I didn't know Brasco met Persico, I knew he was involved in Hijacking with Jilly Greca and his crew. I think they appointed him to The Bonanno family because I believe Persico and his family were going down anyway.

He never met Persico. They put him with the Bonanno's because Jilly's crew was a dead end, as was mentioned in this thread. Mirra was a big target. Persico was in jail during the whole Brasco investigation. They weren't targeting Persico.

Does/has anyone seen a recent picture of the "snake" of know as to his daily routines and outside contact with his family....

He is in prison unless they do an Interview with him like they did with The Iceman.

You still get more recent mugshots taken i'm not sure why but i saw a documentary about Charlie Manson not long ago with mugshots from 2005 as well as the mugshot of a dying Gotti and others .

I haven't saw any recent pictures taken in 2012 or 2011, The only "RECENT" ones that I have seen were in 2004 - 2005 period.

I wasn't meaning every year i think for life sentences they take a new mugshot every 10 years or so .

after carmine was convicted in the commission case he was negotiating to go on 60 minutes to do an interview

guys like gotti, cutolo, and orena called carmine a rat for doing that and for admitting the existence of la cosa nostra while on trial

when alley boy and gotti jr were on the street alley was still pissed off about gotti sr calling carmine a rat, gotti jr apologized to alley boy so there wouldn't be any hard feelings

I would like if Persico did have an Interview about him, He's not getting out any sooner so he should tell what he was involved with, with people who are now dead that he was involved with not sayin' names about people who are still living. I want to hear how he talk's like I did with Carlo Gambino. I was on a documentary once and someone asked a question to Gambino but he never did answer. Good for him but not for me, too bad.

Thats pretty funny

carmine persico , scarfo and frank locascio have eben in jail for like 30 yrs these guys cant die but propbaly want to vis amuso and chric tic to tommy k. i feel sorry for snakes kid allie boy the kids been in the last 12 yrs did 10 in the 80tys and got life to go, he's only like 56 wow. he was a serial killer thou. but cant the 3 or 4 capo in the colombo family just vote for a new boss you think when massino was boss in 2000 him and the rest of the bosses would have forced them to but there was still persico family on the street. im guess ing john baudanza is running the family now guessing he's only 60+ well none and played the fence in the war. he got a big family to.

I have respect for Greg Scarpa. All that I have heard was that he gave information about other crime families and people in his way which would help Greg and the feds, does anyone know if he gave information about his own friends?

Oh yes he did. His information sharing started in the early 1960s when he gave up a lot on Charlie LoCicero who was his sponsor, mentor and may have been his closest "friend" in the mob at that time. And other "friends" as well. However, he was rather sparse on information when it came to his brother. If memory serves me right, he only confirmed his brother´s membership in the Mafia, never revealed his activities or wrongdoings.
Another thing Scarpa never spoke about (again, if memory serves me right) was his involvement in murders.

If you're interested or haven't already seen them here's a link to Scarpas FBI files.

I understand working with the FBI would be good help for the FBI and Greg but not giving up his friends.

Love this! Thank you.

Wow, good stuff !!

No problem

i lived in the neighborhood 45 years and theres never been a guy who had the rep that scarpa did during his time. for that family anyways. there was tons of guys youd meet coming up,scarpa was serious as they come. for all the ppl toomy karate killed, he was hard to bare. he acted and sounded like joe pescis little brother... but scarpa was...well 'serious'.

needless to say when those kids took a shot at him half of new york was fucking shocked.

Camarel!!!! Nice find!

Don't see this guy that makes the charts on here , (Murk) i think,but the colombo family is wrong ,there are all new capos and a bunch of new made guys.

The top are close but the rest is all redone .
They have been working hard .

(don't know where he gets info but it must be hard to do
hope he gets with his contacts and does them again)

guy was dying of aids at the time too. was it known amongst the colombos that he had aids or did he keep it a secret?

i think i remember reading somewhere that scarpa told everyone that he had cancer.

Scapa even lost a sitdown afterwards between these young unmade punks

Other than his relationship with the FBI dude seemed like a hardcore gangster.

Joe Baudanza is with Columbo's.....John his nephew is with Luchesse.
