Hey guys,

Finally registered after viewing this forum for years. I was thinking about Mikey scars and reading his testimony and background. He seemed like a really intelligent guy and was promoted to captain at a fairly young age. Seemed like a newer generation or monster than the traditional mustache Petes. I was wondering if you guys thought that had he not flipped if you thought he could have been tapped as the next boss of the Gambinos. Seemed like the guy was pretty sophisticated for a gangster. Perfect for the 21st century. Had he not flipped.

He was too tight with the Gotti clan

When he gave testimony against Gotti Jr, he came across as an extremely bright and honest witness. May have been the best Mafia witness ever the government produced.

If he was so wonderful why did all the trials end in mistrials? Even his testimony in the colombo cases was of limited value because they also ended in mistrials.


Should probably ask Mr. Kierney. I guess if you're Italian, you should be in prison.
I've read the RICO Act, and I can tell you it's more appropriate...
for some of those guys over in Washington than it is for me or any of my fellas here

Ya I also find it interesting that none of his testimonial resulted in good., strong convictions. His delivery was excellent for a mobster, and he gave a lot of important info.

Again he seemed like a really smart guy. Not your typical meathead gangster you see cruising around.

The outcome of a trial is not only dependent on the witnesses who gives testimony. I believe he was/is far mor brighter and have/had a far more pleasant personality and charisma than Cafaro or Sessa or any of the other Mafia witnesses produced by the government.

he flipped cause little nicky was going to kill his ass. when jr was boss scars fucked lenny and blaise on the trucking business and lenny slapped him like a girl like a week after he was made.. I have heard he was pretty fair.. he for sure seems a bit more intelligent than most.. his testimony is a great read.

As someone already said , how close he was with the Gotti's may have drug his standing down eventually. Of course that is just speculation. He also wasn't regarded as a very tough guy and that may have lead to other reservations. He did come across as a very sharp and capable guy based on his testimony. I am also surprised it led to all the mistrials, but I wouldn't doubt there were other factors leading to the verdict.

Definitely a good read. You can tell how articulate he is just from reading this. Smarter than the average knuckle head mobster.

By the way, I think I just installed the best avatar picture in this community forum !

last time he was on the stand at the Genovese capo tico trial he beat the murder the feds put him on the stand to tell the jury what a powerfull capo tico was in Brooklyn. I remember the lawyers caught him in some lies or misquotes. they never used him after that. he ex wife who is niece to gotti underboss that got blown up, she kills him in interviews with the paper. saying his whole plan if he ever got in trouble was to turn rat and he was obseesed with that old movie I forgot the name English weird movie they have dicknoses and shit. the guy murders some lady and goes to jail and gets out early faking he reformed weird movie but good 1970's. jr gotti also was recorded saying his uncle pete should have never striped him or blamed him for stealing, jr almost said he was rite to turn. he comes from Sammy the bull crewwho a lot of them guys flipped like 4.

Are you saying that there were still mustache Pete's in the 1990s?

Sure... But by the 1990's they were all extremely old. If you think that some of those old timers were made in the 1920's or 1930's, they would be in their 80's or 90's by the 1990's. Maybe even some of them came over on the boats. I'd consider them potential mustache Pete's.

Theres a pic of scars huge ass house looking into the ocean huge windows. Its one of the best. He must have made great money. Yaeh im doubting mike scars got slapped after he became a made guy before probaly after no. Gotti would have had someone killed. Think his exwife was on mobwives or some show.

Scars and I are both on the same page regarding Gotti. I always said he was intelligent but did some dumb things. Scars said excatly that as well as jr being smart.. i agree as well.
Interesting insight regarding the ravenite meetings. Contrary to what law enforcement says, Gotti wanted to know who everyone was and he wanted to be able “ to read them”... as much as i have been around this shit, i never knew there was a numbers cap as to how many members a family could have.
