Yeah, which is why I'm asking for verification... Him getting involved in the life would be so, so stupid. The Feds would be gunning for him.

his dad is on tape saying he made him-he's been walking around w made guys for a minute now.....he's on a list here somewhere of made guys. He's made-has been for a few years.

Made or not he has been involved in the life. In just the last few years he has been in two separate busts - a bookmaking bust and another for marijuana trafficking.

Absolutely, he's not a Saint. But he's never been indicted as a made guy. And you'e pretty big on that stuff (goverment reports and indictments). So it's hard for you to have it both ways.

In a Family that had rat after rat ten year ago, Cicale was the ONLY one to name Little Vinny as made. Sure, there have been clandestine makings in the past. But not in this case.

But again, you're right. He has multiple arrests. I never claimed that he was a choirboy. I just pray that for the sake of his Mother that he and Stephen have learned their lesson. The kid Joey looks great. He's working and doing his Mother proud. Fact.

I grew up with Joey, high school, friends with the family, all of that. Excuse my language but who the f - - - are you to be divulging info on this family at a time when several of them are locked up. If Vinny was on the street you would NEVER talk about his family on an internet site. The old timers always told me " when you go away the rats will come out of the woodwork and denigrate your family and your name". Sickening to me really/

none of the son's are made either

P.B hang in there pal, tuo Padre e nelle mie preghiere.

Talk about LCN till the cows come home pal, I have no issue with that. Is Vinnys wife also LCN ? Did she get her finger pricked? none of the son's are made either. Just becuase you can do something, doesnt mean its the right thing to do. Like i said if u grew up in any kind of italian nbhood youd understand that.

Some of u lot r just as bad indulging these assholes , if u just ignore them they r arguing with themselves , they will eventually get bored and fuck off , by keep indulging them they will keep coming back . Just don't reply or comment on there shit

Also, if he actually went to school with the Basciano kid he would know the names of the schools. That's the kind of thing google can't tell him. So maybe he could prove he is who he claims by posting the school names.

Danny's last name was Latella. He's dead now. There's a story about him that's well documented in the media, so I'll tell it. You could probably find it with a Google search anyway. But he took a pinch about twenty years ago for smoking crack in a Super 8 motel with a Black hooker.

Now keep in mind that not only was he a made guy, but he was an acting captain himself for about five minutes. He was huge in Parkchester. He pretty much had that section of Westchester Avenue all to himself. Needless to say, it was pretty embarrassing for him. He got put on the shelf for awhile. And even afterwards, he was never the same.

They're both dead so it doesn't matter. But he was around Danny Squire. He had an office at the old Riddler's on Westchester Avenue.

Does anyone know how this racket works and how much money it makes?Its supposed to be big in Philly.

Ugh. We should close the GBB bokks for a while.

I'm running around like crazy with my Dad today, two different hospitals for four different tests

My grandfather I have left is suffering from dementia,bad heart and now Parkinson's, been going on for about 2.5 years. Up until bout a year ago he could hold a convo but would get confused after a bit, now can't do that or even walk not a way to go out especially because I'm sure like so many of his generation he works til he physically couldn't, and he was always so loud and jovial and outgoing it's hard to imagine a man like that so helpless. My parents are both turning 60 and while still in good health I notice the small things and them slowing down a bit. Idk how I'm going to deal with tem aging and the issues that are sure to come with that even as a grown man I still look up to my dad so much as does every male in the family, he is truly the patriarch. Never has he once let me down or not been there for me or anyone else in my family. He is solid as a rock, sorry for the tangent
