Why? I see so many posting pics on social media with rats like they are celebrities or something. I don't get it. Very disappointed and its fucked up to say the least.
.

Well, a lot of rats dress incredibly well. I don't like rats either, but I wouldn't hold it against you if John Alite was your personal stylist. I almost feel like the Gambinos should consider letting him back in because of his exceptional fashion sense. I mean look at him

He may be the most handsome man in the world. No joke.

Because the real stand up men that kept their mouth shout and are in prison are not so glamour.

Because the mob themselves isn't doing anything about it, they let them disrespect their culture on YouTube and social media.

You know what's really a trip? How so many Murder Incorporated gangsters went quietly to the electric chair without even trying to cut a deal, and here we are today with so-called "gangsters" who can't even do 5 or 10 years, or run to the feds if they think someone might put 2 in the back of the head, which isn't anywhere near as painful as the electric chair. They don't make'em like they used to.

They do make nothing like they "used to." lol

Guys are literally flipping these days because their feelings are hurt lol. I think back on all the jobs I would've walked out on because the boss hurt my feelings lol.

It’s the closest any of us will come to rubbing shoulders with the mob, even if they are former mob and rats who put dozens away to save their own skin.
So people feel they are standing with Carlo Gambino himself when they take a selfie with every rat associate or made guy rat out there.

Its a money maker...Johnny Aload claims to have killed more people since the Capone's Valentine's Massacre, and suckers believe him

LOL. definitely. And you used the correct word too...because thats what they are, "suckers" !!

That is pretty amazing, and shows the difference in the times we live in compared to then.

Exactly Jace, and I'll be honest, I don't think I'd take the electric chair for anyone if I had a way out lol. But I can't give you a definite answer over prison time. I'm leaning more towards I'd just take whatever sentence I'm facing unless I could get one of those sweet plea deals without ratting, but of course I can't ever be 100% sure unless I'm in that predicament. But based on the information we're given, we as the audience are entitled to our opinions on whether or not a specific rat was justified in flipping or not. I'm not one of those idiots who say that you have to be a gangster to have an opinion that's just ridiculous.

People love watching the results of a car crash ! It’s kind of the same … there only a couple that I would give more than a minute of my time and one is Michael Scars DiLeonardo … the others are telling some tall tales and destroying history .

Can anyone tell me why Gene Borrello is so popular? Like what has he really done?

I think it’s the entertainment factor. He causes arguments and is controversial which in fairness it is pretty funny sometimes. But as someone who finds the inner workings of the mob interesting I’m not buying his views when he starts insulting people who were actually inducted, associates sit on YouTube saying made guys are full of shit. Well we definitely know you’re full of shit cause you never were made lol

Like i said … its like a car reck on side of the road and almost everyone has to slow or stop and look … Gene is shot out !

Gene Borrello really doesn't know shit about the mob to be someone from the life. Me as a mob buff knows more than he does. For instance, he called Gaspipe the boss of the Lucchese Family, he was never the boss. That's just one example from a video I seen where Bill Staxx showed what a moron and a liar he is.

What do you call a bunch of guys who post photos and stories about mobsters on the internet? R-A-T-S lol At least these guys actually were in the life. We are just fanboys.

How many subscribers does he have ???

His videos never come up on Youtube

Fan boys, whatever you want to call it, we were never bound by any codes so we can post what we want. Truth be known the mob buffs know more about the mob than many guys "in the life" such as boneheads like Gene Borrello, not to mention better educated with a better vernacular. Impossible for us to be rats for posting common knowledge, this is history. We didn't claim to be gangsters and then bitch out like the Gene Borrellos and the John Alites.

Liggio and whats funny is guys like you and I dress better than most mobsters today!

Lol Rush, you may have a point there. And that's not saying much as far as me goes lol.

To elaborate more on what I was saying, I think we fan boys, mob buffs, or whatever you call it have a passion for the subject, whereas guys in the life whether they're made or not are just living in the moment and only see the life for whatever they can get out of it, even if it's a get-out-jail free card and a podcast career.

DiLorenzo, Gene Borrello has over 60,000 followers on Instagram for crying out loud. And they're all over his dick. I even seen one fan say, "they better be lucky Gene's retired," under his photo in the comments. Like WTF? So he retired rather than ratted now? And they call us fanboys just for posting content, at least I don't suck their dicks in comment sections.

We are not fan boys. That relates to men who want to suck their cocks.

We are in fact mob historians.

Well, I wouldn't know, I'm not on Intsagram....That's just pictures right ??

60,000 followers...Nice country !!!

Don't forget the cigar. Completes the "look" whether you're "real," "fake," or a "wannabe."

I don't think we really know what these so-called 'codes' really were in practice -only what we've been told. These are narcissitic sociopathic criminals who prey on people and most of them are selling and doing drugs - those guys in NYC had teen prostitutes - anything they can to make money - rats and snitches have been part of the mafia as long as its been around because that's what it attracts - sociopaths. A bunch of these guys are so broke they are now doing YouTube - some could argue even current guys who haven't flipped (Merlino) are starting to get into this too to make a buck. The mafia has always profited on its image - plenty of these guys wrote books and bios over the years even guys like Jonny Fratto in the entertainment business and Fred Pacente (who I knew loosely) were making money off this a decade ago. I don't think this is much different, just a modern version and to be honest - its the fanboys who make them so popular. Random people are not listening to Gene Borello and Merlino - its all of us lol.

Yeah I see podcasts as just another scam or racket. I’m not sure why we think these criminals don’t adjust with the time. If they can make money on it, why wouldn’t they?
