demeo were a bit after your time but surely you must have known of Anthony Plate?

Where were you locked up?

I'll be honest, right now I don't believe you at all. I'm also guessing you're from the UK. But if you can offer any type of proof I will gladly eat my words.

I'm with JCrusher on this one, I'm not in a position to call anyone a liar. And I'm willing to give everyone the benefit of the doubt until it gets blatantly fictional. NYMafia, I always support your postings and the fact you point out your family connections and have no reason to question your information. Why not give Luigi the same benefit until he proves otherwise. If he's a phoney, give him enough rope he'll expose and hang himself as a fraud. I'd love to hear about your induction as well. Who was there, where was it and when exactly? Who was your sponsor and Capo?

Cool story bro.

Di Matti is very strange as a surname. I'll let furio explain what it means..

Why don’t you post some proof. Like prison pictures and your convict badge etc etc. and some old school pics with Carl and the boys.....

I can answer all those questions. 1) Why do I live in Florida? I had a bank account all those years ago and I left money in there. I was involved in heroin all those years ago and I was a big earner. When I got out as an old man, Canarise had changed. Full of ni**ers (excuse any black readers) I have extremely pain in my right leg and I’m a type 1 diabetic, so there was no way at 80 when I got out I was gonna re-join the life, so I took the money I had, all I was given and moved to Florida. I have a nice flat. I used to love Florida in the sixties. I was made Valentines evening 1956! I was a recruit since I was 14/15. I was a crazy kid, I used to rob the milkmen on payday 😂 It was a good earner. Freddy Eppolito, my capo, Sleepy Barcellona and Epifanio Orio got me into drugs. But I wasn’t just selling it I was MAD on drugs, injecting it, smoking it. I was a crazy kid. In those days you got whores on street corners, they’d say, you looking for business? I’d take them to my flat with fuck loads of drugs for like 24 hours 😂.I didn’t just like drugs, I loved them. I could’ve got killed. I was made in the back of a restaurant valentines evening 2956. I got made with Jovanni DiRiggi and Giuseppe Risoaldi. Neither is anywhere online. I can’t believe the Eppolitos also are not online, especially Ralphie. Anyway, when I got made, Agar happened, I had a couple if shops and a clothes shop and I worked there every day as it was my best earning shop. I didn’t work in the shop, I was in an office behind, where I’d plan stuff etc. Anyway, I didn’t drive after a car crash, put me off cars. So I left work and my capo picked me up and said I’m gonna take you home, I want you to put on your best suit. I wasn’t told I’m getting straightened out, but I had a feeling, I got changed, I got taken to a hall behind a restaurant and there was a room behind there. When I got there Jovanni and Giuseppe are there also suited up. So I was first called in. Carlo wasn’t there, my capo was, another capo and Aniello. I had to offer my trigger finger, it was sliced. Now, I have a bleeding problem, so there was blood everywhere on the carpet. That didn’t go down well! Anyway, it was much like you see in movies, I was given a religious Saint, it was burned by matches and they said if I betray my oath, I will burn like the Saint. I never did betray omertà. And that was it, I was made. Being made is an amazing thing, because other family members look at you different. It’s hard to put into English, il cielo!! So that was that then 13 years later it was all over for me, prison. As for why at 87, I check the internet, yes I’m 87, my eyes are bad, but I missed internet, computers, Facebook etc. I’m making the most of it. In jail, I became a genius, reading books on evolution. I’m a catholic, but I am an atheist, I believe in evolution. I don’t think a god exists. All the historians alive when Jesus supposedly was, never mentioned him. Same for Mohammed. You can say, I wasted 43 years or you can say, I became enlightened

I can dig out my prison stuff, it’s somewhere in the flat. I’m not very mobile and I have a nurse come once a week, so you’ll have to wait until she comes on Tuesday if that’s ok for you? As for photos, I don’t have any and the reason being is when I was arrested, I was remanded until my court date, at court I got 70 years, so my flat and belongings, if they were stored, were not available in 2013. Sorry. I don’t even have my wedding photos, children etc. I’m not asking you to believe me, it’s your choice if you do. If you can find the information I give anywhere else on the internet, I’ll give you $1000. There’s not one sentence about Ralphie Eppolito or Freddy. I can tell you Freddy was my capo. Anyway, he got demoted, got on drugs and alcohol. He like disappeared. A few years later, he was dead. It was like 65 or 64. Something like that. 5 years before my pinch, or 6. No where else online says about the Eppolitos and they were BIG deals. I mean big. 2 capos and a soldier. I loved them boys. I knew the older brother Joey, I don’t mind if you don’t believe me, I’m not asking you to, I enjoy writing this stuff, if you don’t believe me, that’s your choice. I can’t force you. You certainly can’t trust a thieving murderer 😂

Where were you last locked up at?

What are your thoughts on Jimmy the Clam Eppolito and his son getting gunned down by Nino and Demeo in October 79? I know you said you were in jail at the time but you must have heard about it. Also interested to hear your thoughts on Louie Eppolito becoming a “mafia cop”

I’ll tell you another thing that’s not online, when Freddy Eppolito got demoted, his crew merged with prick Paul Castellano’s crew. Me too. Now Paul Castellano was a fucking loser and NO ONE, I mean no one liked him. He simply wasn’t street. Let me give you an example. Me and Jovanni DiRiggi were getting extortion payments from some shops. It was a piss take really, but all mob schemes care. Anyway, two Bonnano guys went in and took our money. We turn up, the shop keeper says, I already have the money to the blonde guy. I knew immediately who it was. I went to my capo, Paul, he said, you should’ve got there earlier then. Cocksucker. Anyway, as I said earlier, I was close to Carlo. I was, because Carlo loved my dad and si was different than others cos I spoke to him in Italian. I raised this with Carlo and after a few weeks I got moved to the doctor’s crew. I would’ve preferred Jimmy clam, but it was better than Paul Castellano. I never met John Gotti, I can say, the way he was, certainly was the death knell for our thing, but whacking Paul. Totally understand it. Not only was he a cocksucker, he was fucking tight. He was asking for 40% of certain schemes etc. Him and Nino Gaggi. Fucking cocksuckers. Paul wasn’t a slimy sly cockroach like Nino, but I hated them two

Question for ya Louie, were you friendly at all with Swifty or Georgie Martinelli?

Where was I last locked up at? FCI Elkton. You see, I was always polite to police and screws abd it helped me no end. Some guys would spit at police, fight with them etc, what’s the point? They’re only going to make you suffer. I was so polite, I use to get given books to read in jail! My politeness got me moved to a low security prison and got me out early. I made a lot of friends with screws and probation people. That’s just me. I’m a friendly guy. What do I think of Jimmy clam? Gutted. Heart broken. Watched a documentary about Roy DeMeo. Serial killer. I watch some Michael Franzese videos. I knew his dad, great guy. I read religious people have low IQs, so not sure about the Christianity shit, but he seems a good guy. I will never watch fucker Sammy Geavano 🐀 🐀 There’s no excuse for ratting a gent like Tommy Gambino. Back to Jimmy Clam apparently Paul allowed them to kill him and his son, I actually didn’t hear about it until about 2006. When Carlo was alive Jimmy Clam was a top earner, a classy handsome guy. He had a thing, believe it or not with Marilyn Monroe. Carlo would’ve never let him get whacked, but I heard he was in Nino’s crew? Bizarre, way back when, Jimmy was a powerful capo, I don’t know how/why he got demoted. I don’t think I ever told you, when I got caught with so much drugs, I was basically shelved. What I mean is, no one came to see me. Well, not many, only Aniello Dellacroe. He loved me. I used to ask him what’s going on if I get out, but I never got a straight answer, so I guess if I got out, I’d be put on a shelf somewhere. I had 4 appeals, but they all failed

I don’t know anyone called swifty and the only Martinelli I know is Paulie, never met a George. Sorry

Thanks Luigi. Like I said before I like to give people the benefit of the doubt reason and your answers are very detailed and quick so I give you props. Any stories on guys like Joe N Gallo, Joe Piney, Tony Plate, or Carmine Lombardozzi?

Sorry I forgot the mafia cop! 😂 Chip off the old block, the apple doesn’t fall far 😂 Very funny about Ralphie’s son, I met him you know when he was a kid! Ralphie was I guess you can say a bit like Roy DeMeo, as in, a guy who loves killing! I mean LOVES killing. I wasn’t like that at all. So when I read about his son, it made sense to me. Like father like son. I bet as a cop, he had a bodycount in the hundreds. I think he killed Bruno Facciola. I knew him. He was an associate when I knew him, but a good guy. He used to drink spritzers like an old boy

yeah my father was a NYC cops during that era and he didn’t know Louie but knew of him. A lot of cops suspected he was dirty

How long were you around Carmine Lombardozzi? How many years were you in his personal crew?

Luigi
What years were you down in Elkton ?

Having a hard time buying this... nobody by that name in the fed lookup. If you got out in 2013 it would have said you’re released.... But hey I could still be wrong. Was it common to call apartments “flats” in America back in the day?

This is absolutely bullshit.

I thought "screws" was more of a UK/Australian thing. I've never heard guards called that in the US. Also the fact you claim your name is Di Matti..

I call bs as well. Funny though

How many years did you serve Luigi?

As I said, I can’t force anyone to believe me, it’s your choice if you do or if you don’t. I was released exactly May 2013, I don’t know if it is published when you’re released. If you say so, I trust you. The world is different than when I went jail. You have to understand that was 1969. How long was I with Carmine Doctor 5 years. I need to explain something that might make you understand me better. Sorry to anyone who doesn’t believe me, I’m old, I don’t care who believes what. I had an amazing life, I slept with many beautiful women, I lived like a king. All these things are 😂 in my wank bank, and they keep my heart ticking. If you guys don’t believe me, it’s not gonna break my heart. I’m a grandad, a father and an old boy. Anyway, I was trying to say, I was not a gangster like you see in the movies. What do I mean? When I was 5/6 I noticed when you buy stuff, you get a bag, so I took a friend went shopping with my mum and picked up some bags and filled them up with toys!! We got away with it, but my cocksucker friend told his dad and his dad and mum came round my house and beat our front door. There was a sit down over this as my dad was friends with Carlo. Anyway, I never forgot that and when I got made, I knocked on his door and shot him, point break range in the forehead. That makes me sound a 24/7 gangster, but I really wasn’t. What I mean is, a lot of made guys were ALWAYS taking about mob stuff non stop, it’s ALL they talked about. I was not like that, I was a natural crook, but I was interested in music, I was a singer, I recorded a record and I wasn’t one to hang out all night in social clubs etc, I would hang out with girls, do drugs and go out by myself, get high, hang out all weekend with whores. So I was probably a bit different than you guys think I was. I’m probably not like how you think I am, I was much more interested in women and drugs than money or mafia. For me, it was just an easy way to get the things I wanted. Canarise in 1930-70 was pure mafia, you couldn’t escape it, I was Sicilian, I saw an edge and I took it. Say whatever about me, but I was always a guy things didn’t go right for much. Look, I found this site a couple of days ago and I joined, I was hoping to find a few guys from the old days I could reconnect with, cos I miss the old days very much. If you guys think I’m some guy chatting bs to you all, well... Ti auguro il meglio, tanta felicità e amore e la prossima volta, diavolo vota repubblicano !! Fanculo biden

For an ex con grandad you sure are quick on the keyboard

Well if anyone was still wondering if this guy is full of shit

Luigi, you sure sound like one helluva dangerous guy to me! Even though you say you were more a thief than I killer, WOW, shooting that guy square in the face. In the forehead?? That takes some big balls!

I think that most all of us are extremely impressed by your tremendous mafia pedigree. Not to mention all the drugs and beautiful women you banged in your life. Impressive, I must say!..... and recording a record too? Wow. What a guy!!
----
Just one thing if I may. So growing up in Canarise as you say (I always thought it was spelled Canarsie), in a flat (you mean a house don't you?) with your mum (to us Americans she's called a mom) and dad..... by the way, few Americans refer to it as a "wank" ..... we also don't say "old boy", we just say "old man"........ there's a few more, but I think you get the idea by now, no Luigi?? Lol

Ciao Cucuzza!

There's a ton of nuts out there.... looks like we just got acorn fellas! Lol

Funny that a made guy, having spent a life on the streets and having known many of these people personally can't spell Bonanno.

It is entertaining though.

You also post a lot for a guy born in 1929. My father in law was born in 1933 and can't figure out how to get the iPad working with the simple press of the home button!

Anyways, congratulations on your parole and good luck with your reacclimation to society.

What an incredible life you lived Mr. Luigi. Or should I say Moe? I see you prick

hahahah where is your flat in Florida? not oo many flats in Florida these days

“”When I was 5/6 I noticed when you buy stuff, you get a bag, so I took a friend went shopping with my mum and picked up some bags and filled them up with toys!! “”

You are a NYC mob guy and you went shopping with your “ mum “ ?? Did you have tea and biscuits after shopping with your mum ?
I call bullshit. Thats straight outta London. The venacular gets em all the time.

I have that suspicion as well.

Pip, Pip, Pop, Pop, Cheery-O and all that sort of rubbish mate!........would you care for a spot of tea and some crumpets?

Now that I look at some of the posts and see “flat” and “mum” That’s way too fishy 😂. I‘M Italian and a lifelong New Yorker. You will never hear an Italian much less an old school made guy say those words 😂

You should be careful to make fun of him, NYMafia - Luigi DiMatti is known to control the fish and chips rackets and is a known hijacker of lorries carrying scones. If you fuck with him he might mess you up right proper.

Don't get any designs on his "bird" either. You may want to get in her knickers but if he catches you he will thrash you like a drunken chav!

He doesn't speak American English, much less NYC dialect.

I love how silent Michael Caine is right now loll

Dare di matto= going crazy so Di Matti can translate as "of insane men".

Lol, well said Eastside. I like your English lingo. very British I might add.

Lol I called that shit early!

I don't get why people have to pretend to be someone else. If he had just said he was curious about the Eppolittos, within a day 10 guys would have posted links to books, news articles, FBI documents, and videos. Better than doing a Google search. I guess some guys want to be the center of attention.

You did RB!

I’m guessing we won’t be hearing from Luigi anymore. Hope he isn’t stashing drugs in his “flat” anymore 😂

You have all been so mean to Luigi, he will probably never come back. Hope you're happy, gone is the opportunity now to gain his rare insight into what it must have been like to drive a right-hand drive getaway Austin Mini after a hit. We will never know about all that action he took on rugby matches and the millions of pound sterling he made on the weekly vig. And gone forever is the opportunity to hear about the political reach of the mob back in those heady glory days - all the way up to 10 Downing Street...and some would even say, Buckingham Palace.

You guys really blew it.

Cheerio

He should have said he was with the Kray twins, he might have fooled us.

That cracked me up

It’s actually really scary that some person from the UK went all this way to make all these posts trying to pretend like he was some old time wise guy.

True. Although I got to give him credit he had me for a little bit. He obviously spent a lot of time researching and creating a backround. He knew we would be skeptical so he had backup answers however his biggest mistake was using U.K. words like Mum and flat.

Its called being a complete, unequivocal Cuckoo-bird....A Tea sipping, crumpet eating Cuckoo-bird, but a certifiable Cuckoo nonetheless. Lol

Agreed

Are you typing this yourself or his a relative typing this for you? Because the linguistics hint towards someone a lot younger than their 80s. The emoji put the cherry on top.

Might not be shit online about the Eppilitos but there are tons in books fbi Files, mary ferrel site and newspaper articles. What was the grand mark?

He also said "piss take" which is UK slang.
Don't think Americans use it much.

Personally, I found it doubtful a 87 year old would be typing long posts

Good eye! I suspected the British shit also. It's a britbong. White male, between the age of 22-38. Still lives with his parents.

Guy is full of shit.

#1 - States that he was "cool with Carlo Gambino". Late 80s but uses that phrase.
#2 - Uses emojis in his late 80s
#3 No BOP inmate record of anyone by that name
#4 Nino wasn't a Capo when he claimed to go away to prison
#5 he must've been the only Italian mob guy in the 60s getting heroin from a Columbian guy.
#6 the linguistics of what he types uses phrases and words of a young American/British guy.
#7 no fbi Files, no mention in mary farrell, no 📰 articles,no court records(he claims they're down online right now but will be back up soon)
#8 no photos at all. Even the fraud John Alite, dominick montiglio and Evey other guys have a couple photos to halfway back up a claim they at least "knew" mob guys.
#9 I hope you retards aren't buying this. He's obviously yanking your chain

Someone told the guy he was Moe ha ha ha.My dumbass was gullible enough to believe the guy.I mean who gets on here and puts the time and energy into that.A few years back samething.Someone posted a "wiretap" of Gotti and Frankie Loc.Nobody had ever heard the tape before.But everyone believed it.It was good.All made up.An entire conversation he had Gotti saying stuff like "it's a fuckin winter wonderland out here Frankie" the shit was good.Someone finally caught on and called his bs.Goodjob on this guy here forum members calling him out.Really yhe Gotti wiretap was funny.The guy was just doing a joke.This guy that started this thread is very very lonely.You need help man

The biggest clue that he is lying through his teeth is admitting he committed murders. Who would admit that on a internet forum? Also at the time he says he was made, there is no mention of Albert Anastasia at all, who was boss of his so called family at that time. I agree you can tell by the phrases he used that he is a brit. It's Valentine's day not April Fools Day.

Anybody got grandparents in their 80s? Can you imagine one or them typing this shit on a computer or phone?

Prob not what he intended to do but atleast he gave everyone a good laugh...
Thanks for the laughs...

As you guy's are calling him out I'm visioning my 70 year old father in law trying to write a text and cursing at the phone...

Lol typing with one finger
And his pinkie extended

And this guy after doing 40 years
And didnt even know what a cell phone was until he got out.

Was able to type like a pro?
With emoji's (REALLY?)

Just not happening!!!

If he would have lost the flats and mum and said he grandson is typing for him
He would have had me going for a bit longer

I think it was pretty obvious once he refused to post his prison badge or post pictures with the wiseguys he knew

The whole thing is ridiculous. Most of the info he posted came from Louie Eppilitos book Mafia Cop. If I had to bet who "Luigi" was I would bet his son Anthony or his gay son Louie Jr.

Hey are you the old poster Yates? With the social club map?

Luigi DiMatti is Gianni Russo

Yeah that caught my attention as well. An 87 year old using the word "cool" seemed a bit off to me.

He might be a person with a big imagination and likes being a story teller. I use to do the same thing as this guy but on other forums related to different subjects. My motivation wasn't attention seeking, I just liked telling stories and I have a big imagination. Once I pretended I was a former shot caller that did time in San Quentin prison and everyone bought my story until I started getting the prison lingo wrong because I've never done time and I'm not from the US so ex-cons caught me out on my incorrect lingo.

DiMatti is way smarter than Gianni Russo. Russo rubbed shoulders with mobsters, DiMatti never did.
