Jimmy’s stories are legit

The ones I listened to..

Not sure why the fact that he was 23 when he got jammed up somehow counts against him.

Back then the older guys in the neighborhood were always recruiting the youngsters.

One of the reasons was because if you were under 16 when you got arrested
all that would happen was that a parent or a guardian had to do is pick you up at the police precinct and you were issued a ticket to appear in court.

So you were in and out and right back on the street most times within a few hours.

So the older guys would have the teenagers:

Sell Weed from weed spots.
Steal cars.
Break windows
Slash Tires

Etc….

At days end that’s how you got your start in the LCN farm team.

Some kids like the bath Ave boys because they had the backing of a homicidal maniac “Tommy Karate” and later Anthony Spero, ran with it.

They were full fledged mafia associates put on record and protected by the Bonanno Crime Family.

My point being he started out early but had more than just a couple of years on the street.

The Bath Ave Boys were ALOT of things mostly all bad and they all paid the price.
The one thing that they were not was “Fringe Players”

From what I seen Jimmy isn’t trying to say he was made like Larry Mazza, who never was, Jimmy isn’t saying that Gotti checked in with him before the Castalleno hit like Alite.

From what I seen and heard he came on the podcast and says I was nothing and is real humble about it.

Back in the day if you had a beef with the Bath Ave Boys you were afraid for your life,
If you weren’t part of a crew or associated with a crew that had shooters on deck so you could stand up to them.

You were running to someone you knew for protection to squash your beef with the Bath Ave Crew.
