Bowat also had a big amount of sit downs with Crea about a table at Rao's while they all were in prison.....pretty ridiculous. Absurd is more like it. Greg DePalma actually wanted to KILL Nicky LaSorsa---a guy he knew for half his life---in a similar beef . And I've posted this before, but I've eaten at Rao's twice in my life, and the food ain't all that special. It's the same family style, NY Italian that you'll find in Bamonte's in Williamsburg or Dominick's in the Bronx or Don Pepe's in Queens. The food in those places is just as good without any of the phony pretension and celebrity bullshit. True story .

Bowat Baratta was talked about quite a bit in D'Arco's new book. He says how he was a big time heroin dealer, he ate in all the best restaurants, and how D'Arco, Crea, and Daidone were planning to kill Bowat and Casso. D'Arco definitely has it out for Bowat and he incessantly during the book goes out of his way to insult him. Bowat's favorite restaurant apparently is Sandro's on the Upper East Side....I've never ate there. Funny how things turn around because later on it would be Lastorino, Zappola, and Conte who wanted to kill Crea. Bowat also had a big amount of sit downs with Crea about a table at Rao's while they all were in prison.....pretty ridiculous. Baratta has heroin related arrest going back something like 50 years, he's one of them guys very lucky to not be in prison for life. I think he was evev caught in prison setting up heroin deals. I've never heard of him doing hits for casso and amuso though.

George Zappola and George Conte both get out next year followed by Frank Papagni in 2015.
Coupled with Bowat and Lastorino I wonder if these changes will affect the landscape at all.
Should make for interesting viewing. Were all these guys skippers in Brooklyn ? Also is this the crew that is supposed to change the landscape in the Lucchese family. And if so i am sure that they have been in contact with Amuso through many that plot behind Crea's back. I am sure that most are happy with all being quiet, and making money,there are always the guys in this life that love the turmoil. Does anyone have any inside word from BK ,It has to be the the talk at the local Ginmill.....

I can't see crea choosing anyone from the Brooklyn faction as his underboss especially wen they were convicted of plotting to kill him , my bet is there counting there lucky stars there not dead and they haven't been shelved By the same token, Amuso overlooked Crea conspiring to kill him - probably because Crea is so enterprising.
I invoke my right under the 5th amendment of the United States constitution and decline to answer the question.

I mean, a few of them have been home awhile now. I'll bet they're gonna wait twenty years to make their move. Sicilian style! Never fucking happen. By the same token, Amuso overlooked Crea conspiring to kill him - probably because Crea is so enterprising. What else could Amuso do but overlook it? Unless you're buying into that Capeci article from last month. And I'm not judging you if you are. That's your right. But I stand by my own opinion that the only thing Vic is ordering from prison is Snickers bars from his commissary account.

Crea is not demanding much from Brooklyn. I think his thinking live and let live at the moment. Lot of these guys remembers what happened in the 80's and 90's and do not want a repeat of it, which would weaken the families if that started up again. That's true enough, but it's not just that. Brooklyn just doesn't have the horses. Period. Stevie has the complete support of the Westside because of their construction partnerships and all the money they whacked up through 282. Everyone from QD to Louie D to Barney himself loves the guy. That can not be understated.

how are we so sure Amuso likes Snickers? he always struck me as more of an M&M's guy......... that'd make for a great thread subject "what are mobsters favorite snacks?"
