Belmont, the more I study the history of Organized Crime, the less I know. Why? Because most of these guys don't do interviews or keep diaries. Hill maintained it was Gotti and that it was revenge for Billy Batts. Only those who were there know for sure.

There is an interesting mug shot of a young henry hill in the beginning of the video. He was arrested in 1965 in jersey city nj. Anyone know what he got popped for in jersey city?

Gotti wasnt a hitman. he was a murderer but only in the sense that he ordered murders. The only murder that he was directly involved with was the mcbratney murder but he wasnt the shooter ralph galione was. I still think tommy agro was the actual killer although gotti may have been present but i doubt it

Gotti was a street thug associate for 2 decades before he was made and started giving orders. Nobody was keeping scores back then. Most of the murders back then went unsolved as there weren't as many rats. Don't forget the Plate favor he did for Dellacroce

So I've been curious about whether or not DeSimone actually shot a civilian dead in the street just to prove is ruthless reputation? As I recall from Henry Hill interviews DeSimone turned to Hill as they were walking down the street and said, "Hey Henry look at this." Then turned around the opposite direction, walked a few paces and shot a random man dead right on the sidewalk. Hill then replied, "Damn Tommy, that was cold." Desimone then quipped "Yea well I'm a mean cat." If this is true then why wouldn't they want whack him even sooner just for being a homicidal maniac? How can you trust a man like that?

Henry Hill was a drunk and a liar. If you listen to his appearances on the Stern show over the years, he comes up with outrageous shit when he's wasted. I wouldn't take Henry's word for it, especially those years after he became famous and had really no new stories to tell.

His last appearance was pretty depressing. Wasted, looked generally unhealthy, slurring every word. I think that was the one where he was confronted by "Spider's" sister. it made for great radio, but pretty morbid at the same time.

Kind of wish Stern would get some other former mobsters on his show. Maybe one whose less of a hopeless drunk.
