P.J. Works It Out His Way

Hot-headed turncoat mobster Nicholas (P.J.) Pisciotti is hiding in plain sight.

Pisciotti, 40, was such a good witness when he testified against acting Bonanno boss Vincent (Vinny Gorgeous) Basciano at his 2007 murder and racketeering trial that the feds are planning to bring him back for a repeat performance. P.J. is currently scheduled to take the stand again at Basciano’s upcoming murder trial where he faces capital punishment if found guilty.

For Pisciotti, it’s just all in a day’s work, or in his case, a work-out. Sources say that after serving less than two years in federal prison, P.J. spurned a new identity and relocation under the federal Witness Protection Program. Instead, he came straight back to his old haunts in New York. He currently resides in Manhattan where he owns real estate, and in New Jersey. He is also a budding entrepreneur with financial interests in several Synergy Fitness Centers in the metropolitan area.

Records also show that he purchased a 35-foot boat – named Synergy, of course – as well as luxurious $900,000 home for a longtime girl friend.

The only down side has been a bankruptcy filing for one of his gyms. But even there he’s the victim of circumstances, not bad judgment. Court filings show that he sought protection last year under federal bankruptcy laws, claiming that the city’s Second Avenue subway construction had dramatically reduced revenues at an upper East Side facility.

P.J. is clearly a guy who needs to work off his excess anger. In his 2007 testimony, Pisciotti explained that he defected to the feds when his Bonanno bosses sided with the Genovese family after he pummeled two rival mob associates, including a nephew of legendary capo Matthew (Matty The Horse) Ianniello. (left) The brawl took place in 2005 outside a Little Italy eatery. The underlying reason for the dispute? Mayor Bloomberg’s recently enacted smoking ban in restaurants.

According to court records, the fisticuffs erupted in the early morning hours of September 18, 2005 after a restaurant manager cited the smoking ban and complained that several members of Pisciotti’s party were jeopardizing the restaurant's license by lighting up.

Pisciotti insists he did not start the smoking-fueled assault, but admits finishing it by punching the daylights out of the restaurant’s manager. He also copped to another assault, this one a year earlier in which the victim was his ex-wife. Completing his violence-filled resume was the 1990s stabbing death of rival hoodlum Richard Guiga during a barroom brawl.

Pisciotti is expected to join turncoat Mafia boss Joe Massino and several other family stool pigeons and link Vinny Gorgeous to the 2004 murder of mob associate Randolph Pizzolo.

The trial is scheduled to begin later this month in Brooklyn Federal Court following a much longer than usual jury selection process stemming from the fact that Basciano, who is serving life without parole, could be executed if found guilty of Pizzolo’s murder, which took place a few days after Vinny Gorgeous was first jailed in 2004.

There is a rumor about John Veasey living a few hours outside Philly.

It would mot surprise me ,if he was living in Maryland or Virginia ! Curious were the other Phila informants are ? Iam sure they come back to visit family !

anyone have any idea what mickey featherstone has been up to?
