This topic may have been brought up; but did
Carmine Persico or Little Allie Boy Persico know that Greg Scarpa was a “rat”??
Larry Mazza stated on Facebook that Carmine Persico knew for 20 years but turned a blind-eye.
I’m not a big Larry Mazza fan; but I would like some feedback!

I agree; I don’t believe a thing that comes out of Larry Mazza’s mouth…
I don’t care how capable Greg Scarpa was but I find it hard to believe that Persico would allow a “informant” to operate in his family for “20 years” as a “rat”.

This explanation makes a lot of sense. How could Persico *NOT* at least suspect that Scarpa had some sort of access to key people with such a massive body count and no heat? I'd tend to think this makes a lot of sense - don't ask any questions, and just accept the obvious benefits that are coming from the arrangement; the Grim Reaper is getting guys whacked and nobody seems to bee asking any questions about it. Makes Whitey Bulger's deal look like child's play. During his era 80’s early He was probably the most feared Gangster in Bensonhurst,
Even so there were rumblings of him being “NO-GOOD”
Do I think Persico knew for sure? No he did not
Did he know yeah
He had more bodies than anyone in the street And he had no cases against him.
Everyone knew that he had sources in L.E. as he didn’t try to hide it.
He was an in your face out there in the open with a HUGE CREW, it’s not like he was a low key old timer that stayed away and had no heat.
The logical conclusion was he was “NO-GOOD”
With all that said he was still kicking up money and And he was still killing people.
Everyone on the street knew that if you were working with the feds you couldn’t commit murder. So that gave everyone doubt.
Remember he was Orena’s first target Amount other things was suspected of being a rat.
That was a long time b4 it came out official.
