Yes he is still in prison. Heard talk me was moved somewhat recently but I don't think anyone knows the reason behind it.

He's sick. I don't know if it's true or not but heard from the lock of mobility he gets in the prison he's developed a few blood clots and has been moved to a medical wing. Even though he is and will be incarcerated the rest of his life he has filed a civil suit against the B.O.P. for cruel and unusual punishment.

Island is that why he's been at CCM Minneapolis all this time? CCM's are usually halfway houses i thought. Is he in a medical facility? I could never figure out why they moved him from ADMAX to a CCM. I know he was at the Butner medical facility a couple years back but now a CCM?

He generated a disease that's under scrutiny from prisoners that don't get enough movement and develop health problems due to their unsual clock. Your body is a block if you sit around all day and don't move around certain physical elements will occur. Helen hunt comes to visit casso to see if they can get his circulation moving

Thanks, those blood clots can be real trouble if left untreated.

Helen Hunt? The actress? I saw you mentioned her in another thread, does she know Casso?

She went to visit him. I don't care if people call him a rat he was the real deal, he had balls, he got things done, capesh

Yes...capesh! lol

Interesting about Hunt...thanks.

Perhaps Jimmy Hydell's Momma should file a one against him for cruel and unusual punishment!

So Casso files a lawsuit for cruel & unusual punishment. How do you think a jury will see this if they know what a sterling citizen he is ??

This guy did so well everything he touched turned to gold pretty much . then at the end he lost it mentally seamed.I saw a interview i think it was Ed Bradly. And Casso came off stupid had a hard time pronouncing peoples names just weird .I have seen him twice when he was much younger but did not hear him speak.I am not the sharpest tool but i have never ran a crime family either.

Lol yea jimmy was a good boy, he no hurt nobody!

Casso was far worse and he is filing one!

I looked up Casso's explanation on why he had the architect (Anthony Fava) whacked. From Casso's own mouth, but he has been known to fabricate....

This was during the time period when Fat Pete flipped. The architect had also done work on Fat Pete's house. So, Casso figured he knew too much and had him killed. Casso was rolling in dough and spending lavishly at the time, so he could have easily afforded to pay.

That doesn't explain why Fava was brutally tortured before he was whacked. Casso explained that he wasn't supposed to have been tortured but the assassins got carried away. Fava's genitals were mutilated, leading to speculation that there was something inappropriate going on with Lillian (wife), but Casso denied that theory.

The balls being cut off got to make you wonder about the whole affair aspect with his wife, I dont think a guy like casso would ever admit that his wife was fucking around on him.
on a side note casso's son still lives in the neighborhood (mill basin) and hangs around with a lot wise guys, I cant confirm if he has something going on but he has a nice house & rides around in luxury cars and sure does look the part.

How does people know that casso said the Gemini Twins killed DeMeo? Source please?

From his bio, Gaspipe, written by Philip Carlo.

I know this has been covered in another thread, but here's a quick summary, as per Casso...

Castellano assigned the job to murder DeMeo to Gotti. Gotti was unsuccessful and recommended to Big Paul that they use Gaspipe. Paul agreed. Gaspipe's strategy was to recruit the Testa brothers and Anthony Senter. The reward for the Testas was they were going to be made into the Lucchese family. Senter was not 100% Italian.

DeMeo went to Patty Testa's home to collect money and was clipped there. The body was put in the trunk of his car and Anthony Testa drove it to Varras Boat Club in Sheepshead Bay, where his body was discovered a week later.

yes he is still in jail and will not be getting out.


...for the gemini twins, carnasie was a big lucchese territory, right? murder machine basically says as much and that roy had opportunities with the lucchese's in the junk yards but turned them down, so it's not totally unthinkable that the gemini twins would end up with the lucchese's. At least one of them eventually got made, i know that's been discussed around here somewhere before

Canarsie was where Paul Vario's crew was based, correct?

So senter was never made?

Pretty sure he was and I am also pretty sure that he was 100% Italian, despite the last name.

were all 3 of them made or just patty and senter? or was patty not made and it was joey and senter?

I'm a bit confused.

According to Philip Carlo's biography of Gaspipe: Anthony Senter was not 100% Italian and thus, would not be a made man in the Lucchese family.

According to Wikipedia, both of Senter's parents were immigrants from Italy, which implies Senter was 100% Italian.

This has been answered recently. Will answer it again. Yes, Joey Testa and Anthony Senter were both made with the Luccheses in 1988. Testa´s brother Patty was made in 1991.

Thanks for the info. I've found it safe to assume that Philip Carlo is wrong when there are two different stories....

Where did you find out that the twins where made in 1988?

Let´s just say that Carlo did not do his best work when he wrote the Casso book.



In the new D´Arco book by Jerry Capeci and Tom Robbins.

Thanks for the source, Knuckles.

I'm currently reading D'Arco's book and I somehow glossed over that part where Senter/Testa got their wings at the same ceremony as D'Arco's son. I was focused on the nasty safety pin that Bobby Amuso brought to prick everyone's finger. I remember thinking that this was right after Greg Scarpa was diagnosed with HIV via a tainted blood transfusion and they should have been more careful.

At least Capeci supplies an index, so you can quickly look up info- unlike Carlo.

After his book on the Iceman i'm skeptical on pretty much everything he wrote. And Gas wasn't above spinning the truth so between those 2 you have to wonder what is true and what isn't.

Just my opinion though.

How much did they talk about The Gemini Twins in D´Arco book and gaspipes book?

And are there any new stories of something the twins did?
