Youtube flipped mikey flattop derosa, pretty good story about this guy in the early 90's lucchesse family that ended of flipping, was a good watch, also after he did his time he is now doing pretty well in legit buisiness, and has another youtube video called wiser guys, thought it was a good watch to anyone that hasn't seen those videos.

I dont know what he is doing that is legit and what makes him successful?
I know he was with froggy Gallione, but who was Gallione actually under?

I guess he is or was doing well with real estate and some other buisiness's, if ya get a chance to watch those videos it talks about it more. I'm not glorifying him in anyway other than I liked the videos. Don't know who Gallione was under but he was a made member of the lucchesse family.

Here's the link to "Wiser Guys"...LoL..SMH

They were under gallione.. And I'm not sure don't going ape shit if its not true but I heard the skipper they were under was george conti.. They must have made a fortune selling that free base back then when shit was booming.
I watched that "wiser guys" youtube clip.. Not talking shit but what a joke.. Sounds to me like group of guys sitting around talking about how they wish they were still in the streets and didn't all become rats.
The time period they were on the streets was pretty wild though with all the young idiots quick to shoot... All in brooklyn. Had all the bath ave guys who were around joe benanti and under spero..then you had the 20th ave colombo guys.. Big dino, little dino, joey caves. And that's just mentioning the light weights up and coming. Think of all the fucking lunatics around brooklyn late 80's-90's. Gas,zappola,conti-scarpa..

And to a man, look how well things worked out for them.

Yep.. Didn't quite work out how they planned I guess.. I think scarpa got it the worst.. Makes me wonder about karma... Guy runs wild his whole life, lying,cheating, stealing and killing, lots of killing.. Gets aids from his own crew..gets his eye shot out, all the fbi snitch bullshit.. And ends up on his deathbed weighing like 65lbs.
Knocking on hells door.

Scarpa I think did have the best name ever for his club.. The wimpy boys.. Always thought that was funny. Bunch of cold blooded killers sitting outside a place in lawn chairs that reads "wimpy boys sc.

Early 90s was def the craziest when it came from young guys.Also the giannini crew and john pappa it was a time when gotti got put away and the mob was all in the news so the young guys wanted to make a name for themselves
