OK.... you have a learning disability. Take a week off from the boards to see if you can learn to listen to a moderator.

Good Job SC. You just "whacked" them....

Same computer, huh? Take a week, too.

Sorry...but that whole thing was pretty funny.

In talking to those who know in Eastie, Mark Rosetti, Darin Bufalino, Jack Vierra, Mark Casella, Shawn Lynch and some of the others listed, all grew up together, and, either hung out and/or went to school together. They've kept in touch with each other through the years, and, have been seen in each others company, and, most likely were up to no good.

No one seems to know how much of a part was played by these long time childhood friends in getting Casella elected as a Representative in Revere, as he was also known to associate with "associates" who were much older than these guys, as were the others.

Damn, this thread was getting heated up nicely. No need for guys to take it off-forum though.

Vinny Gorgeous and JLaFratta both have interesting perspectives. I saw the JLaFratta interview with that yuppie journalist. When he said the politicians a lizard and should crawl on his belly the journalist was probably thinking "Journalism school didn't prepare me for this".

Wrong. Whenever two members start acting like two little kids in a sandbox, throwing hissy-fits and calling each other names, they will be told to take their act off the boards. We don't want any childish crap here.

Did viinyG hey the week off ??

They "whacked" the original VinnyG. I say we petition to bring him back:)

Any more on rossetti they were surpose to come out with a lot of info on august 1, have not herd anything

Nah. He really detracted from any intelligent discussion in the threads he went in to, which was all of them. I prefer the boards clean, with a couple of research tabs open. None of the vulgarity.

Yeah, throwing a joke out now and again is fine. But he was always trying to be the clown in every post. Got old after a while.

agreed!!! i second that!

Changing the subject slightly, does anyone know how Joe Yerardi plays into the Boston OC landscape? I know he was tight with Arthur Gianelli and is still locked up for another little while. Is he a made guy? Also, is there more than one Yerardi involved? I did some research online and there appeared to be a Joe Yerardi who burnt his house down in Newton a few years ago for the insurance money. Then there is the Joe Yerardi who is involved in the gambling ring with Gianelli. But they had wives with different names. I can't figure that out.

yerardi is in his mid 50's by now i would say. He is serving time for the gianleii case. He was in otisville last i heard and prob due out later this year or early next year. Yerardi served bout 10 yrs from 95-2005 but was hooked into the gianelli case because some of gianelli's rackets were yerardi's rackets b4 he went in. AG was supervising them for Joe Y while he was away

I never heard bout him trying to burn his house down. Truthfully i could be wrong but i think he was only home for bout 6 months in 2005 before being locked up again

Thanks barber, I actually think there are a couple of Joe Yerardi's, maybe cousins? The famous Joey Y is the one we're talking about who was with Winter Hill I think. This other guy lived recently in Cohasset and I think went away for a couple of years for tax evasion involving his trucking companies in Dedham and Waltham. I'm not sure how many mobsters have the same name that weren't father and son. I'm pretty sure there are a lot of Yerardi's. I thought there was a 'Billy Y' back in the day who died years ago that was a legbreaker.

They say Mark Widdleton not a rat now, you think laface is a rat?

Have there been any (or many) murders linked to the family in recent years?

BOSTON GLOBE ARTICLE TODAY NAMING MARK ROSSETTI AS AN INFORMANT

http://con-sulting.blogspot.com/2011/08/mark-rossetti-informant-i-told-youuuuuu.html

Just read the artilce. I am sick . He has the info to take down a lot of people .

Well I'm back out of retirement, just want to let everyone know. As we have heard and read Mark Rossetti has been officially named an FBI informant today in the Boston Globe article and from court papers unsealed in his State case. It's old news to me because I know some codefendants along side him in this indictment. The focus from what I'm told is a slew of murders orchestrated by Rossetti and other family members is what the FBI wants and is their focus to prosecute other LCN members in Boston. Their to my knowledge are no new murders currently being investigated, but I'm told in the range from the late 1980's to 2003. There was a slew of mob murders Rossetti committed and knows about that were committed by others. It's going to be interesting how the FBI is going to incorporate the State case with the FBI indictments that are going to be handed down in the imminent future.

i wonder what murders they are interested in?? alot of guys shud be packing there suitcases tonight

Any and all I assume. Probably all of the unsolved ones from the war in the early 90's.

If it's up to 2003, then I wonder if Billy Angelesco is a little nervous right now. He was the main suspect in the Bobby Rogers Santasky murder at Patsy Squillante's bar in Medford/Malden(?). Then Squillante took two to the back of the head in 2004. It was believed he was a witness to the Rogers murder.

Another veteran guy, Vinnie the Pig DeVincent was whacked outside of Medford Sq. in 1996, allegedly for not kicking up to Salemme. So is Salemme back in hot water again?

Well murders under Frank Salemme's reign will be brought to public. Barry Lazarini, Rocco Scali, Robert Donati, Richard Donati, Vincent DeNino, and Vincent Arcieri, and possibly more. These murders were committed when Bobby Corozza challenged Salemme's power through Anthony Ciampi and Mike Romano. Now I think they will be brought into public on what exactly happened to these guys.

Hey Vinny, guess you had some real ggod information, now that the truth has been published in the Boston Globe.

Anything on these characters ?

Vinny Jackson, Greg and Spanky Baliro, Joey Russo,Frankie Martorano, Lightbody, Franny White, Jimmy Dakotis, Dom Serino (Sr. or Jr. ??), Bill Baliro, Johnny Visone, Tommy Rossi, Bobby Kelley, Joe Ruggerio, Bobby Alvino, Johnny Fagone,Bobby Luisi, Joe Barber, also, ever hear of anybody named Pat Cadillac or Fabiano?

I'm not at liberty to comment on those people, if you want to talk about PAST people, or Mark Rossetti, I will, but I'm not going to comment. I'll talk about one guy "Vinny Jackson." His real name is Vincent Descisio, he was a made guy in East Boston. He got diagnosed with brain cancer and killed himself with a gun shot wound to the head.

Anyway it seems Mark Rossetti has been doublecrossed by the FBI, oh I'm shocked. Apparently as reported by the Boston Globe and Richard Delauriers the unit leader for the Boston FBI office, the FBI announced that indeed after learning through intercepted phone calls that Mark Rossetti was a confidential informant, the Massachusetts State Police got permission from Delauriers and the Feds to infurtherence their investigation without interference from the FBI because Rossetti was committing crimes the FBI was not aware of, until of course the Staties informed them. The FBI announced that Rossetti was unknowingly terminated as an informant, and the Staties continued with their investigation and came out with an absolute slam dunk. Now what is to become of Rossetti and the info he passed along, what is to become of the 31 co-defendants, what is to become of the everything????? Joseph Gialanella a.k.a "Jason Peters" and Mike Petrillo have filed motions to dismiss the wiretap evidence because the judge who granted the warrats was unaware of Rossetti's FBI informant status, and they seem to think they are going to score on the motion. Let's see what happens.

Sonny I gave u a quick bio on a few of those guys a page or 2 back

Got some info on the type of damage MR can cause. For the curnt family leaDership he will b able to pin the usual gamling, loansharking and extortion charges. Prob enough to send guys away for 5-10 yrs.

But guys who were involved in the salemme - carrozza war in the early 90's shud prob get a passport ready. There was a lot of murders during that power strugle

Barber I think you are correct my man. Anthony Dinunzio and Anthony Spagnolo are probably going to suffer consequences for gambling, loansharking, and extortion, which because they are admitted LCN members will carry out I think 8-20 year sentences depending upon what a jury will covict them upon. But guys like Mike Prochilo Jr, Sr, Darin Bufalino, Billy Angelesco, all these guys that came up during and right after Salemme will be in hot water. Sources say Darin and Mark killed Robert Donati, Richard Donati, Rocco Scali, Barry Lazzarini, Vincent DeNino, and Vincent Arcieri, as well as murders that are not public. These murders are approaching 25 years unsolved, and all of these men either defied and challenged Frank Salemme's leadership, or were tied in with the Corrozza Faction lead by Anthony Ciampi, Mike Romano Sr., and Vincent "Gigi Portalla" Marino. Robert "Bobby" Donati was a confirmed FBI informant, so that might have been the cause of his murder and his brothers so called "disappearance." But what also has to come into question is entrapment on the FBI's part with a high echelon informant like Mark Rossetti, will he be a credible witness not telling the FBI EVERYTHING he was doing, and will he be credible being a known armored car robber and dope shooter. It all stinks to high heaven, the government is better off letting everyone walk.
