LOL. Various projects from New York to LA. More like living in the fucking projects.

This guy has serious delusions of grandeur.

Those vids are atrocious

I did read where this guy blamed vinny for getting pinched and he claims vinny owed him $1m due to vinny's gambling. Also that vinny scammed a large piece of the Lufthansa heist that was left to Burke' s daughter .

Who knows what to believe after watching that vid , what a clown

Maybe an ambitious associate will do us a favor and give Cicale a few extra holes in his head for ventilation

in philly, bent finger jew deserves the same treatment

maybe even throw that fat fuck ron previte in the mix

he said on twitter he is filming his reality show now

christ

Called it!

sure did, and I know you DON'T read twitter

Go Tweet yourself, Cheech .

hahaah i just tried, got stuck

About vinny killing the guy who threatend his son the guy was a dangerous and a junkie he probably would of been a problem.Also when vinny had pizzolo whacked that guy apparently was a psycho who didnt give a fuck that was a boss he also and also shook down and fucked over alot of people

New York Post had story that Cicale sent letter to judge asking for leniency for Basciano's son. The irony...

Pizza of all the heavy guys in the bronx was vinnie considered among the heaviest? He was a soldier for most of his career and had a very short run in higher positions. Compared to the genovese and luchese guys in the bronx.

Not really. Sure, when he became boss he was among the heaviest guys because he was the boss lol. But when he was on the street as a soldier, there were tons of guys in other families still on the street.

I mean, Angelo Prisco (Genovese), Joey Giampa (Lucchese) and Louie Ricco (Gambino) were all on the street for most of the '90s (on and off anyway, they all did some time back then). And back in the '90s, he had to contend with Patty DeFillippo in his own family.

I just cited those guys to give an example in each family (no Colombos in the Bronx). But there were other soldiers and skippers heavier than Vinny back then, too.

But like I said, when he got the nod as boss, he was the actual head of a family, so he had plenty of power and respect. He did end up having a short run, though.

Just being curious: how many hits is Basciano alleged to have been involved? He is convicted for 2, were there any others? And how was he made, was it "traditionally" through a hit or was it like with Jerry Angiulo, for being a good earner?

Pizza, I know the term heavy gets thrown around a lot, but what does it mean in your opinion? And please don't say it has something to do with waist size LOL.

Also, why would he have to "contend" with some of these other guys. Was just always curious how these guys all co-exist and deal with each other. Thanks.

Yeah, that's a pretty subjective term. I rarely use it myself, but that's how Italian Forever phrased it, so that's how I replied.

Like I said, it's subjective. But there are guys who never even got their buttons who would be considered "heavy," or "serious" guys. Depends how you mean it, though .


He wouldn't. That may have been a poor choice of words on my part. But there was no love lost between Vinny and Patty D. It's well documented, and you don't have to live here to read about it.


I think Vinny got along well with guys in the other families. Prisco liked him a lot from what I remember.

That he didn't get along with Patty, within his own family, probably had more to do with the fact that Patty brought him along, and Vinny got a little too big. A case of the teacher envying the student, if you will.

There's a lot of envy and jealousy among these guys. Don't let anyone kid you .

I hear you. I usually am the last person to throw around street slang like "westside" and "uptown" and "harlem" because Im just a shmuck from central jersey. That being said, for what I was trying to convey, i felt the word "heavy" most concisely got my question across.

I gotcha, pal. And you're not a schmuck .

Stephen Basciano sentenced to three and a half years earlier today-

http://m.nydailynews.com/new-york/nyc-crime/son-mob-boss-father-prison-article-1.1921873

Not bad.

It's fucking absurd. If they weren't Vinny's kids they would have gotten a global plea for 16 months. Tops. And none of this ever would have made the papers. Little Vinny has another adjournment. But he's gonna get hammered, too.

The only bright side for Stephen is that he has ten months time served already. But they're gonna max him out at least 90 percent. So he has about 26 months to go from right now. And they have a hard-on for this kid, so look for the BOP to send him far away from New York. No way he gets to do his time at the MDC or MCC. Ordinarily, he'd be a candidate for FCI Danbury. But there are a bunch of Bonanno guys up there right now, so I doubt that will happen.

It's really not that bad considering it was allegedly cali stuff and allegedly going on for a min and allegedly some serious dough coulda been made.

What happened to that broad who used to post here that was a Basciano groupie ?? She thought he was a great guy because he bought someone she knows a toaster...Yes a toaster !!!

I wonder how she views him now, getting his kids involved in this nonsense !!!

Is Stephen the guy who hit someone in the face with a brick or was that a younger brother?

A Liverpool fan did that to a Bulgarian waiter when Liverpool were playing abroad about 10 years ago. He got done for attempted murder.

Hit someone in the face with a brick and you are going to do some serious damage.

These mobsters earn enough money to invest in their kids futures and encourage them to go down the right path.

Look at Nino Gaggi. His children have respectable jobs. Paul Castellano too. I think Vic Amuso's daughter is a teacher. It can be done.

I have a toaster already but it's getting pretty old. I mean it still works but I would gladly accept a new one.

lol....Yeah, I guess if Basciano buy's me a new toaster i'll change my opinion of him !!

Big Vin did not get his kids "involved", actually he told them quite the opposite . You don't know the relationship these kids had with their father or family. Just like any family, kids can stray the wrong way for whatever reason and make mistakes. Some will learn their lesson and some unfortunately do not. They are not "bad" kids and will work hard at overcoming the mistakes. So before you make a comment like that , know your facts.

Stephen did not use a "brick" on anyone . more false info... I guess people would rather stick to the made up stories than know the facts that were proven in court, why.. cause its more interesting? bla bla bla

He was cleared of the charge with the brick because it was all fabricated by the victim. He was found innocent of them claiming it was a brick because that's what they were told to say by police. http://nypost.com/2007/02/23/mob-son-took-my-head-off/

It doesn't say anything about the police encouraging the victim to lie or Stephen being cleared of hitting him with a brick. It couldn't be proven what he hit him with.

You are curiously defensive of the instigator of this assault - who has just been sent to jail for another separate indiscretion.

Anyways, hopefully he can keep his nose clean when he gets out. It's not like he killed anybody.
