according to the BOP this man is dues to relesea in september of this yearr i was on the impression that he got life sentence, he probably got his case overturn, or gettin out cuz poor health.

maybe he will be the new luchese boss

Tick's lucky that Anthony Casso is doing life or else he would be a dead man, because there is nothing Gaspipe hates more than a rapist...... oh wait.

If he was really guilty of rape back then, then I think he should never have been free since that conviction.
On the other hand, somewhere I read he wasn't yet the family consigliere when Galante was killed, so why was he convicted on that count also? What was his role exactly in the Galante hit?

They must have reduced it because it used to be 2040-something. If he makes it out, he will be the only "leadership" guy from the Commission trial to step on free ground since the sentencing. Maybe it has to do with health reasons.

that what i was thinkin hes 90 yrs old, and also Rusty the old bonnano boss was parole for health reason 3 days later he drop dead so, probably furnari is close to deaths door.

He just happened to be on the Commission when they were all charged. Him not being in a leadership position at the time of the Galante murder was noted but made no difference in the end as he still got nailed with the other racketeering charges. A sort of guilt by association.

The BOP is a little more lenient towards prisoners with health problems that have already served a significant portion of their sentence. If he would have been arrested even five years ago he would never have been let out.

yes i know that does happen,i been there it will be interesting to see if they let The Snake ( carmine Persico? out of his cage

Wow read yrs ago the surpreme court said he was to do life. He must be in a halfhouse. Legend rape or not. He was there power in bk.

I doubt it. The guys' relatives still have an iron grip over that family. No way is he getting out. If he was 100 and released from prison he would still rule that family and the BOP knows that.

yep ur right about that the Persicos they all jail birds,if the Tick does get out hes gonna take it easy i doubt hell go back to his old scheme life

If he is getting out of federal prison early, he must be a very sick man, so it's extremely unlikely he will be anything but confined to his home or a hospital/nursing facility.

like i wrote earlir it appears like hes close to deaths door

Furnari health is declining fast it seems, it will be just like Rastelli when he gets out. I don't think he will last that long once he is released. As for Persico, they won't let him out, BOP knows what he will be up to if released from prison.

Wow.

Release Date: 09/19/2014

90yrs old.

Figuring he wont be making a power play

But notable, one of the originals getting out. Who'd have thought?

He must be at death door to be getting out,29 years out of a 100 year sentence.

Christy Tick survived!!!

so if he gets out in 2 months hes already in a halfway house other then Bruno ide. he the only guy left from the real commission. some one posted the rape article on him check the search. it was weird it was him an like 5 other guys charged with raping a girl in the 40tys he was 18 I think. but I like to read and in the 60tys profaci used him as a hitman taking out the gallo gang according to greg scarpa snitching. the great writer capeci wrote yrs ago that he would die in jail not for nothing but I see some old 90ty year old brain works body no. would be surprised if some of the demeo gang get out 1day. they let the old boston boss jerry out early from his 45yr sentence and he lived inhis big mansion on the ocean for 2yrs guess the feds don't like paying for kidney dialsis. fucking botched that last word. dialasis dyadlisi.

A lot of "lifers" are being released from prison due to severe over crowding. Vice did a pretty good report on this about a month ago. I'd be willing to bet that this is the case with Luchesse. He's in his 90's, chances of recidivism are probably nonexistent, he's got another few years of life left at best.

It's kind of a bittersweet situation, really, to finally get a taste of freedom at the very end of your life, at a time when you'll least enjoy it. hehe.

Anyone know how long ago this was taken?

Prob late 90's early 2000

@slumpy:
Recidivism rate at 90 has to be fuck all. Unless your name ends in Franzese....

The guy seems like a major creep. Not sure if I read wrong on another thread but it said him and 6 guys raped one girl? Surprised he ever got made with that on his rap sheet.

Careful, buddy. You don't want to ruin anyone's fantasy about him being a Robin Hood type who was only out to protect the neighborhood from outsiders .

Yeah surprisingly there is actually a decent amount of made guys who have been convicted for rape, Paul Vario is an example. Although saying that, I did see a webpage a while back that listed the criminal records of almost all the members of Colombo family and only noticed one guy who had been convicted of rape so maybe those guys are just the very small minority.

I do agree though, Funari looks like a bit of a creep.

I read that about Vario, funny how they didn't mention that in goodfellas ain't it?

Pretty sure Sonny Franzese got charged with rape way back.

Yeah I've heard that also tommy
