Hi everyone :)This is my first post and just want to say I love this site! I recived my copy of the Primetime Live interview (Walk with the devil: Former hitman talks) and i have to say it was very informative. Leonetti is to the point and of course tells all about Nicky Scarfo,Salvie Testa and how he basically turned to save his son from the life. He looks old as hell but thats because he is in full makeup and a grey wig very fascinating interview. Thanks

I think I remember seeing that on a&e this guy was saying he felt sick when sal testa was planning to be killed but nick caramandi says otherwise I didn't believe this bum for one second he was the underboss but scared shitless of his boss.

I saw that interview as well it was "Underboss" on A&E and he basically says the same thing on this interview with Forrest Sawyer he was just sick over planning the murder of his best friend Salvie and he was terrified of Scarfo and im like dude seriously that puzzles me I believe nicky crow when he says leonetti went along with the hit on testa smh!

I believe it when he did this interview he was in disguise walking around AC just talking about his life like really? Also he mentioned he was remarried to Vince Falcones girlfriend(well she was his girl before leonetti killed him) but he said he started seeing her two years after the hit.

Has anyone got the video of this interview?? Yeah Leonetti was obviously a ruthless SOB, despite how he may come across in interview.

Leonetti is obviously more polished than the Crow so he comes across as contrite and believable but I agree with you guys, once you read the Crow's book and pick up tid bits from other places, I definitely believe the Crow.

At least the Crow admits that he would like to get back to the old life, he says hes a nothing now. But with all the other turncoats, its all bullshit. Maybe Freselone would be in the same category with Crow.

I'll say one thing about Leonetti: I've read that he's one of the few "success stories" to enter that Government sanctioned abomination called Witness Protection.

In a recent article that I read, a longtime former Fed (Ed McDonald?) recently cited Leonetti and Mickey Featherstone as two guys who actually turned their lives around after entering the program.

Well, I guess 2 out of 20,000 ain't so bad rolleyes.

Yeah, I'm sure there are a few others. But for every Leonetti or Fresolone, there are a hundred Henry Hills and Sammy Gravanos, who go right back to dealing dope and ruining lives.

ya Leonetti is one of the rare rats to actually go straight however the only problem i have with guys like leonetti or gravano is that they walk away free without any punishment despite being murderers many times over

Freselone started his own floor cleaning business. And he actually ended up cleaning Cher's home out in LA, which was ironic, because he talked about being a big Cher fan in his book.
