Zero sources! Zero! Aside from the ever shrinking FBI crime-family squad supervisors feeding him their propaganda; he has zero street cred. Who runs what? Who's who, aside from the few blocks of Italians remaining where the FEDs linger to finish out their pensions.
Lawyers are a huge source of info too - I personally know two lawyers that have given info to Capeci between 2014 and now. The problem is there really aren't too many new, active cases pending any sort of resolution. That's why we were hearing about the goddamn appeals and compassionate release requests for Frank LoCascio every other week.
The Colombo case is the only one right now that I can think of off the top of my head, and Capeci's been on top of that with every turn. Lawyers for the Vincent Esposito case were keeping Capeci updated and believe it or not, despite traditional Genovese cases the last 25+ years, he was actually planning on going to trial up until the very end. They had a good defense.
If Capeci ingratiated himself with one of these new-found YouTube guys and worked out some sort of deal where their stories were told through GL - which would have to probably be done tying those stories into previous articles - that would be great. Doesn't really seem to beneficial for anyone besides Jerry himself though which is why it hasn't happened yet, probably. I'm sure he's tried.
He's still the best out there at the end of the day. Look forward to the column every week, although the 3rd article on this one was ridiculous.
