They were under gallione.. And I'm not sure don't going ape shit if its not true but I heard the skipper they were under was george conti.. They must have made a fortune selling that free base back then when shit was booming.
I watched that "wiser guys" youtube clip.. Not talking shit but what a joke.. Sounds to me like group of guys sitting around talking about how they wish they were still in the streets and didn't all become rats.
The time period they were on the streets was pretty wild though with all the young idiots quick to shoot... All in brooklyn. Had all the bath ave guys who were around joe benanti and under spero..then you had the 20th ave colombo guys.. Big dino, little dino, joey caves. And that's just mentioning the light weights up and coming. Think of all the fucking lunatics around brooklyn late 80's-90's. Gas,zappola,conti-scarpa..
