If the entire family leadership goes down it will b very interesting to c who winds up with the top spots. As far as younger guys go they cud b left out in the cold or they cud step up and really move thru the ranks fast. I guess we will just have to c how things play out

Dont they need someone else to collaborate Mark R, story in court? I think DeeDee in a good spot right now, being on the shelf, probably saved him...

Well to answer everyone's post's respectively, meaning in order, I feel that in Revere Anthony Spagnolo and The Lightbody's are going to get a burn from Mark churping. Anthony Spagnolo was close with Mark the last 10 years, since he was released in the Digiacomo case, so Mark should have something to tell the Feds about his current activities. The statewide grandjury that indicted Mark Rossetti, a few people called in on Gerald Sarro testified that the machines used in "The Bunker" that were illegal poker machines, were operated by the Lightbody's with Mark Rossetti's permission. "The Bunker" is Mark Rossetti's club and building, and the operator was Gerald Sarro. Now if Mark is used as a witness he can basically get the Lightbody's on illegal gambling with the machines. Also if he is a credible witness, Anthony Spagnolo, Carmen Dinunzio, Anthony Dinunzio, Darin Bufalino, Mike Prochilo Sr, Mike Prochilo Jr, Joseph Prochilo, Edward Harris, the Lightbody's, Peter Limone, Robert Deluca, William Angelesco, and Luigi "Baby Shack's" Manocchio I got to think are in trouble. The last men high ranking guys left on the street are Bobby Corozza, Pryce Quintina, Vinny Ferrara, Frederick Simone, and Vincent Gioacchini. The word is Giaocchini is completely shelved and is no longer respected as a soldier, he is a outcast. The guy that will step out is Bobby Corozza, but he currently has state charges pending against him. If he goes down, my guess then would be Ferrara, or someone in Providence like Anthony Parrillo. Now shifting again, I don't see Scarpelli, Giangrande, Lillo Fabo, and Sal Marino getting made until maybe Gregory Costa is elevated because that is originally who they worked for as associates. If Costa becomes a Capo, then they will be inducted to his Regime, this is of course depending on Billy Angelesco, but Mark might have goods on him. We'll see, hope that answers alot guys.

I hate to see the lightbodys go-Johnny did 10 already(there is a younger brother as well ...is he safe?). Lilo burned a lot of bridges when he teamed up with Tori and Johnny S(he and angelesco don't mix). What about Floramo-rosetti must have goods o. Them as well. Christ-an informant for ten years!!! Who is safe????That being said-if Vinny f stays out-LOOK OUT!!!! Vinny you know your stuff.

Yeah I do man I do. I dont know what Mark would have on the Floramo kids, I know he has things on the Lightbody's. David Lightbody is the legitemate one out of the three, I think he's fine.

I know the Floramos had poker machines themselves and there was a beef after the old man died and they had to give them up on a concession-there's Aldo been more than one sit-down over there clubs. The more I think about it- rosetti could really Wipeout 90% of the people in play...no??

Amazing how just one guy can take down so many people. Tough to understand how you could live in that life knowing you can't truly trust anyone.

And the bleep is starting to hit the fan. Once Kevin Cullen gets into it, things usually heat up.

Quote:
The FBI gets into bed with a suspected killer, on the dubious premise that he can give it information on other criminals, even though he is, by deed and reputation, far worse than any of the people he’s supposedly informing on.

Sound familiar? It should. It’s Whitey Bulger all over again. Except this time Mark Rossetti is Whitey Bulger. And this isn’t ancient history. It was going on until just last year, and is only now coming out.

Rossetti is a reputed caporegime in the Boston faction of the Mafia. He is a convicted armed robber and is awaiting trial on charges that he ran a loan sharking and heroin ring. He is considered a suspect in at least six unsolved homicides, according to multiple law enforcement officials."

That you did Barber, as did Vinnyboy. However, there were some names mentioned that no info was provided on.

bottom line is, these are dangerous people and i for one would stay away from, nor would i fuck with any of these guys from the East Boston/ Revere factions.

Sonny I agree with u. That's y I try to only speak about stuff that is publice knowlede on the site. Growing up where I did I know a lot more of these people than I have spoken about so far. I have heard a lot of stories, dirt and gossip that I won't share hear as I feel its wrong to air these guys dirty laundry. On a website like this I won't post a story about so and so unless its been documented in the press or let out by LE. Better safe than sorry

A US Rep. that participated in the investigation into the FBI's mishandling of Whitey Bulger has voiced similar concerns over the FBI's handling of Mark Rossetti

And here is a third one. Retired state police detectives that dealt with the Feds while pursuing Whitey feel like the Feds haven't learned a thing. Three articles in two days. The crap is hitting the fan in terms of the media and public perception of the FBI. How the FBI could go into bed with this guy after all the bad blood built up with the Whitey farce is unbelievable. Especially when he is most likely a key player in unsolved murders. He was the guy they should have been gunning for.

Dancer to answer your question, State affidavits revealed in 2006 that Carmen Dinunzio was the Underboss of the New England LCN and infurthering in the reports you will read that Billy Angelesco and Gregory Costa were "soldiers" in the LCN who reported to Carmen Dinunzio. Gregory Costa had "associates" who reported to him, and they were Sal Marino and John Scarpelli. They sold O.C's and ran a bookmaking business while paying "rent" to Costa, and Costa kicking up a percentage to Carmen Dinunzio. This is fact because of the reports, and also they are doing time for it, which makes it now fact.

Here is an article linking Costa to DiNunzio and organized crime. He also popped up when Scarpelli and Marino were arrested as the three of them went to shake down the guy at the 99.

Quote:
The indictment alleges that DiNunzio conspired to run an illegal gambling operation between September and December 2001 with four men, Joseph Settipane, Thomas Verona, James Candelino, and Gregory Costa.

Thanks Vinny. That's very interesting! I just never heard his name, that's all... I know what papers say, but as I'm sure you know, the police can make up whatever they want when it comes to that stuff. Is he currently in prison or still walking around?

Here is what I could find on the murder/hit in Candelino's in Somerville back in 2002. You have to pay for the full article though. I read that Eldridge was also an ex-con. I assume that this is either Joseph Candelino's bar or his family's. Being shot in the face is probably not an accident.....

Quote:
A 40-year-old Medford resident was identified yesterday as the man who was shot and killed in a Somerville eatery Tuesday night. Mark Eldridge was shot in the face as he sat at the bar inside Candelino's Continental Cafe on Somerville Avenue. His girlfriend, Ann Marie Pladziewicz, 41, who was shot in the back, was recovering

Verona and James Candelino are, and were down on State affidavits as bookmakers and rivals for their area of geographic operation. They are not really serious people, in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts vs. Carmen Dinunzio, all the serious people in that case got locked up, Carmen Dinunzio, Billy Angelesco, Gene Giangrande, Gregory Costa, Sal Marino, and John Scarpelli. The Underboss, 2 soldiers, and 3 rising stars within the Mafia in New England.

A Boston news writer postulates that Rossetti may have been working for the FBI for "something like 20 years" Apparantly it was that far back that the DEA had their eyes on Rossetti, but FBI Agent Mike Buckley (identified by the writer as Rossetti's handler) had them back off.
http://www.boston.com/news/local/massach...r_fbi_bungling/

Buckley was also on the team of agents who were later disgraced over their handling of the Bulger/Flemmi affair. In Flemmi's testimony, he identified Buckley as one of the agents that regularly accecpted gifts from he and Bulger, which Buckley denied.

State Police say they have Rossetti on tape catching up with his handler over forty times, and that when asked if Rossetti was a co-operator, the Bureau denied it.

The Bureau, for it's part insisted via press release (as it would) that employee's "did not engage in any inappropriate activity".

Smacks of the same tactics the Boston office had in play during the Bulger/Flemmi fiasco.

http://www.myfoxboston.com/dpp/news/undercover/fbi-informant-questions-linger-20110815

You know who I think about? Peter Limone. Guy does over 30 years for a murder he wasn't in on (despite being a well known gangster, none the less) 'cause an old mutt like H. Paul Rico had a hard-on for him. "Whaddya want, tears?"

If I was Peter Limone, Id make sure they note "time served" as a sentencing. Seriously, if I was a crabby old mobster that'd just done thirty years without bitching out, Id expect to be made Boss of the Family too.

Well the word is Mark Rossetti became very close with Peter Limone over the years, maybe since 2001 when Peter I believe was released. I have to think that Peter is going to get some kind of head ache out of what Mark has said about him. There were several murders and high organized criminal activity under Peter Limone's territory in Medford, Ma. I have to think Rossetti has something to do, or knows about what was, and is, going on over there. But is Mark credible? Is the FBI now credible for that matter?

If it's true that Rossetti has been an informant for years, then I think the FBI has given themselves another big black eye. Just a total lack of crdibility. And if he has bene informing, what has he given them that that allows him to remain out on the street?

Well for the majority of the time he was informing he did some time, like for the weapon possession where he got 51 months. Thats almost 5 years. But I think there is alot we don't know that has got to come out. Rumors are circulating Rossetti might have been paying off the Feds for information and thats how Robert Donati, a known FBI informant, was killed. Also I hear State Police recorded Mark ordering murders of rival street gang members who werent paying "rent," and ordering murders on rival Cosa Nostra members. So one has to say to themselves, if Mark Rossetti is ordering murders and he is an FBI informant, then he would have some kind of protection to do what he wanted and take everything over unscathed. There is going to be alot of trouble, and somehting is telling me the FBI are the ones in the most trouble.

A lot of MR codefendants in the 2011 case are happy about his fucked up relationship with the feds as it helps there lawyers build a entrapment defense
