There was that rumour last year about Persico. Also, something about arilottas story sounds similar. It seemed multiple families knew that John Bologna was a rat yet genovese leaders kept him around. Possibly the same reason- they wanted to have someone strategically providing info that was beneficial to them.

Thanks for an interesting comment that I agree with. so would Crazy Joe Gallo have known about his brother Larry being an informant?

Being an informant is now a career of its own. The Feds let these guys run non-violent rackets in exchange for real-time info on organized crime activities. Its a side job for a lot of mobsters. I think the number of informants is a lot more than we know or suspect.

Would New York's underworld have changed much if Carmine Persico had been an informant? As mentioned in this article https://www.cosanostranews.com/2021/08/ ... cords.html also did the Gallos know Greg Scarpa?

half these guys give up info in some shape or form. I'm excluding the West Side and Sicilian branch of Gambino.

I just watched CRAZY JOE on Tubi where RIP TORN Joey.

Anyways - Larry’s character actually talks to the cops then drives off a cliff ….. interesting they got one of the scenarios right…

Real good movie 70% accurate besides that

This is really interesting and would Crazy Joe Gallo have known that his older brother was an informant?
I have files from the early 1970s where an informant extremely close to Joey Gallo was providing info. He was able to quote Gallo verbatim on a bunch of topics and though there is no smoking gun like with Larry I've suspected it was Joey Gallo himself. The informant said that Gallo had completely renounced his membership in the mafia and did not consider himself a member. We know that Gallo had also been very open with Jimmy Breslin the previous decade where he complained about Profaci and explained why the war started.

There might be earlier results, but others have already noted that Gallo was mentioned in a couple books going back to 2008. FYI, when I searched I put "Larry Gallo" in quotes then used the search within results function.
Oh wow I didn't even know that quotation marks work as a Boolean operator in the search here. Thanks, that might end up being a game changer when searching for stuff on here.

Yes, the book The Mob and The City talks about it.
That's quite a memory as I don't recall that reference in Mob and the City.
