So joining the ranks of Franzese, Pennisi, Leonetti, Gravano and the other fakes and flakes like Raimondi, Alite, and other such trash, now Michael di Leonardo is doing his own podcast as well. Haven't listened to it yet, and I can't really imagine that he'll cover a whole lot of new ground here that the others haven't - but I'll be the first to admit that I'll give it a listen the minute I have a chance to do so. Always thought Scars was one of the more credible government witnesses, although I must admit I'm a little disappointed to see him getting into the podcast game. At the same time, perhaps he will reveal some new information for the first time for all us buffs. We'll see. For anyone who wants to check it out: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWgheRxK2j4aq_SrGPCZHOg

He was running a strip club, which the Gambino put him into, plus they gave him other things. He stole fro the, once and got a pass, likely can he ws close to Junior. Then he did it again. After his arrest he turned rat, and even testified against Junior Gotti. Naturally he blames everyone in the mob. He also uses the trick of "Being himself up" as they say. In other words, he calls himself a rat, a snitch, and other things in order to deter people from saying it about him. His co host should wear a cheerleader skirt and wave pom moms. He keeps making excuses for DiLeonardo whenever he admits to being a rat. I watched once, he wears these small granny glasses to look softer. Why wear reading glasses when doing an interview but not reading?

I believe he was shelved while he was in prison and that was his excuse ultimately. Of course the Gambino family of that era in particular was still a dysfunctional mess still trying to recover from the Gotti era, even as John & Peter Gotti remained the titular bosses.
DiLeonardo's defection seemed to me like one of those totally preventable flips that wouldn't have happened if the family had strong leadership on the street at the time.
. True Just tuned in 2 this....I always wondered how a flunky dumbo like Peter Gotti could b elected or appointed or whatever 2 b boss in the 1rst place?......
I didn't want to leave blood on your carpet...

DiLeonardo is a worse type of rat in my opinion. You need to be drug tested if you think that Dileonardo is worse than that scumbag Sammy who kills his own friends in order to take over their business.

From where I'm sitting, it seems like from the early 1990s and before, guys had pretty solid reasons for flipping, but as time went on and the fear of retaliation decreased, we start seeing guys flip left and right over every little thing. Oh my capo said something to hurt my feelings? Flip. A soldier from another crew looked at me funny? Flip. If I'm not mistaken that Bent Finger Lou guy from Philly flipped over a 5-year sentence. It's a joke. Good point after Gravano the flood gates were opened. Whoever had any sort of gripe flipped. Mostly it was because they wanted out and found an excuse to do so. Almost like when you are in a relationship and want out So you look for any reason to fight and break up You say it was for this or that but thats just a B.S. excuse.
