It would be almost stranger to think that the guys he mentioned could attain all that power without cooperation of some kind in order to sustain it. Guys like Luciano and Gambino have gained an almost mythical aura in the eyes of crime aficionados. Their truths are probably less glamorous.

Is there any factual evidence to back the theory of Luciano and whoever else involved setting up Vito Genovese on the narcotics charge in 1959?

Was Genovese involved and they dropped a dime on him or was he not involved and they set him up to take the fall?

It's hard to imagine he wasn't involved in narcotics but the whole idea of the boss Genovese meeting with Nelson Cantoloups or whatever is name was who was an unmade low level street guy seemed far fetched too.

That was some serious snitching to have bosses snitch/set up another boss.

Ironically, the only people who don't snitch are cops. Not on each other. That blue line is 20 times stronger than Omerta.

So if you came home and found a masked person physically or sexually assaulting your wife/mother/sister/child you would put out a platter of cookies and milk for them and wait for them to finish?

I would rather watch my 4-year-old son get torn to pieces by hungry lions than rat.

If you were serious when you said this, you must be a real piece of shit type, like pedophiles and serial killers.

And stop using words like “manly”, “honor”, “integrity” and “principles”, since you have first to learn their meaning to be able to use them appropriately.

You probably have spent all your life in prison and know no other life than the underworld, if you are seriously ready to throw your son to the lions, as you just said.

That's pretty edgy, man.

I would handle it myself. You're either a man or you're not. A man does not run to mommy whenever there's trouble. A man handles business in a manly way. This may be very hard for you to understand since you were obviously raised by people who ratted every time they felt powerless. You are the product of victim culture.

If you want to be seen as a strong man with honor and integrity then you must have your principles in order. You never rat! I would rather watch my 4-year-old son get torn to pieces by hungry lions than rat.

You sound like you're talking about yourself Nicky

Thank you for being honest. I am certainly not surprised

Your insecurities are more entertaining than just about anything I've witnessed this entire year

There was a Bonanno soldier who posted here once, but I think he was just trying to sell a jet ski.

Well, I would be able to sleep at night and I'd be able to smile whenever I'd see the man in the mirror. And my son..my son would be looking down from Heaven saying 'I'm proud of you dad..You didn't rat.' What more could a father ask for?

Would u sell your daughter to a pedophile before snitching?
