Who was the mobster?, some guy nicknamed "The bug" or something like that wasn't it?

I agree, Casso is a rat.

Say what you will about guys like Carmine Persico and Bruno Indelicato but they are 100% cosa nostra, they didn't rat.

Casso and Massino were both gangsters on the wrong side of the law until it didn't suit their purpose anymore and they flipped.
Same goes for Bill Cutolo's son, he was a gangster until his Poppa got killed and he knew he couldn't do anything about it so he ran to the law expecting help and protection when both he and his father had always operated on the other side of law and order

Yep, 100% a rat. He got hosed on both ends- fellow mobsters and the feds. His wife was extorted a lot of money from a mobster, as he knew that nobody would come to her aid. This continued until she dropped dead. Gas got screwed since his biggest crime as a government witness was telling the truth about Sammy Gravano and a crooked FBI agent.

As far as his money is concerned....his biography didn't give exact figures, but it was a lot. He specialized in drugs and he would bring them in via shrimp trawlers and ship them
across the country in moving trucks. Guys like Sammy Gravano and Burt Kaplan were his wholesale customers.

He didn't even want to be a capo, let alone the boss, because he was making too much money and didn't want to be bogged down by settling disputes with other family members. He was content to report to the consigliere (Christy Tick) and be left alone to focus on his rackets.

In all fairness though, it was gravano's kids who were involved with the ecstasy ring. He just took the fall for them. But it's karma for the bad things he's done in that past so it evens out.

Not sure where you got that idea. Gravano was involved in the ring as well, not just his kids.

Why does everyone hate Bill Cutolo Jr so bad ? I mean at least he didn't kill Jackie DeRoss and Little Allie Boy when he had the chance. Like "Wild" Bill told his son : " I wish death before jail."

When murder machine came out in 1990 I beleive Casso hadn't flipped yet. So there was only speculation that Nino did it, but than Casso flipped in '94 and revealed it was the twins who did it at patty testas house. Casso wasn't a good witness as we have all come to see so but their really isn't a reason for him to lie with this, so most everyone buys the story the he gave.

Gaspipe is a real character. They really should do a movie on him and the Mafia Cops. I think it would be pretty good. DeNiro could play Casso.

Much as I like DeNiro, he's 70 years old and too old to play Gaspipe

Yeah it is weired, im sure the immediate aftermath of Demeo's murder they were still considered under Gaggi's thumb, but then in '84 everyone gets indicted so im sure they all layed low after that, than Gaggi gets convicted in '86 and goes to jail the twins don't. It was probably around that time they began to work for Casso as he says they were the shooters of that russian guy in June of '86, and also the shooters of the mistaken Nicky Guido in December of that year. They certinatley worked for Casso theirs pictures of the twins with him, Frank Lastorino, and some other bigwig and that was probably when he was underboss so if you're a couple associates from another family you just don't sit with the top guys from another family.

^Your pic is Christie Furnari right?

Bobby as hot as they were ,What do u think Casso the only one crazy unstable to get with them..do u think they were wanted by some other boss.
