Jackie V is a friend of DB. He parties hard . Prob has been used as muscle over the years he is a very tough kid.

Mandracia's own the newbridge. The fathers were big book makers a hubdred years ago but the sons all went ligit.

Joey russo is a revere guy who got pinched a few years ago for bookmaking.

Joe the Barber is a old knock around guy. Think he is retired now he is well into his 70's. He did some time in the early 90's.

Jimmy Jones is a alias for Jimmy angiulo. He is the fifth brother and much younger than the rest. He did some time when his brothers got in trouble. He was living in FLA last i heard.

Franny white went away for racketering in 2003 and served a few years. He was released in 2007

Got some inside info on the State Police Investigation into Mark Rossetti. Apparently, the higher ups in the State Police knew Mark Rossetti was an FBI informant and was cooperating with the Feds and investigating other Captains and Soldiers. Again Apparently, we have a Bulger-Flemmi affect, most of the investigations the Staties began on cetain people reflected entirely around Mark Rossetti. Murders, shakedowns, drug trafficking, the investigators Nunzio Orlando and Pasquale Russolillo brought evidence in to the higher ups, and the higher ups in turn asked the Feds to take Rossetti off the streets. Orlando, like it was mentioned, tapped Rossetti's calls and heard him screaming out, "I want my fuckin money

you scumbag!" Who was the phone registered to, a man currently employed by the Federal Governmant whom the Staties went to see, and were told the news that their ace in the hole case compromised as a "High Echelon Informant." I can remeber a week before Mark was brought in, he was dining in the North End with Anthony Dinunzio, and Pasquale Russolillo went up to the pair and said to Mark, "Get ready because your next." And what did Mark reply, "Well Poopoo, if your LISTENING TO MY CALLS and watching me, you would know I'm not doin anything." Yeah all you were doin was ratting out guys who care for you, and would kill to protect you and your family, all on the FBI's dime. The Staties asked for his head, and they got him,....

congrats to them. It's going to be interesting to see who is next to be indicted, and what is going to stick. Who would a jury believe, a pack of known wiseguys, or a full fledged wiseguy- killer, extortionist, heroin addict, who was looking at 20 years to life if he didnt sing the blues. I'd go with the pack of wiseguys just for moral sake.

Hey Vinny, anything on these characters ?
Johnny Festa, Frankie Ciampa, Greg and Spanky Baliro, Joey Russo,Frankie Martorano, Charlie and Johnny Lightbody, Tommy Calli, Franny White, Vinny Jackson,Joe Pingaro, Jimmy Dakotis, Dom Serino (Sr. or Jr. ??), Bill Baliro, Johnny Visone, Carl DeMarco, Tommy Rossi, Bobby Kelley, Joe Ruggerio, Bobby Alvino, Johnny Fagone, Paul and Biggie Mattarese, Bobby Luisi, Jimmy Jones, Joe Barber, also, ever hear of anybody named Pat Cadillac, Fabiano, and a guy they call "the Blur?"

I think you are dead on Vinny. This guy is a real scumbag and Mikey P is a fighter, he will go trial if he needs to. Do you have any idea when this is going to become public? I hear there is a hearing on Aug 1st.

Vinny, Chico etc...
Sorry if I repeated some names, I used copy and paste - wanted to get my 10th post on here so I could get "upped." ;-)

Update!

In the old days the Boston Mafia would have sniffed out this rat long ago, however these days they seem to be too ignorant to do their homework. And that ignorance is going to help bring down a lot of people.

The incriminating paperwork on Mark Rossetti cooperating with the FBI has not been released to the public yet but soon will be, however this is no excuse for the mafia. If they dug a little into his past conviction they would have seen all the RED FLAGS.

I recently viewed his PRE SENTENCING INVESTIGATION REPORT done by US Department of Probation for his Felon in Possession conviction from 2001 and it is very telling indeed.

First of all I was there with him and John Pedoto the night he got arrested for the gun on Revere beach outside Shipwreck lounge in 1999. He told people that John P set him up. This is impossible due to the fact that Mark bailed out of Revere police station that night under his brother Brians name. If he got set up how could he bail out under his brothers name? Secondly, he went on the run after that and got indicted by the feds on that charge. When he finally did get picked up a year later it was because the DEA was running surveillance at a known drug house in Worcester. They pulled him over and he gave them a Florida License in a different name that lead to no one. They suspected him of buying drugs and they searched the car where they found 50 bags of heroin in between the drivers seat and the console. They brought him in and fingerprinted him. Once they found out who he was they handed him over to the feds. He was NEVER CHARGED WITH THE HEROIN OR THE FALSE ID.

All of this happened when he was out on bail. Now the PSI report recommends that he serve 62 months on the FELON IN POSSESSION charge. A guy with his Mafia pedigree would not get any special treatment in court however he ultimately got a sentence of 51 months which is not out of the realm of possibilities but still this should have had the Mafia questioning it and if they questioned it they might have noticed one line from the US attorneys sentence recommendation that states "we believe that Rossetti should receive a sentence of 51 months due to his timely acceptance of resposiblity AND OTHER INFORMATION KNOWN TO THE US ATTORNEY AT THIS TIME." Now that last line speaks volumes.

No where in my PSI does it say anthing like that. This guy being who he is should have gotten charged with the heroin, with the fake ID and he also fit the criteria for ARMED CAREER CRIMINAL wich would have put him away for 20 years.

HOW THE MAFIA DID NOT BOTHER TO LOOK AT THIS PUBLIC RECORD IS PROOF POSITIVE THAT THEY ARE STUPD AND OR LAZY. They really have lost their edge, just like I explain in my new book DIRTY MONEY.

Now because of their lazyness some good guys have to suffer. GIVE IT UP, ITS OVER. GET A JOB OR EVEN BETTER, WRITE A BOOK.......

Vinny what's up over there in eastie these days. Who is running there show?? Any word on who the new capo or acting capo is?? I haven't heard anything so far

Johnny festa is an EB guy who served alot of time for 2nd degree murder and was a bad junkie for years, he now runs a sober house on trenton st EB.

I don't know, nothing has been annouced and there is no word on the street. Like I said there are two guys who I think are running the LCN activities in East Boston, but I dont want to mention their names, and to be quite honest, I think they were running things in East Boston not Mark Rossetti. But it will all come out August 1st.

VinnyG in yur opinoin who are the biggest young players in the game right now ???

"Sparky, Spunky" is Spucky

Biggie is Bobby Russo

Paul runs a trucking company in revere

I dig that blog bostonmob. Joe LaFratta's son, on the periphery of the mob and writing about it. I didn't realise there was a guy like this in the Boston Family.

Me too, it's pretty funny and informative.

This Lafratta is a ragbagger, he's a nobody. Anyway folks today is a motion day for the 31 co-defendants indicted alongside Mark Rossetti. let's see what happens and what is said. Today could be a judgment day.

Vinny you "somewhat of an insider" I did time with Mark and all these guys. Kids like you crack me up. What did you do a weekend in South Bay? "Ragbagger"? I bet you never saw 5grand in one place. The whole idea of doing things illegal is stay unknown. You sound like you would go bad in 2 seconds if you got pinched but you only know about other peoples stories. You most likely never did anything yourself. You're a mob groupie. Just keep reading my blog and please buy the book. You can pass my stories off as your own.....

All due respect, Joe, it's a lot safer being a mob groupie than an actual associate, no? But to each their own.

Yeah Joe, I talked to a high up guys the other day, and these guy's are all asking qoute "Who is this dope Joe Lafratta?" Then for saying these guys are "stupid," One guy said if he sees you, no matter where you are, he's going to drop you on the spot. Your a fuckin moron goin on Fox News with Mike Beudet and now writing a book, YOUR A NOBODY! If made guys dont know who you are then that leaves it at that. I dont give a fuck you did time that means nothin that means you were caught and your "stupid." By the way you cant talk to me or look at me if 5grand is involved that chump change you fa***t poser. What do you know about the guys around here, your dealin with some gerbal named Christpher Rich, ooohhh myyyy goood! Big time gangster and politician. Maybe you should have auditioned for Board Walk Empire. Do me and the rest of us a favor, dont post all we're going to do is laugh you wannabe.

I'm laughing at both of you!

Scary stuff Vinny. I'm around if you or your "high ups" need to get something off your chests. You have to be either a cop or from EB. Gerbil not "gerbal". Retard.

Take this crap off the boards. Now.

Ok boys let's calm it down a little. We finally have a good boston thread going on here . No reason to ruin it. Let's face facts some of us have grown up around some of these guys and have more info than some others but no1 on here is a gangster. So let's chill out with all the tough guy shit and move on

I know it's scary it should be. "I did time with Mark Rossetti," are you a junkie like Mark? You seem desperate to make money with your ficticious book. By the way you made insinuations that I would rat if arrested, the only way you could get that info on Rosetti in the Revere and Woburn arrest's would be to talk to the law. So you have a relationship with law enforcement, your a rat, just as much as Rosetti. Keep talkin and making a fool of yourself, you being on this site has tainted my ability to further post. Sorry everyone but you will not be hearing from me anymore listen to this fuckin moron, im done.

You guys won't be told again..... stop the pissing contest now!

VinnyG yur opinoins here along with your profiles r well respected. Don't stop posting on account of this

im sorry for the foul language everyone it is wrong, but I can no longer post because of this guy, I think he's a fraud and he's too friendly with the law, I have my sources.

sorry Barber and sorry SC.

Vinny Bramante please don't go on my behalf. The stuff about Mark is in his PSI. You can walk into federal court right now and get a copy of it. If you ever had dealings in court you would know that. And the Revere case I happened to be standing right there when the law showed up and I talked to him after he got out of Revere police station. You're putting everyones business on this site. I only talk about Mark because he's a rat. I'll be in EB tonight. What's up? Call me a rat to my face you PUNK.
