Moe, the only conspiracy was when Eppolito and Caracappa first made eye contact and fell in love. RICO was the love child.
No one set those two up. They set themselves up. I read Mafia Cop before they went to jail. Even back then, you could tell by reading Eppolito's book, that something was def wrong with him. The police brutality he bragged about in the book was disturbing. That book gives the reader sort of an insider birds eye view of police brutality from the cop's standpoint. Forget about rackets. Just for the brutality alone illustrated in that book, he should have done time.
BTW, I just finished reading Donnie Brasco: Unfinished Business. If one reads between the lines in that book, it is clear that Eppolito and Caracappa had help in leaking info to Cosa Nostra from inside their police department. But the other leaker/co-conspirator was never caught. Neither was the FBI mole of Casso or the unnamed members of the Demeo crew or Murder Incorporated from the 30's. But that's another thread.

bad cops aren't new to the nypd. bad cops go back for ever, remember abe reles who supposedly jumped out of a window, oc cant survive without bad cops. and nypd has always led the nation with cops who look the other way. eppolito and his partner are just the tip of the iceberg. nypd is rampant with bad cops. It's a shit job, and if they don't want it then they should have stayed in school. Because the average cop is just about as dumb as the average street guy. But it's not as bad as it used to be. Furthermore, I think that corruption in police departments goes on everywhere. And per capita, it's probably even more rampant in small towns. Go get yourself pulled over in upstate New York or the rural south. Tell me those guys aren't straight out of Deliverance.

They're the scum of the earth. If you're gonna be a crook, fine, then be one and don't give up your friends. But if you're going to be a cop, then be a damn cop.
Your job is to protect and serve the people. If you're unhappy with the pay, then you shouldn't have taken the fucking job. A dirty cop is every bit as despicable as a wiseguy who gives up his friends. Maybe even worse because you have to expect the worst from a career criminal. Oh it's clear that Eppolito and Caracappa are even worse than organized crime, even worse against the rats in organized crime. They are the enablers. It's only because of "law enforcement" like Eppolito and Caracappa than organized crime can even prosper and exist, therefore these two "police" are a worse evil than organized crime itself. What's worse than them? If they both then turn and rat on each other and try to send the other packing to some super max prison for life? LOL. I guess we can give them credit for not ratting *each other* out? LOL. Forget it, they are just dirtbags.

Wasn't eppilito 's fingerprints on police documents found in Rosario Gambino's drop ceiling? And he was let off on some type of misunderstanding by the judge? Lol I kinda want to read what kind of wild conspiracy their families say they got caught up in lol And it still kills me he was in Goodfellas

And it still kills me he was in Goodfellas Yes, his mitten prints were on everything. Joe Pistone says that no one knows what the Mafia cops did for the Gambinos. That's pretty amazing. We know that for the Luccheses, the Mafia cops were involved in multiple homicides. So basically, we don't know the half, and the other conspirators got away. As for Hollywood, yeah, the wiseguys and connected guys didn't have a problem getting roles. A rumor I read on the internet (don't know if there is any truth to it) was that Lenny Montana (Luca Brasi) was a mafia enforcer hired on set, flubbed his lines in Brando's presence due to being star struck, and probably had like 12 bodies behind him. When you think about how some people got their roles and the type of people hired to play parts in movies, you can't envy the stars of Hollywood for their fame.

I read the same about the guy who played Luca. I saw a doc on the behind the scenes of The Godfather and apparently a lot of the background people are real deal wiseguys and there were a lot on set trying to give pointers lol. Columbo guys mostly. Caan got really close with Persico during the filming.

Wiseguys hanging around movie sets was rampant back then, especially when the subject matter was about them. It goes all the way back to George Raft and his obsession with hanging out with hoodlums (he had a lot in common with James Caan in that respect). Back in the early '60s, Sinatra and Company made a fun musical called "Robin and the Seven Hoods." There are at least two bona fide killers in that film. One of them even had a small speaking role  .

Fed with ties to mob pushes for release after Miami murder case overturned
By David Ovalle dovalle@MiamiHerald.com 10/14/2014 3:42 PM Nearly five months after an appeals court reversed his murder conviction in Miami on a legal technicality, ex-Boston FBI agent John Connolly remains behind bars as prosecutors fight to keep him imprisoned. At issue: Prosecutors immediately asked Miami’s Third District Court of Appeal to reconsider a May ruling in favor of Connolly, whose relationship with notorious Boston mobster James “Whitey” Bulger became the basis for the 2006 crime drama movie The Departed.
