Good question.

I'd think his reputation would be on the line. But as an old guy who is about to retire (I don't think he's a kid, he's been around a long time) he may not give a fuck and did a favor.

Either that, or he's the worst fucking reporter in recent decades. How do you NOT vet (a front-page headline) no less that is as explosive as that. Calling a mob boss a rat when he isn't one.

If Junior was still on the streets, this is the type of jerk off that would get baseball batted one evening. Junior would take this VERY personally I assure you!

Completely irresponsible journalism.

Junior would probably have that done to McShane but you don't touch cops , reporters, or lawyers unless they are in over their heads. Junior has stepped over that line because he's been mainly in jail since 71 and has nothing to lose. He was selfish and he brought the rest of the family down with him including his son who is doing life. Junior was a true gangster but he was dumb as shit. All balls and no brains at all.


I 1000% agree with you on that. Extremely ballsy, but he completely fucked up that borgata and got a ton of guys hurt in the process over the years. Its a damn shame what he almost singlehandedly did to that crew.

Thats one of the main reasons why on more than one occasion guys looked to overthrow him. But he was a tough fuck, you gotta give me that much!

On that matter I also agree 100%. Junior was tough and had a deep crew. If it were t for Scarpa and the Feds the war would have turned out differently. But God damn the Orena faction outnumbered them 100 to 30. Even with help from the Feds they should have won. If I was Orena I would have put Waverly and Cutulo in charge ofmy hit crews. I would have put Waverly in charge of the Hit on Scarpa in 91.
