I wonder if he's gonna fall back into his old habits and start shaking guys down with his version of the Tick Special.

"Where's the money, Norman? You have the money to enter executive card games and buy your cheap floozy secretary a Mercedes but you don't wanna pay up what you owe, you're in for €3,000 already. What's the matta with you? Don't you hear what happens to people who don't wanna pay?"

Please God, no. Give me more time!

"Carmine, get my catheter."

Not that. Anything but that.

"You're gonna swallow every drop if you don't conjure $3,000 by the time they loosen my britches."

At the time of his release on June 23, 2017, he was the oldest federal prisoner in the United States and the only centenarian in federal custody.

Where is that picture taken, if you know Hollander? Looks like Greenpoint/Williamsburg judging by the luxury condos behind him.

Can't believe he is still in the old neighborhood.

You do realize he raped women, murdered people and extorted hardworking people for a living, while raising his children to be criminals and drug addicts?

The American dream!

^^ He should've rotted in prison until he died. Obviously he never learned his lesson. "Sorry kids, great-grandpa is going back to prison for shaking down a strip joint." Get the fuck out of here.

He's a relic from the past. One of the last standup guys. Never ratted and if you didn't grow up around any of these guys you wouldn't understand. I'm from Chitown but still knew plenty of them. The life was the life. It's was a path out of poverty for these guys.

Think about it this guy was likely an errand boy for Profaci in the 20's and early 30's.

Like him or not he's a part of American history and a true mafia guy. His son only got into the the life cause he idolized his father.

I do wonder what he thinks about his son giving up the life. Although he never really ratted Michael certainly broke omertà.

And what I find really odd about this guy is he was only convicted once in 67 for bank robbery and ever since he's been locked up for parole violations.

Is raping women part of the life?

Furnari and Franzese both did that and were higher echelon mobsters so that suggests a tolerance of sexual crimes within the mob.

And nobody is forced into doing anything. You forge your own path in life. Nobody forces you to rape, extort and pillage for a living.

There are plenty of people who overcome worse than what Franzese did to become doctors and shit.

Whatever you say it was a different time and era. This guy grew up in the Great Depression, things were a bit different back then. Hell things were a lot different when I was growing up in the late 70's. Quite easy to get sucked in and charmed by the life these guys led. Glad I chose a different path but understand it.

As simple as being a kid looking to make a few bucks taking bets on the numbers game, next thing you know your a bookie or working for one, and connected.

Either way this guy is a relic from a time that has passed. And his last parole violation was a joke. Who the fuck is worried about being extorted by a 90+ year old man. Lol

Moe doesn't get enough attention at home so he spends his time on here trying to tell us how we should feel. Typical self serving attitude. GTFOH

No joke. Didn't they say he was blind and deaf and in a wheel chair? Of course they always go overboard with the problems to try and get them a compassionate release.

Gotta respect the dude, he did his time, even when it was thought he would NOT live out this sentence.

Once again, he raped a woman.

And he's a repeat recidivist.

The person quoted in the article said that he got away with a lot of things he should have been in prison for life for anyway, so fuck him.

You're telling me people like him are forced into lives of crime because they couldn't find jobs in New York?

The reason the mafia thrived in NY is precisely because it's a haven for blue collar employment and always has been.

I swear if there was baseball cards and stickers featuring mobsters some of you guys would trade them like Pokemon.

Joey Merlino baseball card would be like Mickey Mantle.

I find the mafia fascinating.

I also find WW2 history fascinating.

Doesn't mean I talk about what a great guy Goebbels was.

Last I checked, nobody asked for your opinion of him. Nobody here cares what you think.

If you find the mafia fascinating, then shut the fuck up or actually contribute something other than the SAME OLD boring ass comments that come from you in these threads.

Nobody is glorifying the guy. He's a murderer and I'm sure nobody you wanted to cross in his day. His days have long since passed. He has no crew or power, he's a relic from the past.

But as I said growing up in Chicago I saw the same type of thing where the "life" was a decent option. I imagine it was the best option in his time, the depression, coming over on a boat, or being born into the shithole that NY must have been in that day. It is what it is, and the members commanded respect. That was certainly appealing to many kids hoping to find their next meal.

What astonishes me is why anyone in today's world would consider it when quite likely your going to end up spending most of your life in jail and the old scams are basically history. Hell go to school and become a Wall Street crook.
