Some Pics for the Gotti fans!

Pic host site deleted them, non registared 3 days limit wtf.

Are you in the concrete business?

No pizzaboy! I simply bartend for the resturant.

Oh, okay. I was just going by your username.

We had a mental patient here awhile back who claimed to be Fat Tony's grandson Dominic (even though Fat Tony didn't have a grandson named Dominic), and part of his fantasy was pretending that he was in the concrete business.

Cool username, though. Welcome to the board .

Those are some awesome pics calcestruzzo. In fact, they are the best i have ever seen. The pic with gotti in the leather jacket, he is in the middle and a guy has his arm around him. Wonder if thats a young john Carneglia..?
The pic of Gotti sitting in the back yard with 3 other guys; damn, Gotti looks like an artist or poet. He looks so harmless there..lol

Basciano's hair has gone seriously white in prison.

His hair's been grey for twenty years. But they don't allow Just for Men in Federal pens .

Nice pictures.

Damn, never seen that one with Sonny Black. I've seen other photos of him but it's difficult to put a face on him, but this one's clear as crystal. The other ones are great too. Good find!

I like the way men dressed back then. People were more masculine. Less in touch with their feelings - granted. But a lot more masculine.

Wow! These are great.

Where is this one taken at?Cant recognize anybody here.

Looks like Gene Gotti to me in the orange shirt. Is that a young Willie Boy that he has his arm around?

I actually think the guy in the orange is John, not Gene. The pic was probably taken in brooklyn, maybe east new york.
Actually that pic has nothing to do with Gotti. Its an old pic from the movie Greece. The guy in the white is Danny Zucco.

Could be Belmont. Do you think thats Willie Boy next to him?

Its definitely brooklyn and probably brownsville/ east new york. Thats what the buildings look like over there.
Willy boy? Maybe but not sure. The guy on the right of him could be Sal Ruggiero.

The pic of John in the leather jacket and a guy with his arm around him is not Carneglia.

Its logical it would be East NY because of the origins of the crew and John Gotti.Also looks like north Ozone park or woodhaven or even Cypress hill,Brooklyn.
It does look like Gene.Somewhere in the mid 6os,would you say so?

The picture at the dinner table. The bottom corner I think it's willie Johnson but to me it looks like frankie decicco

Without a doubt, the dinner table pic is willy boy.

Orange shirt is Gene Gotti, Behind him is Skinny Louie,Next to Gene is Joey Scopo, behind him is Foxie,next to him is Sal Ruggerio, in front of him is Willie chisel chin.

Bergin 1971

Calcestruzzo
The pic where they are sitting on the car is in Queens at the bergen?
Who are the 3 guys John is with when he is wearing the leather jacket?

Joey Scopo of the Colombos??Dosent look like Bergin Queens,maybe Bergen street,Ocean hill?

These are great..where did you come across these?

In that second picture, the one of the group at the dinner table, is that Mark Reiter standing on the far left?

The sonny black photo is great.. Also the very rare one of Ronald Foxy Jerothe is great.. Wish there was more info on Foxy.. In Sinatra Club there's a few good pics of him.. Polisi claims to have been best friends(crime partners) with him along with Gotti.. He also claims that Angelo Ruggerio and Gotti were devastated when Tommy Desimone whacked him but they couldn't do shit at the time cause he was with Vario

I don't think that is Reiter.

And wasn't Willie Boy Johnson supposed to be huge? Like 6 ft. 4 or 6 ft. 5?

These are all outa the new gotti jnr book

Well, that's a relief.

Because Geoff has had problems in the past with people hacking the Facebook accounts of friends and relatives of street guys, who then posted their photos here and claimed that they were from their "own personal collection." Legal threats, the whole nine yards.

And I haven't read either book, but so far I'd have to say that when it comes to pictures, Junior's book is winning .

Yes they are and yes that's def Reiter in pic at the dinner table

And now that I look at it again, that picture of Vinny, Angela and Joey Basciano is right out of the DeStefano book.

Still good pics, though.

Pizzaboy, you thought i was hacking wiseguys facebooks? lol


The jnr book is a pretty good read btw!

Don't be offended. It's just that Geoff's a friend of mine and it's happened before. There are some real crazies out there. You haven't been here very long, but you'll see soon enough .

That's all there was to it. Welcome to the board .

I'd buy the book for the pics alone.

jnrs prison crew.

I know Jr Gotti loves kids books since he used to write some himself but in adult books not every page needs an illustration picture.

Just kidding, it's just that a lot of these seem pretty irrelevant. Like the prison crew, I can't even spot Jr in that one. I guess he wanted to fill some extra pages.

Its a long book! Also that prison crew photo has a number of made guys in it!

Oh no don't get me wrong, these are great, thanks for posting them since not everybody has the book. I'm just saying there's a lot of them, we're not used to this many pics in most crime/mob books. Like the Alite photo, I bet he probably published that to insinuate that Alite was a closet homo, or prison gay or something.
How many pages is it anyway?

The Alite pic was not in jnrs book. Its from Alites.lol

Jnrs book is about 570 pages! Good Read!

Alites book is under 200 pages and its basically him trashing everyone!

The prison pic.. The older guy with the glasses next to jr is joey scoops licata( philly).

That is definitely Gene in the orange shirt on the first page. I don't think John is in it.

Some good pictures, nice to see

Anymore?

Great pics

Hey THANKS calcestruzzo!...... Where did you get these? Did you sneak into Gotti's attic?

Also, that first picture is the FIRST and ONLY picture that I have seen in focus of Sonny Black....Every other photo of him is from the side, blurry or, just makes him look like a different person in every photo. This one shows him very clear.

Yes great pics in that book,all private familly collections.None of that fbi type photos.If my old man was in the mob,and i was doing a book about it,I would puctures like that in too.After all pictures sell books too..
Does Gene have kids of his own?

Sonny Black seems to have his hand down the front of Gotti's pants...didn't realise the were so close!

Bottom left of the prison photo looks like Anthony Aiello, the Bonanno soldier.

just above him looks like Steve Mazzone

The picture of Jr. with Bobby Borriello makes me laugh. I see why they called him erkel, for puling his pants up so high. Very Funny. Are there really a lot of made guys in that prison photo or were you guys joking ?

so gotti was tight with sonny black it must sucks these guys new someone was gonna get clipped and couldnt do shit about it. that's what the lcn got over ever other gang or kkk type shit. there structure will last forever. ya no one followsthe rules but there still in the back of every guys head. jr gotti must be feeling different today. but that alite book sucks muthaafucking ass. thought sonny black dyed his hair?

In prison?

Even if he could get the dye smuggled in (and back then Greenhaven was actually a haven for corruption, so I'm sure he could have), why bother?

The guy, fifth from right in the prison photo, looks like Uncle Dracula from The Gemini Crew. The guy at the end on the right looks mentally retarded.

That's him. They must have crossed paths while Aiello was in for armed robbery.

Well we don't know when was the prison photo taken exactly.. we could have cross-checked it to confirm/deny our suspicions.

I thought the guy behind Gotti was Ace but then i saw the date of the photo and Ace had more hair in 2000 and i didn't know he was locked up in 2000 too. But you guys are right, he's the one kneeling in the front row.

Isn't that photo from a federal prison? I would of thought robbery would land you in a state pen.

It's labeled 2000.

If I remember right, the only lengthy bid that Ace did (besides the 25 years he's doing right now) was for the armed robbery. That was the late '90s. Junior was held in Valhalla until he made his plea in the Scores case, which was also the very late '90s. But Ace was home by '01 or '02. It would almost have to be 1999 or 2000.

Oh yeah, you're right... the 7 5"00 was a little confusing. Then no way it's Dracula. Most of those guys are pretty young, except for 2-3 whose hair has grayed.

Ace did that time Federal. I don't remember the specifics. But it was definitely Fed time. It had to be around '96 or '97 if you want to look it up somewhere.

Thinking back on it there are probably plenty of robbers doing fed time. Anything to do with a bank robbery among many other robbery type crimes. My mistake.

Is that a 2003-2004 pic? He's really lost weight compared to earlier decades when, he was like 300lbs.

It was 97, got out in 01. You know when Ace was made PB? Had to be young, he's only about 37 now.

Not too long before he went back in. But he was already made before the Pizzolo hit, so it had to around '04.

He got made young because he's another legacy. His father's doing a thousand years, too.

Gotti was a handsome guy. And he look like the boss in every pic. But that pic of him cross legged he looks soft all skinny to maybe he was in his crazy Joe gallo art poet faze.
