Btw under appreciated gangster to the core

Do Be Talking about something you Shouldn't be Talking About The Last Voice you wanna HEAR is your Own on a Wire - William (Wild Bill) Cutolo

Thats a great quote (and so true) lol

“He was arrogant. He called me a name to my face," Balistrieri reportedly said. "Now they can’t find his skin.” ~ Milwaukee Boss, Frank (Frankie Bal) Balistrieri

“He can’t be dead, he owes me $11,000!!!” wiretap of Gennaro Angiulo, or Jerry, underboss of the Patriarca Family.

“You think I need tough guys? I need intelligent tough guys!” I think this was also Jerry Angiulo.

John Gotti talking to Victoria about Son-in-law Carmine Agnello.whom he considered to be an idiot:
"Does he get in the back seat of his car and think somebody stole the steering wheel ?"

Dick-Head was just looking for a horn to beep :-)

“I am very very relieved to have this behind me,” Gold said as he and his wife Ronnie left the Metro Courthouse hand-in-hand. ‘I’ve had a very very bright and wonderful past. I am looking forward to having the same kind of future.’” ~ Brooklyn District Attorney Eugene Gold (of the widely publicized “Gold Bug” fame for setting up surveillance of Lucchese capo Paul Vario)) after the disgraced D.A. was released on probation for molesting a 10-year old girl during a Conference for District Attorneys in Tennessee in 1983. Gold was 59 years old at the time and charged with aggravated rape.

This one really burns my ass. Gold molested his victim on at least 2 separate occasions. He got out on a 50,000 dollar bond,and upon conviction drew 2 years probation.
The victim's father (another DA) agreed to the sentence to save his daughter the ordeal of a trial.

Can you imagine if this piece of sh#t was prosecuting this case against an ordinary citizen?
I'm sure he would yell and scream about emotional scarring,the taking of innocence,and the danger to society of letting someone like this escape jail time.
The guy would probably be coming up for parole around now.

This D.A. Eugene Gold turned out to be a real degenerate (and although when he first get charged, the case was initially publicized in the media. For the most part they quickly swept it under the rug.) How about Nassau D.A. William Cahn? He was another phony who eventually got arrested for his own crimes and fraud against the public.

They both got slaps on the wrists. These are crime fighters? Lol. After all their bullshit and postering, and putting everybody and anybody they could behind bars (giving no breaks to anyone,) they should have gotten hung (especially the child molester.)

I'm paraphrasing probably, but this is a classic: "Paulie was the type of guy who if you offered him a million dollars, he'd turn you down and try to figure out a way to steal it from you." I like this because it captures the very essence of how a true wiseguy thinks.

Here's a question for the forum: When a loanshark gets whacked, does his customers breathe a sigh of relief?

Until the next guy who inherits his book shows up to collect his vig. LOL

I'm paraphrasing of course, but I remember this from a book:

Hitman #1: Oh goddamn, the motherfucker pissed on me!

Hitman # 2: Count yourself lucky, sometimes they shit.

“When I was a kid, I asked God for a bike. But I know he don’t work that way…So I stole one, and asked for his forgiveness.” ~ Frank Costello
