This is like God's Christmas present to the world.

Wow, that's big news...

He kind of got lucky that he didn;t have to live another 15 or 20 years in a cell.

He was a sick SOb for sure from what I read....RIP

cant say im heartbroken

Good link. Crazy.

His life is a walking, talking testament to not getting involved in organized crime.

another motherfucker go to hell.

rumor has it that he tried to muscle in on carmine persico's ramon noodle distibution network and he paid the price looks like the columbos still have more pull than the outfit!

news to me..

Wonder if he and Joey Lombardo had any contact while in prison? Joey is/was also in the same medical unit of that prison in North Carolina. Frank was a really bad guy, but his family is still grieving in their own way. RIP.

I hope his son enjoys not being able to show up to his own fathers funeral. That would be a death sentence. Its really worth it to be a rat now isn't it? Yeah ok!

I was thinking the same thing. Will Frank Jr go to the funeral when there is a good chance mobsters will be there? Or will it be family only?

Who knows. I doubt it. But it's not like they would knock him down right there.

If you go to ANP there is an interesting article based on a picture Calabrese Jr. recently took with one of DiFronzo's good friends/associates, which really threw Fosco for a loop: What on earth would this good friend/associate of DiFronzo be doing palling around with a GW like Calabrese Jr.?

I'm not a conspiracy theorist but it does raise some interesting questions.

Wow, did not know that. It should raise eyebrows and questions. There can't be a "good" reason for that in the eyes of the others.

What if Frank Calabrese is still involved in the mob? What if the whole thing with his father was to try to fool the feds?

We will never know but that would be a good reason on why he was recently seen with an associate.

Stupidest theory ive heard in a while.

Well why would he be with an associate? No fucking way the mob allows that to happen unless something is going on. How the fuck does a rat hang out with a mob guy? WTF?

Bro that shit goes on all the time, how do you even know the associate is really an associate? Ill give you an example, when Johnny Blue was arrested a few years ago, every one he was arrested with (like 40 guys) were labeled genovese associates! Only maybe 4 or 5 actually were, and Johnny Blue. Plus theres rats all over the place, a lot of them are still on the street. Maybe hes a friend he grew up with. Not every single person ever associated with a family is gonna kill a guy on the spot for being a rat,in fact truethfully most wont.

Another sad but true point! Skinny may get Rookie of the week award. Kid on fire.

Well if he was an associate he should have atleast beat the fuck out of him. Whack that son of a bitch and thats a one way ticket to moving up the ranks. I guess he is just a "friend."

Anyone who was hungry would have nailed that fucker when they had the chance. Fuck that rat cocksucker.

LOL!!!!!

IF YOU SEE HIM, TELL ME, WILL YOU SAY THAT TO HIS FACE????

Listen I'd tell the motherfucker off. Yeah I would.

Wilson's so cute.

why are you so aggravated by it for. He ratted out his dad not you.

Even the other calabrese brother who didnt rat hated his dad as well so who gives a fuck.
Also if they are allowing mob wives why are they gonna go kill a rat.

If he is telling the truth and said that his dad had a "Good" side, then why rat him out? Because his father was tough on him and he was on drugs which caused him to steal hundreds of thousands of dollars from his own father? Then he claims that it was because he felt he was owed that. Thats such a bunch of crap.

Frank Jr. was on drugs when he made the choices he did. Then when he sobered up, he regretted it and was afraid that he was going to get in trouble with his father and knew he had to face the music. He turned to the feds to help him.

Bottom line the guys fucked in the head and took the pussy way out.

Simply that is a bunch of fucking bullshit and no excuse. Sorry I do not feel sorry for you at all. No I do not. GO fuck yourself Mr. Calabrese.

who gives shit. there all gangsters doing stuff there not supposed to anyway. They know the risks of being a career criminal and being snitched on or snitching is a part of that risk. Really its his own fault for trusting his kid who he had already caught stealing from him and was using drugs. Also jr decided to rat whilst in prison and his dad seemed ok with him at the time considering the fact that he was discussing past murders with him it seems they got along just fine despite the drugs and everything.

That was the ultimate betrayal! I'm not condoning it at all! However, Italian fathers are in many ways co- dependent on thier sons. Whether its the trust, pressure whatever! I'm sure plenty of us here wonder why parents up with the BS from thier kids like they do! That Calabrese seemed like a real mutt, however I couldn't imagine the pain he went thru listening to his son testifying against him!

Reading the book right now. His dad seemed insane and always tried to control him. Even though he did that I'm surprised he could do that to his own Dad.

LOL. We all enjoy reading about the mob but goodness... the guy killed 15 people.

Google "Kurt Calabrese interview."

He talks about how he lived in terror of his POS father.

He's lucky his kids didn't kill him.

Well in the beginning they chose to work for him. Once you make a promise to someone, you keep it. You don't run away and ask the feds to help you out of that life once you get scared.

I thought he forced his kids into it....
