The Many Faces of Informant John Pennisi

The Many Faces of Informant John Pennisi

John Pennisi posts regularly on social media about the "truth" and how people "can't handle the truth." So, he should have no issues with the truth that's about to be presented here.

I can tell you who wrote this without even reading it.

My name is on the article, so it's no mystery.

I didn’t even open it and I knew you wrote it.

And....so????

It's just that soap box you can't wait to jump on every time a rat or fbi agent does something that offends you. Which is just about anything they do. You glorify criminals but as soon as someone switches sides they are expected to be virtuous and without fault and somehow have to be held to a higher standard. But if they kill or steal or whatever, as long as they are not a rat, they are considered 'honorable'.

But on a positive note, you are a talented writer and I appreciate your passion although in my opinion it is misguided.

It's a good story backed up by facts that many us did not have.

She can't be on a soap box, you take up all the space on it.

It's true though that some people (including you) are perfectly fine with crime as long as the criminals don't rat on accomplices.

You're mixing up two different issues. If informants really want to turn their life around, then they should tell the truth but 99 percent of the time all they tell are lies. And if they're lying on their podcasts or blogs (and misinformation, half-truths, minimization, deflection are all forms of lies) then why wouldn't they have lied in their proffers or on the stand while testifying?

And if changing their life is their mantra - why charge people to share the errors of their ways? Why monetize videos? And actually boast about the numbers they're getting? Why sell "merch"? Are they donating the proceeds to a good cause?

Thank you. More to come.

My point was NOT that the informants have no fault or anything like that, I agree that for the most part they stay scumbags. What I insist on is that those criminals who don't rat aren't any better than the ones who do.

Sure. I'm taking up all the space with my 4 posts this year.

Gee, I wonder if you hate him because he's your competition.

It's very simple IMO the ones who accept their time are better than the ones who don't,. At least the ones who stand up and accept their punishment have some dignity and honor left, the ones who do the same crimes or worse but will not stand up and accept their punishment have nothing left. Except of course their future on youtube doing videos of how great they are, with fanboys of rats saying "You are my hero and a true stand up guy"

Lots of these chumps defending rats on here were more than likely the teacher's pet at school and are the boss's ass kissers and snitches at work. Birds of a feather flock together, so when you show contempt towards these rats it strikes a nerve with these mutts. I bet they volunteer to be their neighborhood crime stoppers and have 911 on speed dial. Nobody likes snitches, and speaking of being okay with crime, you're not okay with the Mafia committing crime but never mind how the government commits every crime the mob does but on a much larger scale! Hypocrites. And the "criminals" who don't rat are better than those who do, they stood up and faced the music and that's honorable! And by the way, this site is called gangsterbb.net, not bootlickerbb.net or pro-governmentbb.net or coploverbb.net. STOP GLORIFYING RATS! STOP GLORIFYING SNITCHING!

I don't get why people are soft for rats. I'm a civilian, but those people are the lowest of the low for very obvious reasons. You can say what you want about John Gotti, but at least he had principles.

Why are you always talking like the government and the mafia are 2 separate entities opposed to one another? The mafia wouldn't even exist without complicity in the government; and stop making things up about someone defending rats. Nobody defends them, they are scumbags to the same degree as those criminals who don't rat, whether they are the government or "normal" criminals.

Maybe you are replying to the posts without reading them? Otherwise you wouldn't have said somebody is "defending" rats or the government here.

Saying that criminals are pieces of shit isn’t the same as defending rats or the corrupt government, because they are criminals too.


NOT doing the crime is much more honorable. And, before you say anything, this should apply to the government as well.

So the government that goes after them and makes deals with rats is corrupt and evil, as are the men who stand up and do not rat. Beides you and a handful of a few select people who does that leave as honorable? We know they should not do a crime, they usually do, and take their time. Yet when a frame up is exposed you still want the accused persecuted.

Why are you saying "a few" people? MOST of average people don't commit crimes and live normally.

That's debatable. Meanwhile back to Defendant Digest exposing John Pennisi, it was good work.

So your saying most avg people commit crimes like racketeering,murder,loan Sharking, Assault,drug trafficking etc . What delusional world are you living in?

As for the article it misses the Mark in my opinion, Pennisi has kept his head down and not involved himself in Cosa Nostra, posting on YouTube is not Indicative of involvement in Cosa Nostra or crime, and he no longer can interact w certain relatives like his sons godmother who’s Jimmy Burke’s daughter. Pennisi is in danger everytime he leaves his house,Mike Desantis,Patty Dellarusso,George Zappola etc are known murderers. Why should he be jailed when he voluntarily went to the fbi? Also if Pennisi was such a liar he would have lied and implicated them in the Michael Meldish murder instead of saying they never talked to him about it or mentioned it.....

Kept his head down!! He does podcasts, youtube videos and interviews on a constant basis. He is out every day, you say he keeps his head down. You're the one who is delusional, rat lover.

No one is going to touch him and he knows it, stop with the danger foolishness. No one has killed Alite, Gravano, or any other rat out there, you have to know it's the same for Pennisi unless you are really delusional.

No ones going to kill Alite and them they already testified. Pennisi is testifying at upcoming trials. Your delusional....

Right, the FBI along with prosectors want him killed so he can't testify for them. Get real!

Get off your soap boxes rat and cop lovers. Go join a pro-government bootlicking cop-loving page.

Nobody's going to kill Pennisi before, during, or after testifying, he is NOT putting his life in danger. The Mafia is a joke today. He's just another filthy rat who knew exactly what he signed up for and is now running away with his rat tail tucked between his legs.

Rather than rewrite a long diatribe on what my position is on this subject and why I feel the way I do about rats. I thought I'd just post up "The Rats Nest" link. If you read through the first two articles on top I wrote (especially the 2nd one) about rats before you reach the photo galleries I think I say all that needs to be explained about them

I think the article below explains why they're so vile and looked upon by most people with disdain and disgust. It generally doesn't matter what or who they're ratting about.

Read: "A Rat is a Rat is a Rat...Who years back woulda got a Rat-A-Tat-Tat"

He, his lawyer, and the AUSA lied to the judge when they said he was in fear for his life. Why? Because of exactly what he's doing. Keeping his head down is not about him not doing any crimes. It's about him putting himself front and center so him doing what he's doing is not showing a fear for his life.

In addition, he is a hypocrite. You cannot say you're bringing positivity when all you do yourself is point fingers in a blog and podcast.

He tells stories that are non-verifiable. Quotes people from years ago - verbatim mind you - and claims it's the "truth." Yet, when someone questions him or disagrees with him - he gets upset and says that no one should question the validity of what he says.

He's also apparently charging $500 and $300 for his "sitdowns". Another hypocritical thing because as I said in the article - if he wanted to help people change their life - why is he charging people to tell his tall tales?

Superfans, like you, refuse to see the snake oil he's selling you.

Lisa as always great article very informative,

I think you exposing these guys for what they are REALLY are is GREAT!!!

They are all PREACHING THE SAME BULL-SHIT more or less.

They changed, they are doing what they are doing to help the kids ALL BULL SHIT!!!

We have a couple of posters on here that put so much time and effort into researching and writing articles and stories that really keep this blog going, with interesting topics from different perspective's, Lisa & N.Y. Mafia to name a couple, they take time away from their families and loved ones to contribute and they don't get paid for it.

At a minimum if anyone disagrees with their stories/article's and/or opinions on a subject or subjects please be mindful that if you push them too far they will just leave this blog for another or just stop putting all the time and effort and work that they do.

All the above is sad but true. Fanboys don't give a shit about anything objective but negative that anyone reports about their heros.

I'm actually surprised that so many guys suck up to admitted rats and stool pigeons. They near worship these guys and actually defend them. Like they admire Benedict Arnolds and traitors as though its a virtuous trait to have

The way of the new world .... I don’t doubt that if it ever comes to a draft that the our daughters and granddaughters will have to stand up because the boys in this country will not stand up ..... look what’s going on .

Yep! Scary shit for sure!...... what the fuck ever happened to all the men? So many spineless little weasels nowadays its scary

Nothing to do w today’s times..the kids today have no morals or backbone and they’re all weak mentally most of all. BUT I lump rats in with mobsters,they’re all scumbags. The only thing I’ll say is the ones that are fathers that are rats are slightly less scumbags than the guys that don’t rat and go to prison. Anyone that chooses fake friends and prison life over they’re children is lower than scum. To take prison especially in this day and age with the way the life is and the people that inhabitant it,. Is beyond idiotic it’s complete indifference to your children and says you don’t give a fuck about your real family all you care about it social status and money and power in the mob......

I don't anybody here is advocating a career as a mobster. The mob is also not necessarily an easy lifestyle despite what people may think.

But there are many jobs and vocations that also can and do also pull you away from your kids for long periods of time like long haul truckers, military, or guys with jobs oversees to name but a few. Those also separate you from your kids under the guise of 'business.'

But I take a little approach and different view when it comes to stool pigeons and rats.

In this life I believe that you should act like a man. And it takes many things in order to BE a man. One of which is that sometimes you need to do unpleasant things, and suck it up, which includes taking your medicine when you fuck up or make a mistake. Not shirking that responsibility onto the backs of others so that you can 'weasel' out of taking that medicine. Its called 'passing the buck' to the guy next to you because you don't have the backbone and balls (in plain English) to stand up and BE the man you're supposed to be!

And there is NO excuse in the world for NOT standing up like a man. I don't wanna hear 'oh well I have little kids and a wife at home so I can't go to jail and leave them without me.'
-
Because you know what? That OTHER guy who you're gonna rat on. He's got a young wife and little kids of his own at home who need him too! So stop the bullshit already!

These are all things that you should have thought about BEFORE you signed up to be a street guy. You KNEW this day might come. So don't be surprised if and when it does come.

Pack your toothbrush and surrender to the joint they assigned you to, and go do your fucking time like the man you're supposed to be! The man you professed to be!

End of story!

PS: And yes today the underworld is more treacherous and much less 'honorable' (if thats even the proper word) that years ago. But nothing has changed in that if you signed up for it, then live it! Don't strut around like a tough guy reaping the benefits, and then collapse like an accordion as soon as the shit hits the fan.

BE A FUCKING MAN!...... all these rats are an embarrassment for God's sakes!

Dillydolly,

I don't appreciate being called an ass kisser, chump, teachers pet, SNITCH, etc. I just look at the issue different than you. And I'm just talking about Pennisi, noone else. I'm 59 years old and I won't call you names like an 8 year old would.

Try doing 20 years in the military and never writing anyone up in 20 years. Good luck with that.

I had a guy show up drunk for a life saving mission urgent mission. By every regulation I should of finished his career w/one phone call. But I didn't. I covered it up and got it done a different way.

The reason I don't post much is people like you.

Stop glorifying rats and I won't call you those things. I appreciate your service though and I sure hope you're not a rat yourself.

You hide behind the children argument all the time, but that there is dumb. They rat, after not being forced into the life but choosing it, then they sent away friends who have kids to save their own ass---not their children's, theirs. They are selfish cowards, and if you want to argue children, a lot of kids have fathers in prison due to rats, many of whom have done worse crimes than the people they rat on!

We’re talking about Pennisi. He wasn’t facing any jail time. And a lot of us made big mistakes when we were younger and once your involved in murders and the mob there’s only two ways out. Death or ratting. Sometimes we make decisions when we’re younger and naïveté only to regret them later but what’s done is done and you can’t take it back. These people aren’t friends with each other. You don’t rip off your friends, constantly lie to them and secretly plot their murder...Lucky Luciano was a rat, it’s a rat life especially today. The code makes no sense, you can kill your “friends” and Enemies, you can steal from them, you can kill they’re family members but you can’t tell on them. That’s crossing the line. Especially when 90% of these guys tell atleast on they’re enemies... so many people are dry snitching on the competition it’s not even funny and if you don’t believe that then you have seen to many movies....Your talking about people that kill they’re own family members to get ahead...
