Reading articles on philly.com and came across this one: http://articles.philly.com/1987-05-09/news/26164401_1_extortion-trial-nicholas-caramandi-scarfoWhat caught my attention was this part: "Caramandi said he had gotten word at one point that Scarfo intended to kill his two young daughters, and that he believed it." I searched on google for information and only found the sentence in a couple other articles on philly.com.. Those articles claimed the reason Caramandi flipped was due to the above quote. Quote from one of the articles: "Caramandi said he became a government informant only after learning Scarfo wanted him dead, and threatened harm to his daughters." This caught my eye for three reasons; 1.) I thought Caramandi flipped because of Long John saying Scarfo wanted him dead (although it does say that above), 2.) I've never heard his daughters were threaten, and 3.) I thought family members were left out of mob violence. So my question is did Scarfo really threaten this or is this Caramandi lying to justify ratting? Anybody got some more info?

Didn't Caramandi say in a documentary that he thought he was going to get killed by Nicky for screwing up the Rause waterfront extortion deal were the Crow got himself arrested? I too have never heard anything about Nicky killing his daughters. Nicky was nuts but not that nuts. He puts that reason forth in his book too, but that he also heard that from Long John. The reality is Scarfo wasn't going to kill him or really upset about it, he just expected The Crow to take his sentence. Yeah. That's what I always heard/read. And I agree about Scarfo not being that nuts, Beanshooter. That's why I found it so odd.
