The part 2 has been released : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VBfSb4kSLsSome interesting stories about Vic Amuso, the N'Dranghetta, his involvement in loansharking, a potential hit on John Alite... He also mentions a few occasions where he randomly met with made guys from the Lucchese Family after he became an informant. I 'm surprised he would stay in the area.

Great interview. I wonder who runs the Lucchese Bronx faction these days I would say that alleged Consigliere Andrew DeSimone is the main Bronx faction leader over the 2 Bronx crews. Thats if there are still 2 Bronx Crews anymore. I wouldn't be surprised if after Crea and company's downfall they might have put everyone in the Bronx under 1 Capo.

Great interview. In a strange way, Pennisi almost comes across as a nice guy. I read a blog with Penissi where he was told the Lucchese’s do not recognize Merlino as boss of Philly. Its also interesting how he says John Alite was in danger of getting hurt because he was showing up at NJ casino’s and elsewhere. He also implies that Alite got beat up at a restaurant. Ive been posting about Skinny not being recognized by some NY families years ago and many many times , not just not recognized but disliked and also hits put out on him .Now of course a few years back it came out . But it just goes to show you how fucked up the life is when New York they cant get a hit done on a Philly self proclaimed boss . Same thing with how guys run there mouth to chicks ... i found out more top level shit in less then a week and 100% was all from the girls ...they just didn’t take how serious the stuff they were repeating. The neighborhood knew as soon as it was herd who was who and what was what ... proving it was a totally different thing.

That's news to me. I'm guessing it goes back to when Amuso and Scarfo were jailed together and Scarfo was trying to take over the Family through his son. It's interesting that it's still going on. The Lucchese Family has a big NJ faction which is pretty close to the Philly Family. I remember seeing a recent picture of one of the Perna kids with some Philly made guys. So it must be weird for the Lucchese guys to interact with Philly guys but not recognize their boss. (Edit : and with this post, I now am a Made Guy  )

part 3 has been released ten days ago : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Si9vGtVJhFgIt's getting better. The story about the beef between the Bonanos and the Luccheses is great. I've never heard it before and it sounds like a pretty big deal. Basically, Matty Madonna said the Lucchese didn't recognize Mickey Mancuso as Boss which infuriated the Bonnanos. So they send a large group of guys, including capos and made guys to the main Lucchese social club in the Bronx in order to confront Madonna and Crea. He also tells an interesting story about Ralph DeLeo and Vito Guzzo. I must say i didn't understand everything about that story so if someone can explain it it'll be great. It's about someone getting made in jail. He talks about the Merlino dinner and his association with Tall Pete Inzerillo.

Why is this guy talking ? Does he have a book deal ? Why is he making all these enemies beyond whatever he did to stay out of the joint . No idea. But i'm glad he is talking as much as he is. Always interesting to hear from a member source. Especially one as recent as him

Why is this guy talking ? Does he have a book deal ? Why is he making all these enemies beyond whatever he did to stay out of the joint . Was wondering that myself alot families are going to hurting because this guy is talking... Alot kids with out their dads, wife's with out their husbands etc.. II mean alot guys that cooperate go out of their way to try to protect peopl they considered real friends. I As you said if he had to he had to now, he is just taking everyone down with the ship. Almost like if ny life is ruined I'll ruin everybody's life that I can.
