That's a real good question if you don't mind my buttin' in..I've ALWAYS wondered that..in my personal opinion,I think yogi was pissed at the whole situation a long time before the borgata fell apart..the way nicky was acting, the salvie thing, just the whole way that everything was falling apart,aside from his brother being taken down,he was kinda looking at the big picture,what with him making more money with his own gig with nat,nat,rebar etc..he was doing o.k. without the gripes of hearing that asshole's voice on georgia ave. he distanced himself a long ways IN HIS MIND b4 everything came to a head..he was smarter than he looked.

Pretty sure I also read samething about Yogi distancing himself prior to shit hitting fan . Not sure how close him and Skinny were. I read.an old inquirer article once claiming there was a gang ran by fat joey(yogis son) and thin joey(skinny). Rite around the time of Scarfo Jr attempt. Could have been speculation or bs but found it interesting all things considered.

Good question. From what i read i dont think lawrence and chuckie were particularly close. I know chuckie was close with scarfo and lawrence with leonetti

What kind of relationship did Joey have with Lawrence after he ratted?

None !! Skinny played the part..shit he was putting away his own family.

But Phil L made sure he did not have to do that , Yogi went for the ride...RIP

Yea I got impression from book Phil really liked Yogi and Salvi and missed them most out of anything other then blood.

You are real close ,he started making money with out stealing it !!!
Also Phil was doing the same,they both started hanging with people on the fringes of the life instead of people in the thick of it all .
It was getting to them and they knew the heat was next ...

So yes the big picture....

You wonder after all these guys flipped if it still hurt his heart to do so. It worked for him what he get out after 97 so he did 10 yrs when he had life. But from what I read it crushed his brother an him brothershit. I wrote this here before I guess when scarfo rsr. Was in atl prison with amuso chickie was there to and there was almost zero contact and there in the same block. But it could be bullshit we wernt there. But they both had there best or right hand flip both after they were convicted at trial.

Leonetti doesn't actually say a juror was paid off. He says Garber mentioned that he knew one of the jurors, once the trial was already at the deliberation stage. From the way Leonetti implies how Scarfo looked like he wanted to kill Garber after hearing that, they didn't actually know in time for it to be of benefit to them. But who knows, more likely than not, they possibly had their hooks in a juror.

yeah apparently he was loyal to both. However according to leonetti lawrence had told people not to reveal important info to phil because he would run and tell his uncle. Leonetti was hurt by that and didnt have much to do with lawrence near the end

I always thought they should have made a movie from "blood & honor" w/ the right production crew, it could have been a good call, even though it was the crow's basic story..but oh yes w/ the right deals, phil could make hollywood an oscar nom 4 his whole 9 yards..can u imagine? w/ maybe marty scors directing??whoa...
