I might be remembering it wrong as I read this a few years ago. Does anyone know what's the truth on this? Was Alite in Brazil the whole time he was on the lam? Are there any specific claims made in Anastasia's Alite book that have been proven to be lies?
Any respected posters on here actually read that Science Fiction novel written by George A and can comment?

Again , I haven’t read it and never will but I heard rediculous things about it like in one Chapter Alite is talking about having shoot outs with rival factions sneaking up to his house with machine guns and bazookas in Cherry Hill hahahahaha

You said respected so I may not qualify. I bought & read it when it came out basically because of George and his older books being so good. At the time I thought the book overall was solid. No Blood & Honor but solid. The overall theme kinda picked at Junior which was warranted after the 302 stuff came out. Now after semi-following Alite I def think his credibility has taken a hit. He’s like the Chuck Norris joke of the mob. I mean, the guy baseball batted more guys than Tony Gwen base hits…

So the book has aged poorly with what we know about Alite now but i don’t even remember any Alite stories. I just remember it more for being critical of mainly Junior but all the Gottis.

My hope is that George and Dave need to step their game up now. For years they have pushed theories and innuendo on who is involved in murders, without mentioning them specifically. If Joey takes their market share, they may have to become a little more provocative in the information they release.

It's hard not to laugh at Anastasia a little bit when he makes a new video wearing those suits and walking with a wiseguy's swagger talking thinly veiled frustration about Merlino having a podcast. George can't figure out how to still get paid for what he does, his brand is obsolete, and I think Joey makes more money soon on his thing online than George ever will again.

Hmmm, I don't know George, but probably not before the first 75 times you said "Make money, not headlines" while rehashing the same few murders for 20 years.
Theyre still doing unsolved murders from 100 years ago :lol:

I bring this up because a) I don't believe someone had ever given this piece of information before, and b) In an, I believe My City Paper article shortly after Casasanto's death, which unfortunately I think was deleted, the PPD mentioned they had their sights set on a suspect known as "Twitch" who frequented the 9th & Moore Mini Market in South Philadelphia, which is a mile away from Casasanto's Durfor Street home. It just stuck out to me.
I think it has been reported before, they had various security and surveillance videos but the quality is likely terrible and the guys probably had hoodies or something of the sort on. If it was anything of substance someone would be indicted by now. smooth hit tbh. Philly had a few nicely planned hits, until the Dipietro murder, that one was horrible and almost had to be spur of the moment.

As always, great and insightful analysis Chin, which I hadn't even considered given my limited research.

I've thought about this individual nicknamed Twitch a little bit. In his testimony in the Ligambi trial, Lou Monacello said he knew Michael Salvo was sometimes referred to by the nickname Twitchy. However, I believe in the article you mentioned it notes that 'Twitch' was a nickname given to a suspect by investigators, which means it may not be a street nickname. The most obvious potential suspect that stands out in my mind is Michael Virgilio. It's plausible at least to me that investigators may have nicknamed him Twitch after his performance in court during the Merlino and co RICO trial when he showed up without taking his medication for Tourettes and visibly shook. It's also conceivable that Virgilio could have been used for work since Natale identified him as the shooter in the Anthony Turra murder and said he was proposed for membership.

I saw one of their videos a few years ago and Anastasia actually said "with Bruno murder was a negotiating tool of last resort....with Scarfo it was a calling card" so he shouldn't be throwing stones about stuff getting old lol. He deserves credit for the work he's done in this field but he appears to be obsolete now.

I respect George a lot for his early work. Obviously I wouldn't be this interested in Philly mob stuff with out him. But he seems a little jealous of new reporters and their sources even if its governments documents. He is still on podcast as recent as a month ago talking about Scarfo being banished to AC. Its like come now George you were wrong, its been proven, stop telling people stuff that isn't true because you want it to be.

George seems like he was trying to hide how butt hurt he is that Joey has a podcast but it didn’t work. Sounds like they think this podcast could potentially cause a lot of problems for Joey.

Get a life bro, you act like you are a gangster. You are just a lil guy who wishes you were in the life
It sounds like you are one of the 3 losers who purchased an Aliar I mean Alite signed baseball bat, I feel extremely sorry for you.

I bet you use it to try and impress the fat pigs that you are condemned to fucking in your hometown of Casper, Ohio at the local Elks bar.

Save up all your money over the winter and take a vacation to the Jersey Shore this summer where I live, I will tell you via PM exactly where to find me, I’m not hard to find at the Jersey Shore.

I am not going to participate in this pathetic keyboard tough guy over the computer shit any further with you , I appreciate your anticipated cooperation.

I am sorry that your life sucks but don’t take it out on me.

-Dante
Again, why so angry. I bet you live in a double wide with your sister

Mentioned that scumbag lying rat Alite not just once but twice in that segment , absolutely nothing that Alite says is fact it’s all made up lies and he played George A like a fool into writing a shitty science fiction novel with that Science Fiction Gotti’s Rules book.

Alite is a well known fraud and proven liar, he has even lied in the past about his own ethnicity and last name lol. What a jerk off, he needs to never be mentioned ever again and only the retarded should actually watch his YouTube bulllshit tall tales.

George A lost a lot of credibility as a Journalist after getting played by writing that piece of garbage nobody read of completely made up tall tales.

If I was George A I would never mention that lying scumbag rat ever again and pretend like it never happened, he must be getting dementia or something.

-Dante

Yea a bit disappointing. But as someone mentioned they’re tethered at this point. I met George at Villa DiRoma last summer, really nice guy. Definitely not a good look referencing anything Alite says.
