You have a Trump profile picture, I am also a big Trump guy. Don't you realize the extent of the FBI's corruption and willingness to smear a good mans name at this point?

I'm not taking anything personally. You just said that rats don't do 20 years and I gave you three examples of rats that did just that. I'm simply allergic to bullshit.

A good man's name? Hahahahahahaah there's paperwork on the fucking guy!!!! I bet you believe in the lizard people and that every single thing is a conspiracy without any goddamn proof. And I don't give a flying fuck if you support Trump or not

I don't know about White Boy Rick, but let's discuss the other two, shall we? Nicky Barnes could be considered a clear case of racism. Also, he told what he knew, the feds got what they wanted, and threw him away like a piece of garbage. He wasn't that valuable of an informant, for example, they didn't need his cooperation for the next 10 to 20 years, like they do with Mafia turncoats. Also, the government doesn't have as big of a hard-on for black organized crime as they do for the Italians. They even allowed Whitey Bulger to kill and kill and kill again so long as he helped them bring down the Italian mob in Boston. Take all of this into consideration, and it's easy to see why they left Nicky Barnes out to dry.

Now on to Gaspipe Casso. Are you being fucking serious? This guy was still committing crimes in the joint while he had a deal with the feds, plus he lied to them repeatedly about several crimes, and if I'm not mistaken he said he gave them all of his cash then they go and find several hundred thousand dollars stashed away somewhere. How you could possibly throw him into the mix is beyond me. Come with some better examples because those are about the worst examples you could ever come up with.

Ralphie, I love your posts most of the time, so don't get angry. Barnes did not have Mafia guys to give up, and neither did White Boy (Worst nickname ever ) Rick. Casso would not change his testimony to fit in with Massino' so his deal was revoked. If Inendino was informing and giving up his associates, he would have ben treated like Scarpa.

After reading you talked to your priest and disgraced the man's online memorial, you are taking it very personally. I've got nothing else to say to you. Dial 9-8-8- if you need help!

PLEASE DON'T EVER COMMENT HERE AGAIN!!!!!!! I'VE HAD IT WITH YOU.

By the way I no longer see that priest. I have a new priest now

Anyone know what the initials TFIS in the report means?

You just listed guys so I don't have to. Jimmy didn't do 25 years so Herr we are again with you guys talking about shit without knowing the facts. Keep crying over your boy.

That's because Jimmy I wasn't willing to go all the way. He wanted to give them info on truck highjackings, home invasions, a lot of small time shit. This is why the FBI hated the guy. He was a rat who didn't wanna give them the big stuff. My thing is this, a rat is a rat. If he's only telling on some black guys, he's still a rat

All of this a rat is a rat talk is nonsense. I beg to argue that organized crime can't even exist without some level of cooperation with law enforcement. In many cases, it's actually the name of the game if you want to stay on top or in business. All criminal organizations and gangs do it, if they have any sort of power or make any sort of profits.

Ralphie, guess what? You win the clown award of the year.

Are you saying it's ok to rat?

You're the child of the year lol . Seriously, how old are you Rush? I bet you were born this century

I disagree with that. The only level of cooperation they had over with LE was always bribes. That was the mafia or any other groups strength. It has historically been small timers who pass along info to get out of crime. It is constantly changing in the direction of more and more rats in the mafia, that is true. Historically the Mafia's strength came from guys not talking, and taking taking punishment if the time came.

Jace, yes and no. If what you are saying is true, then how come we can go back multiple decades ago, and find all of these high-echelon informants in organized crime? You think guys like Greg Scarpa and Carmine Lombardozzi are an anomaly? I promise you that there were many many more. This is really nothing new. In fact, straight up rats on the witness stand are nothing new. I read about rats way back in the 1900s, during the Mafia-Camorra wars in NYC. The main difference these days is there are WAY MORE! And the fear is 100% gone. The difference these days is rats are far bolder, with their podcasts, YouTube channels, and moving back to their old neighborhoods and laughing in the mob’s face. That's really the only difference I see.

You just said there are WAY more rats these days. You pretty much agree with Jace then. In the old days there was no rat culture, but now we even have priests who believe ratting is a good thing

Way more these days, that are out in the open. But these secret informers have always been plentiful, and there were Sammy Gravanos even in the 1900s.

Have you ever heard of Ralph "The Barber" Daniello? He was testifying from the witness stand way back in 1917!

No one is denying that rats have existed since the dawn of man, but there are definitely way more cooperators today than ever before. Not just "out in the open" ones. The culture was different and people were afraid of the mob too. They actually used to kill people for squealing. There weren't many rats back in the day, so you can't say plentiful

Dude, there were a lot of rats back in the day, maybe not as much as today, but still a lot. And I'm including the confidential informants with CI numbers and 302s or whatever they called that shit, there were a lot!

Most black guys were rats, that I agree with. But made guys (Italian)? Extremely few

If we're comparing it to today's standards, yes, very few. But still a lot more than what I'm comfortable with.

well i thought i'd wait until things cooled down here. dont know much about inendinos early criminal life around the time of his alleged cooperation. some on here stated he did 10 of 20 years in the can. others that he did the full 20? was he not part of the wild bunch group of hitmen working for ferriola in late 70's? the wild bunch have been connected to dozens of murders. with that being said so was whitey bulger and he was allowed to operate by the fbi. upon inendinos release he was soon caught up in another indictment (jan.13 2001) out of cicero along with mike spano sr,emil schullo et al for corruption of the towns administration. inendino was then sentenced in 2002 to 6.5yrs only to be released oct. 15 2008. the possibility exists that after his release from first sentence he no longer was cooperating with fbi or anyone. if he was how does one explain the 6.5 year sentence in 2002? one could think that perhaps he was feeding info to feds in 70's and he got burnt by them when he got tossed in can for 20 years. maybe after his release he no longer played that game again which may explain getting imprisoned yet again.

all to say at this point looking at the modern day outfit in 2023 its a mute point because hes dead. if however say in april 2023 a massive wide ranging indictment comes down decapitating the highest ranks of the outfit well then we have our answer as to if inendino was continuing to cooperate. i much like other on here do not like the fact that this info was released so quickly after his death very underhanded and disrespectful. jeepers let the guy get in the ground FFS.

To me the impression I get and have heard from others is that Jimmy purposely gave the FEDS False information and they have had a chip on their shoulder ever since. He played them as suckers that they are. So once he passed away they released the info to make him look bad to others. Even though everyone in the Chicago outfit knows it is bullshit and never did anything to bring down the Chicago mob which was the feds original plan all along.

There were not so many "secret informers" who were made back in the old days. Scarpa yes, but on Lombardozzi there is no proof, just a few people online who started the ball rolling. For the most part there was little ratting. Look at all the unsolved murders, scores made, and how many old timers (Carlo Gambino, Accardo,
and others never were imprisoned despite massive all-out efforts by the fBI and police to imprison them. ON Gambino the only thing they had was a group of junkies who did a robbery and agreed to say Gambino planned it with them. The did not get Genovese into prison through mafia members, but through a small time Puerto Rican who lied on the stand and said Genovese backed him on a deal.

You're a fucking idiot. All RATS give false information

Ralphie go blow your sisters ass.

My sister died from a brain aneurysm six years ago. What a horrible thing to say

The truth about Inendino's full cooperation will eventually come out in the wash. Through FOIA documents released to the public, etc.

But if its shown that Inendino cooperated with law enforcement, for even 1 single day, then he's a stone rat. And there's NO fuckin "debating" it! Just like you can't be a "little" bit pregnant. You're either pregnant, or you're not. It's the same exact thing with being an informant. Neither can you be a "little bit" of an informant. Inendino either spilled beans on people, or he didn't.

If he did, for even a short period of time, let alone over a span of years as has been reported, for two lengthy time periods, at different intervals in his life no less, then how the hell could any sensible person still debate the issue here? WTF is wrong with some people?

And if "certain" posters feel so strongly about this, one way or the other, then why don't they put their money where their mouths are, and access his FBI file through the FOIA, instead of just talking cheap shit?

Open up your wallets and let the moths out fellas...Cough up a few dollars of that communion money to find out what the truth is. Instead of just spouting mindless bullshit in a pissing contest like a bunch of adolescents?

He's been branded a fuckin rat! LOL

And until someone can prove otherwise, thats Jimmy Inendino's new "category."
