Did this guy actually grow up in bemsonhurst? Was he half jewish?

Real last name was Ludwigsen. So maybe half Russian/Jewish. He was an asshole.

Still is an asshole by the sounds of it.

clown

Yes he is.

I know he is an asshole. But is his father jewish?
He was born in brooklyn but was he actually raised in bensonhurst brooklyn?

From what I recall from reading the book, he was born in Brooklyn and later raised in Staten Island. As a young punk he moved between gangs in Staten Island and Brooklyn. He was involved in a home invasion on S.I. in which the homeowner was shot and killed. He was running with the Bath ave crew at that time, but he also ran with the New Springfield boys on S.I> which was also home to Lee D'Avanzo who is married to Drita D'Avanzo of the Mob Wives show on TV. He was living the high life in South Beach and dating actreses left and right. He ratted out his buddies from the Bath Ave. crew and they are all doing long sentences while he is back living the high life out in the open. He does not seem to fear reprisals.

The Judy shemtov killing defo came bak to haunt him

Sounds more German than slavic.

Definitely German.

I googled the kid's name to see if there was anything on his heritage to help Crash. Anyways, the asshole has a twitter account. What an asshole.

Bet you guys wouldn't say that to his face. You're a bunch of gossiping bitches. Better keep your asses parked in those computer chairs cause you will get hurt out here.

So what are you doing here?

I enjoy the board but these mindless poorly constructed comments about a guy these people have no idea about bothers me a little.

Maybe you should just go back to being a handsome guy.

You don't have to refer to people as gossiping bitches for talking about gangsters in a forum that is made for talking about gangsters. Not everybody is going to have a positive opinion of every gangster. Be constructive and say he's a great guy if you disagree.

To each his own but I find it amusing that people come here to call someone that has actually done pretty well for themselves and given people interested in 'this life' something to talk about both a 'clown' and 'asshole' but hey that's none of my business. I apologize if I hurt anyones feelings =(

Maybe you should look up my arrest record and share that with the board as well SC.. We're all pals here, right?

Chris grew up in Bensonhurst and occasionally hung out on 14th ave & 64th street, he used to live on 59th & 13th and eventually moved to Staten Island with his mother before going on his own. He has an older brother George and a younger brother Keith. When we were young we used to ride our bicycles all over the place. He was a tuff kid who started with nothing and struggled to the top. He took a lot of friends with him and IMO did the right thing by his friends. I'm just really surprised how he fell in with tommy Renolds. Chris was cautious of loose cannons and pretty much stood clear of that type of trouble. Anyway touché brother tell Keith I said hello

Hey Marbala what was it like in Chris old neighbourhood pals like Lee and the Bath ave when chris made it big in Miami and was seen with JLO madonna and other celebs?Were these guys Jelous because Fuck money he was around celebs and these guys were in NY still doing the same old shit

Marbala
How old was Chris when his family moved to staten island? So he was'nt half jewish?

To be honest most guys didn't think much of Chris when he was gone. Of course there's always gonna be a few haters but for the most part when ever guys went down to Miami Chris always took care of his friends. He didn't like jerkoffs with big mouths but if you were his friend before he went to Miami then you were his friend after he hit it big. The only problem with Chris and it's really not his issue was he had a lot of friends from different crews which made things tense at times. And let's not forget all his fake friends that came after the money. I'm gonna say mid to late teens when Chris moved to staten island

PS I think his father was German? Don't think he was part Jewish

He did not grow up in Bensonhurst. He grew up in Boro Park across the street from St. Francis (Unless you consider 12th ave and 50 street, Bensonhurst.) His Dad was German Ludwigsen is a a very German name but they lived in a Jewish neighborhood. Say what you will, but if John Gotti Sr and Jr had half the brains of this guy, the Gambino crime family would not be in the shape it is today.

What goods brains if you flip at the first sign of trouble.

Im not sure a smart guy who'd flip on you is any better than a dumb lug who doesnt.

How is someone with the rank of "BANNED" still able to post in the forum?

That last post of his was old and he has been banned since then, he can no longer post.

I guess if you got money and willing to share it doesn't matter if your a snitch

I'd rather have a mute dummy any time.

I'll take the mute moron any day. If he's smart enough to make you millions illegally, then he is smart enough to leave you with the smoking gun when the walls start tumbling down...and probably skim from you in the process..
