Chucky Porter was convicted in October of 1990. After his first two years in prison around mid 1992, he contacted the FBi and began a cozy relationship with them by informing on quite a few areas. He began giving information about mob hits that were to take place within other families around the country, most notably in New England and in New Jersey. He got this information through other mafia inmates in prison. After his information was deemed credible, he also gave information on a planned hit for Joey Rosa, who testified against him. Other Pittsburgh family members found out that he comes to Pittsburgh to visit family and they planned to kill him until Porter had the FBI warn him. He also gave up Sonny Ciancutti, who was indicted back in 2000 for his illegal gambling empire. Porter's biggest blow to Organized Crime was his detailed information on Youngstown, OH and the so called "Lenny Strollo Enterprise." Youngstown was decimated due to the information Porter gave. Porter also gave up in 1997 the infiltration of the Rincoln Indian Casino in San Diego, CA that was led by the Strollo's and Henry Zottola.

Porter NEVER testified against anybody because according to Roger Greenbank, since he took the stand in his trial and consistently lied, his credibility would have been irrelevant since he already lied under oath. The reason they never got Genovese was because Mike was well insulated and only spoke to Porter and got all his envelopes in cash by Porter. Since Porter was deemed not credible, his testimony against Genovese would have never held up in court and would have been considered heresay. Porter still resides at 3999 Old William Penn Hwy in Penn Hills with his wife Joyce (Check out the house on trulia.com or zillow.com). His son Charles is a prominent criminal defense lawyer and his daughter Tiffany still lives in the Pittsburgh area. All his kids were very good kids and never involved.

Roger Greenbank, former supervisor in charge of the Pittsburgh FBI's OC task force always described Porter as a true gentleman, never nasty towards FBI agents and Porter was said to be old school, where he understood that the FBI had a job to do. He was very close to Henry "Zebo" Zottola and Frank "Sonny" Amato. Zottola was sent by Genovese to oversee the Youngstown operations since Lenny Strollo was beginning to get paranoid and started shooting everybody. Zottola came into Youngstown quite a bit and basically reported everything back to Genovese. Zottola answered directly to Porter and Genovese and was described by the FBI as one of the Pittsburgh Family's biggest earners and income producers.
