hes from Medford i believe. rat, wrote a book. called Rogue Mobster.

Being a homebody aside, just finished Underboss. What an interesting city! Great history! The people are charectors! Anguilo was a trip! Its makes it sound if he didnt have his brother's he would have been shining shoes? Is this the case?

More like the other way around, Jerry was a genius with numbers, that was his claim to fame. Any bookie in the country could lay off bets with him and his organization. He had the bankroll to do it. He was cheap as a ^&%$# and didn't drink, womanize or gamble...

Didnt the book(Underboss) the feeling that the author didnt like Gerry? Made it sound like Frank was the brain and Danny was the muscle, thats why I try to stay away from skewed books, articles etc

As Gerry would always say "I don't need tough guys, I need smart tough guys".

You are not wrong though, Danny did "work" for the family and worked out of Cafe Pompeii for years. Frank was just the day time bookkeeper, lol...

The best line from the wiretaps! "YOU SPEAK AMERICAN?"

Here's a short story on Boston Mob Wars by Allan May

http://allanrmay.com/Mob_War_in_Beantown.html

Hey I wonder with all these changes if any of the old renegade faction like rida or ralph scarpa gets made I know the scarpa family is from oreint hieghts and his family run deep and years of connected people pure killers and gangsters wonder if anthony caimpi is making moves ??.

And yea meffa the book is called last rites action packed good book u ask me

Anthony ciampi an Michael romano are still locked up an never heard of no scarpa in Boston

Well I belive there locked up an if they get out they will probably get made

They were the only ones who didn't corporate with the feds...from all the young guys...

What do Boston locals think of Mark Wahlberg?

I was watching an interview with him last night and you can see that he really thinks he's an Irish gangster from Southie .

All kidding aside, he's become a very good actor. But he pissed me off last year with those 9/11 comments. You know, about how one of the planes wouldn't have gone down if he was on the flight .

Not to get off topic but I've heard Whalberg's actually very humble and a good father and husband. But I don't blame you for getting pissed PB I've heard the stories, including the one where people were digging up fingernails from the rubble.

I can see that. He looks like a decent guy. And I really enjoy his films. The 9/11 comments pissed me off when he made them. But they're not something that I'll continually remind myself of.

Besides producing Boardwalk Empire, I read that Wahlberg also has a reality show about the Teamsters in pre-production.

What did he say about 911?

rida, scarpa, or any of them have never been made, rida is mike romano's cousin from worcester, and he got involved with that case because he ran a bookmaking operation out in worcester and was having problems with people out there and he also helped in the takeover attempt after romano's son was killed!

mike romano is still in prison in a low security federal prison in Butner NC, his release date is 3/27/2016 anthony ciampi has been in a halfway house since july and his actual release date is tomorrow 1/10/2013 he has been runng a thrift store in East Boston called Hidden Treasures which is in the day square section of East Boston, neither one of those guys are made either, although ciampi became very very close to Bobby Russo Carrozza while they were in federal holding down in the Wyatt Detention facility in RI, rumor on the street was that ciampi's mother had been dating carrozza the past 3 years or so

a bunch of them didn't tell the diaz kid scarpa ciampi gigi marino patti n.couple more did their times mouth shut but nazzaro ralph scarpa come from a family of gangster from eastie orient hieghts bad motherucker whole family respected amongst the biggestg gangsters going way back

Very good stuff eastside nicky how about sean cote he was involved in a lot tell me a little about him I know he died of an overdose don't know what info he gave at trial I know he piece things together for the feds and that he was involved and played key roles tell me about him if u know easide nicky

nazzaro ralph scarpa is in MCI Concord finishing up a 5-7 year sentence for selling coke (again) to an undercover state trooper back in Aug of 09, gettin out in a couple, guys been in and out his whole entire life just like alot of those guys in that case, Life on the installment plan they call it, ralph would never get made cause he was too much of a knuckle head, real tough guy at only 5'7" balls as big as the come but dumber than a bag of rocks. Scarpa and his partner john patti were drug dealers for years and years, scarpa once had a limo company called snow white limosine, like i said dumb as a bag of rocks!!!

sean cote was a sick kid! Burned his parents house down when he was little in the oak Island section of Revere, he was about 10 or so, ever since then he turned real bad, started stealing cars then got involved with a bunch of stick up artists robbing banks by cutting holes in the roof of the banks disarming the alarms and then lying in wait for the bank mngr to hold up the bank and get right into the safe they called them the hole in the roof gang for awhile, they robbed jewelry store as well as banks like that, then he ended up meeting patti and scarpa in the can and after they all were out in 93 and 94, they all hooked up selling drugs and doing scores and cote was also freinds with romano's kid mike jr who got killed by mistake, and he joined the romano carrozza faction to avenge mike jr.s death. was one of the best car theives ever and a good wheel man but in spite of everything written about him he was no killer

He said if he was on the plane (which he was supposed to be) that crashed into the train towers, things would have turned out differently.

Ciampi is out wow he did a tin of time...never heard a a few of those guys..nicky u from eastie

East side nicky lol

That was hysterical! And I agree with you - the author didn't seem to like Gerry at all...

Seth Mcfarlene who made Family guy and voices Peter,Stewie,Brian,Ted,Etc was supposed to be on one of the planes.

What was the story with the Romano kid's murder? His father ended up shooting a guy to death in East Boston in broad daylight because of it (Joe Souza? I knew a girl who was dating him at the time and actually had to testify at some of the trials back then). Was that the guy who killed his son? I also heard that the scumbag who murdered the trooper Charbonnier was involved as well. And was Ponzo involved, he left the car with the flat for the kid to change, how convenient.
