Fantastic share that showcases the government's hypocrisy in regards to Gaspipe.

Here they happily cite his testimony to keep people in jail, but ignore it when it conflicted with Sammy the Rat's testiomony vs Gotti.

"the Parole Commission finds the information from the U.S. Attorney's Office on your personal responsibility for several of the murders (victims Schleifer, Taglianetti, and DeCicco) and attempted murder (victim Abinanti) to be credible and reliable, even though much of the information may have come from Anthony Casso, one of the most violent members of your organization"

so is that information available in testimony somewhere? Because it looks to me like the government is attempting to introduce evidence in a probationary hearing that isnt a matter of record per cross-examined testimony.





Also lets remember Gaspipe had no problem using the Demo crew....he used them for the Reznikov murder.

One of the most interesting thoughts I had about the original leader of this Family Tom Gagliano. This guy was such a shadow I wonder if members of other Families even knew he existed. I know Bosses knew who he was but I wonder about soldiers on the streets. Could it have been that people just assumed it was Tommy Brown running the whole show. It would seem even if you were in this group, if you were made after 1950, you didn't even know about him. They kept him pretty quiet

"For being the smallest brugad (about 120-140 made men), they sure did have men who were quite the money makers. Vario, Abate, Tom Mix, Eddie Coco, Johnny Dio, Big Sam, Tony Ham Delasco, etc. Lukes went from being a well-oiled machine under Tony Ducks to nothing but brokesters under Amuso and Gaspipe."

Njein, you're full of shit, the Luccheses were still making serious money for the rest of the 1980s and into the early 90s, under Amuso and Casso. They were far from brokesters. Sure they were lousy bosses who destroyed the Lucchese Family, but to call them brokesters when they got a big piece of the gasoline bootlegging scam and the window replacement scam is a stretch. Also, the Colombos have always been the smallest.
