Gambino family. I would not put to much stock into what William Dear says. Joe has his hooks in the music business, and knows movie stars here and there. But to be connected to the Goldman and Simpson murder? No, is anything there might be a story out there that Ippolito was approached to do a contract killing on O.J. Simpson.

Do not put any credence into any info Giacomo Vacari provides. I mean, you can, but do so at your own risk.

Like Dellacroce said earlier, he's an admitted liar and fabricator of info. The West Coast families is one of the families he blatantly admitted to lying about and embellishing. Like I said, believe him if you want to, you're doing so at your own risk, and most likely what youre being told, is not true. Nor has he been able to produce sources for such claims. Just look at what he said in the recent Philly thread. Or perhaps the threads about the Montreal mob war that's currently going on, which he added his bs to, like claiming Bonanno wiseguy, Sal Catalano is the guy whose backing the Sicilians, when there is literally not a single source available which supports Catalano being active in the current Bonanno administration, the family itself, or even being in America.

Or maybe you'd want to check the bottom half of this thread...

He's been banned from two other forums for the same thing, lying and fabricating. For some reason he has yet to be banned here, so he's free to mislead and lie to those gullible enough to believe him. You seem to have a genuine thirst for knowledge in regards to the West Coast families, so I'm just trying to help you out. You might be told something by him, and believe it to be fact and take it elsewhere, and no one has any clue what you're talking about because the info was wrong in the first place. But again, it's your prerogative, man. But you'll learn more about the West Coast based families by reading books like The Last Mafioso, searching the net for old articles, documents, doing your own research. Instead of taking Giacomo Vacaris word for it, or simply assuming you're like the only one he doesn't pull the bullshit on. That goes for anyone else on this forum as well. The best thing to do is take whatever you hear on here from any member and cross reference it with the actual sources you can find through your own researching.
