Do you think it is possible Capeci may have said Senter was made to give more impact to his book Murder Machine?

No. While he isn't infallible, Capeci is a responsible author. In a different league than Volkman or Carlo.

What league is Scott in?

My critics over on the RD try to paint me as "out to get" Scott but that's not the case. I don't agree with some things he says but I don't throw out the baby with the bathwater. He has provided a lot of good info on the Detroit mob.

no

A Capeci/Mustain error . Freddy DiNome gave the name DiName when he was arrested . Capeci and Mustain attributed this to his illiteracy/dyslexia , while Freddy was dyslexic this spelling had nothing to do with it. Fact is when my grandfather , his brother , and a cousin came over from Italy like most immigrants they came through Ellis island . The clerk handling them made a suggestion that they switch the family name from DiNome to DiName , the only one who did so was the cousin because he felt it sounded more American . Years later my grandfather got a job in the court system , like most Italians from our section of Brooklyn he had some mob ties , and he thought up the idea that our family could have 2 rap sheets , one under the name DiName , and one under DiNome . For many years this worked get arrested or questioned give the name DiName , go for a good job give the name DiNome . They all had 2 birth certificates , 2 driver licenses , pretty much everything you needed to live a double identity . This actually worked for a while until Richie or his brother Paulie (don't remember which one) was arrested and caught with 2 licenses one saying DiNome and one saying DiName , after that the Feds did a little research , started looking into our family and figured out exactly what was going on and why Freddy DiNome never had any arrests , they looked at Freddy DiName and saw mug shots and fingerprints and realized they were one in the same . So by the time Freddy got pinched for his OC activities the cat was out of the bag and they were arresting him under DiNome and combining his arrest records with his arrests under DiName as well . It happened to a few other members of the family as well . There's your useless fact for the day lol

I wonder how casso and the gemini twins became friends?

I've wondered that too!
I suppose, in those days Canarsie was the car crime capital of Brooklyn and I've heard of the Lucchese having junkyards all over Brooklyn.
Testa and Senter were a notorious pair in Canarsie so I guess somewhere down the line they met Casso (or one of his guys who eventually set up an introduction).
Remember Chris Rosenberg got killed because of a little side venture that Roy Demeo originally knew nothing about.
God knows what activities Joey and Anthony were into that Roy didnt know about!

Wasn't Joey Testas brother, Patti, a Lucchese guy?

That´s right. The same time Joey was an associate with the Gambinos, Patty was an associate with the Luccheses. This makes me believe Joey Testa´s connection to Casso was initially through his brother.

Chris Rosenberg has a brother that was in the movie "Heat" he looks just like him

Are you talking about Kevin Gage, who played "Waingro?"

Just did a quick google on him, and it has to be him. It's scary how much he looks like Rosenberg.
