Yep, 100% a rat. He got hosed on both ends- fellow mobsters and the feds. His wife was extorted a lot of money from a mobster, as he knew that nobody would come to her aid. This continued until she dropped dead. Gas got screwed since his biggest crime as a government witness was telling the truth about Sammy Gravano and a crooked FBI agent.
As far as his money is concerned....his biography didn't give exact figures, but it was a lot. He specialized in drugs and he would bring them in via shrimp trawlers and ship them across the country in moving trucks. Guys like Sammy Gravano and Burt Kaplan were his wholesale customers.
He didn't even want to be a capo, let alone the boss, because he was making too much money and didn't want to be bogged down by settling disputes with other family members. He was content to report to the consigliere (Christy Tick) and be left alone to focus on his rackets.

Former mets pitcher John Franco owned it or tried to by the house. Casso killed the builder of the house when the builder wanted to get paid

This continued until she dropped dead. Who was the mobster?, some guy nicknamed "The bug" or something like that wasn't it? I agree, Casso is a rat. Say what you will about guys like Carmine Persico and Bruno Indelicato but they are 100% cosa nostra, they didn't rat. Casso and Massino were both gangsters on the wrong side of the law until it didn't suit their purpose anymore and they flipped. Same goes for Bill Cutolo's son, he was a gangster until his Poppa got killed and he knew he couldn't do anything about it so he ran to the law expecting help and protection when both he and his father had always operated on the other side of law and order

I think Franco is from brooklyn so maybe he knew casso growing up or something. Interesting piece of info Franco was tight with a bunch of bonanno guys Franco? Really?....i didn't know that. Guess you really do learn something new everyday. I read Franco grew up in Bensonhurst though so i'm sure he's most likely had contact with more then a few wiseguys.

In all fairness though, it was gravano's kids who were involved with the ecstasy ring. He just took the fall for them. But it's karma for the bad things he's done in that past so it evens out. Not sure where you got that idea. Gravano was involved in the ring as well, not just his kids. That's what Karen said. But we all don't know for sure of course. She said it in her book.

Why does everyone hate Bill Cutolo Jr so bad ? I mean at least he didn't kill Jackie DeRoss and Little Allie Boy when he had the chance. Like "Wild" Bill told his son : " I wish death before jail." Bill Cutolo Junior would still be with the Colombo's if his Dad hadn't been killed. Cutolo Senior and Cutolo Junior both operated on the wrong side of the law! When Wild Bill died, his son went crying to the cops for help. Bill Junior needs to understand that his Dad died because he was a gangster! I'm sorry but I cant respect someone who lives as a tough guy gangster then turns his tail and runs to the law for help when things don't go his way! At least Al Demeo didn't rat on his father murderers. Al understood that whilst he loved his Dad, Roy had done many hideous things and died as a result of his life. That's why I have tremendous respect for Sonny Black, I don't like the things he did in life but I respect the man for staying true to what he was, not ratting and going to that final meeting knowing what fate awaited him. The guy had balls that's for sure

I remember reading in Carlo's book that Gaspipe set up Roy DeMeo using the Gemini Twins and that once they did the work that they were working for him then now on. No mention of this is made in Murder Machine, only that Gaggi, in all probability, killed DeMeo.
Could someone a little more well informed comment on this?

When murder machine came out in 1990 I beleive Casso hadn't flipped yet. So there was only speculation that Nino did it, but than Casso flipped in '94 and revealed it was the twins who did it at patty testas house. Casso wasn't a good witness as we have all come to see so but their really isn't a reason for him to lie with this, so most everyone buys the story the he gave. This is interesting, because didn't the Twins continue to work for Gaggi after DeMeo was killed? If so, doesn't that sort of negate Gaspipe's claim then?

Gaspipe is a real character. They really should do a movie on him and the Mafia Cops. I think it would be pretty good. DeNiro could play Casso. Much as I like DeNiro, he's 70 years old and too old to play Gaspipe

Much as I like DeNiro, he's 70 years old and too old to play Gaspipe Gas is 73, but i do see your point about playing a younger Casso. Not sure then who i would go with, all my favorite actors are getting up there in age. Shame DeNiro isn't younger, i really think he could of nailed the part. The movie would be on both Gaspipe and the Mafia Cops. I really think it would do decent boxoffice too. A lunatic gangster and his 2 corrupt homicidal hitmen cops. Oh yeah...Academy Award winner all the way!!

Yeah it is weired, im sure the immediate aftermath of Demeo's murder they were still considered under Gaggi's thumb, but then in '84 everyone gets indicted so im sure they all layed low after that, than Gaggi gets convicted in '86 and goes to jail the twins don't. It was probably around that time they began to work for Casso as he says they were the shooters of that russian guy in June of '86, and also the shooters of the mistaken Nicky Guido in December of that year. They certinatley worked for Casso theirs pictures of the twins with him, Frank Lastorino, and some other bigwig and that was probably when he was underboss so if you're a couple associates from another family you just don't sit with the top guys from another family. Bobby as hot as they were ,What do u think Casso the only one crazy unstable to get with them..do u think they were wanted by some other boss.

Im sure their reputations were known by the other bosses and people within the families, especially Brooklyn, but they were also known as heavy drug users so the old timers probably wouldn't want that, certinatley not the Genovese. The Bonnanos probably would of taken them in if they had a chance, someone like Pitera or Bruno Indelicato.

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

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

Casso killed the builder of the house when the builder wanted to get paid 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.

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.

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.

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.... Let´s just say that Carlo did not do his best work when he wrote the Casso book. Where did you find out that the twins where made in 1988? 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.

Thanks for the info. I've found it safe to assume that Philip Carlo is wrong when there are two different stories.... Let´s just say that Carlo did not do his best work when he wrote the Casso book. 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.

In Casso's book, he discusses how Testa/Senter were recruited to whack Roy DeMeo, in exchange for getting straightened out. And Gas describes how the hit went down....summarized in one of my previous posts above.
In the D'Arco book, he mentions Senter and Joey Testa getting made in the same ceremony as Joe D'Arco- Al's son. Later, when Al is the acting boss, he presided over a ceremony, where Patty Testa was made. When Vic and Gas were fugitives, Patty Testa was involved with relaying messages from the bosses to the capos, and even supplied homes for meetings to take place. Nothing earth shattering, though. It seems that Senter/Testas were mentioned mostly for the sake of name dropping.

maybe he regrets not taken that 23 yr plea were he would have been out any day and probably boss of the family. regrets regrets. I think if he took that deal he would have ended up getting whacked upon release. Casso isn't the type to accept the power shifting back to the Bronx. And while he was away, so much of his treachery came to light through other informants. The guys in power now literally hate him, and it's not just because he flipped. NO WAY the current administration would work with him. NO WAY Casso accepts being broken. They would have had to kill him (even today when murders are rare),

im surprised crea didn't learn from the chin how to have the 3 top guys spread out but theres no press release for who his ub or consign is. You just answered your own question. No press release means he's doing something right. Just because Capeci and the Feds don't know who his underboss and consigliere are, doesn't mean he doesn't have them .

Hey bigboy you are right Casso is in Minneapolis at a prison hospital. I think he has cancer or something. Of course having cancer is better than being in ADMAX, IMO.

I have heard that Persico has been doing pretty well health wise, especially for his age. Overall he is healthy. I heard Amuso has heart and hypertension problems.
I heard even Christy Tick is doing pretty well and he has been locked up since the 1980s.

I am no expert but I do not think Christy would be getting anything from the family at this point. He was pretty well off when he went to prison so I would think his family would be okay. Just my opinion though.

Also even though casso was an evil scumbag i never would of thought in a million years he would of snitched.This guy grew up in the life and was around Genevese family from a young kid unlike gravano.If Casso never got caught and was still out on the streets today he most defiantly would of clipped more of his captains and he either would of wiped them all out and only young guys who are loyaal to casso would be left or after a few more killing the other capos would of gotten together and there would of been an internal war

Casso manipulated Amuso, no doubt. But in that life (or any walk of life, really), a man is judged by the company he keeps .

Gingello- I don't know about that. I had cancer and can assure you it was no picnic. Luckily I have been in remission 5 years. Hasn't he been there 2-3 years ??? As was mentioned above, it sure seems like a lot of them get seriously sick in lockup It's because you don't get to move around properly.

Skip to page 319 (it's free) According to Al, Gaspipe wanted specific details on who shot Charlie Visconti to death (March 1991) and who did what. To quote Al: "It was almost like Gaspipe was making some kind of report, that if he got caught he would turn it over". Thoughts? https://books.google.ie/books?id=IKVWTsi...ao's&f=true

In the early 1970's, I met Vic Amuso. Then, in 1974, I became a "made" member of the Lucchese family. Vic was "made" in around 1977. At that time, "Tony Ducks" Corallo was the boss of our family. But in 1986, Tony Ducks went to jail, so he had to name a new boss. I became a "capo" in 1986.
After discussions within the family, Tony Ducks made Vic Amuso the boss at the end of 1986. At the end of 1987, Vic told me I was the new consiglieri. Then, in 1989, Vic named me the underboss of the family. After Vic was arrested in July 1991, I ran the Lucchese family as underboss while I was a fugitive.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_CassoDuring this time, Casso maintained a glamorous lifestyle, wearing expensive clothes and jewelry, running restaurant tabs up to thousands of dollars, owning a mansion in an exclusive Brooklyn neighborhood and going on huge spending sprees. While at the top of the Lucchese family, Amuso and Casso shared huge profits from their family's illegal activities. These profits included: $15,000 to $20,000 a month from extorting Long Island carting companies; $75,000 a month in kickbacks from eight air freight carriers that guaranteed them labor peace and no union benefits for their workers; $20,000 a week in profits from illegal video game machines; and $245,000 annually from a major concrete supplier.[10] Amuso and Casso also split more than $200,000 per year from the Garment District rackets, as well as a cut of all the crimes committed by the family's soldiers.... There are people in my little town who makes this kind of money? Thats not big time money for a CN boss? Always thought they would make like millions of dollars per week.

Gaspipe Casso and Sammy the Rat are the exact reasons why I have much respect for people like Vic Amuso, Frankie Loc, Vinny Gorgeous etc....stand up men of honor who took their punishment like MEN. Gaspipe and Gravano were murderous psychopaths and took the easy way out.
And was it true that before Casso flipped the Feds offered him a 22 year plea?!? I read it in the Carlo gaspipe book but find that hard to believe. If he really was offered a 22 year plea and he turned it down and decided to inform that is the definition of poetic justice. If Casso took the 22 year deal in 93 he would have probably got out in 20 years...so around 2013,2014. He would have still had his reputation and respect/honor not to mention Would have been free and back on the streets which is the whole reason why he turned rat. He would have came out as the UB/Street Boss and would have been even more powerful with Amuso in for life. I don't often feel mobsters are hard done by, but in Locascio's case, he can certainly feel aggrieved and guilty by association. In Vinny's case, would the Feds even be interested if he was amenable to ratting? They got everything they wanted from Massino and Vitale. Mancuso and Urso were sent down, the family was decimated. What could Basciano bring to the table? Also, the guy plotted to kill a federal prosecutor. They would be no more interested in him ratting with that track record than they were with guys like Casso. Amuso is OG.
