And now that I look at it again, that picture of Vinny, Angela and Joey Basciano is right out of the DeStefano book.

Still good pics, though.

Pizzaboy, you thought i was hacking wiseguys facebooks? lol


The jnr book is a pretty good read btw!

Don't be offended. It's just that Geoff's a friend of mine and it's happened before. There are some real crazies out there. You haven't been here very long, but you'll see soon enough .

That's all there was to it. Welcome to the board .

I'd buy the book for the pics alone.

jnrs prison crew.

I know Jr Gotti loves kids books since he used to write some himself but in adult books not every page needs an illustration picture.

Just kidding, it's just that a lot of these seem pretty irrelevant. Like the prison crew, I can't even spot Jr in that one. I guess he wanted to fill some extra pages.

Its a long book! Also that prison crew photo has a number of made guys in it!

Oh no don't get me wrong, these are great, thanks for posting them since not everybody has the book. I'm just saying there's a lot of them, we're not used to this many pics in most crime/mob books. Like the Alite photo, I bet he probably published that to insinuate that Alite was a closet homo, or prison gay or something.
How many pages is it anyway?

The Alite pic was not in jnrs book. Its from Alites.lol

Jnrs book is about 570 pages! Good Read!

Alites book is under 200 pages and its basically him trashing everyone!

The prison pic.. The older guy with the glasses next to jr is joey scoops licata( philly).

That is definitely Gene in the orange shirt on the first page. I don't think John is in it.

Some good pictures, nice to see

Anymore?

Great pics

Hey THANKS calcestruzzo!...... Where did you get these? Did you sneak into Gotti's attic?

Also, that first picture is the FIRST and ONLY picture that I have seen in focus of Sonny Black....Every other photo of him is from the side, blurry or, just makes him look like a different person in every photo. This one shows him very clear.

Yes great pics in that book,all private familly collections.None of that fbi type photos.If my old man was in the mob,and i was doing a book about it,I would puctures like that in too.After all pictures sell books too..
Does Gene have kids of his own?

Sonny Black seems to have his hand down the front of Gotti's pants...didn't realise the were so close!

Bottom left of the prison photo looks like Anthony Aiello, the Bonanno soldier.

just above him looks like Steve Mazzone

The picture of Jr. with Bobby Borriello makes me laugh. I see why they called him erkel, for puling his pants up so high. Very Funny. Are there really a lot of made guys in that prison photo or were you guys joking ?

so gotti was tight with sonny black it must sucks these guys new someone was gonna get clipped and couldnt do shit about it. that's what the lcn got over ever other gang or kkk type shit. there structure will last forever. ya no one followsthe rules but there still in the back of every guys head. jr gotti must be feeling different today. but that alite book sucks muthaafucking ass. thought sonny black dyed his hair?

In prison?

Even if he could get the dye smuggled in (and back then Greenhaven was actually a haven for corruption, so I'm sure he could have), why bother?

The guy, fifth from right in the prison photo, looks like Uncle Dracula from The Gemini Crew. The guy at the end on the right looks mentally retarded.

That's him. They must have crossed paths while Aiello was in for armed robbery.

Well we don't know when was the prison photo taken exactly.. we could have cross-checked it to confirm/deny our suspicions.

I thought the guy behind Gotti was Ace but then i saw the date of the photo and Ace had more hair in 2000 and i didn't know he was locked up in 2000 too. But you guys are right, he's the one kneeling in the front row.

Isn't that photo from a federal prison? I would of thought robbery would land you in a state pen.

It's labeled 2000.

If I remember right, the only lengthy bid that Ace did (besides the 25 years he's doing right now) was for the armed robbery. That was the late '90s. Junior was held in Valhalla until he made his plea in the Scores case, which was also the very late '90s. But Ace was home by '01 or '02. It would almost have to be 1999 or 2000.

Oh yeah, you're right... the 7 5"00 was a little confusing. Then no way it's Dracula. Most of those guys are pretty young, except for 2-3 whose hair has grayed.

Ace did that time Federal. I don't remember the specifics. But it was definitely Fed time. It had to be around '96 or '97 if you want to look it up somewhere.

Thinking back on it there are probably plenty of robbers doing fed time. Anything to do with a bank robbery among many other robbery type crimes. My mistake.
