“Today, because you don’t have the resources, you don’t have the manpower, and you got that news hold, that 24/7 cycle, you go out there for a story you come back, you better have something to write.”
With the internet and social media playing a big role in how people get their news, because of the immediacy, there is less time for journalists to research the facts.
“With the media the way it is now, there aren’t as many checks and balances as there used to be,” he said. “There is so much crap floating around out there, and it’s easy to get caught up in the hysteria of get it out, get it done, get it fast, be first. It’s more important to be right.” Well said.

Nicky Crow wishes he hadn't ratted, to this day. A lot of old timers are getting out and Nicky thinks Long John just played him. Not saying Scarfo was the forgiving type, but hey, you never know.. and Long John probably had a lot to gain by causing this domino effect and ending the Scarfo era forever.
-I shot him a coupla' times. -What's a couple? -Hmm, more than a couple... Really I don't know the exact amount, maybe I shot him 10 times, 12 times? -Maybe fifteen? -Hmm, it could've been fifteen...

Mafia prince was a great read but i cant stand leonettis ego I haven't read Mafia Prince but it can't be any worse than D'Arco's sense of self-importance.
I invoke my right under the 5th amendment of the United States constitution and decline to answer the question.

What is the timeline for philly mobsters flipping?
-Nick Caramandi (1986) -Tommy Delgiorno (1986) -Eugene Milano (1987) -Larry Merlino (1988) -Phil Leonetti (1989)
Is that correct? Did Caramandi or Delgiorno flip first? If i am remembering right , Don't know if Tommy did it was so obvious when the indictment came down on the Crow he was going to flip ! And this was before all the jail house maneuvering . Don't matter Caramandi was still going to pull off one more racket this time on the Feds but they got him in the end and by the way he sounds he wished he did his time.

Did lawrence merlinos kids and family really just cutt him off. I find it hard to belive after getting locked up in 1987 doing 10 yrs they just cutt him off even his nephew joey probaly didnt care if he was living back in the sticks of new jersey. But i think his kids testified infront of the casino commission a few years back that they did cutt there father off and didnt even no were he was burried. At first the kids were around there cousins (Skinny) and others but as time want on they did not feel same way . In the end they were with and loved there father . The wife and boys went on to build Yogis business (Nat Nat)into a great business and it was not long after the money was rolling in and who try's to extort his own family with the excuse that there father flipped " yes Skinny ! The business is still very strong and is under a different name. (Bay shore rebar) Tommy Del had a small condo right off ninth street in Ocean City NY 9 th street is the main drag in . The Feds knew that they could wire it up (and knew he was week)at will and did , and yes they had him talking bad about the boss drunk and sober and of course once it was played they did not even need gambling or any other reason to flip him .... he should have never been made he should of been left as a associate earner he was not all Italian .

Anyone could post a google pic of tommy dels condo. Curious. Thought it was in a tower thou. It was not a tower " it's was a low rise maybe five or six floors , and there were two or three, it was the second building off the boardwalk in Ocean City NJ pool was out the front toward the boards. I can not remember the name of it . And there a chance it's no longer there but you can try 9th street and the boardwalk second building back because the could never get the end property it was a popular old time movie house , so they built around it.
