Re: Which Mafia Members lived in Strange Places?

Al Embarrato retired to Virginia, which always seemed odd to me.

Agreed, that line stuck out to me with nothing added by Capeci.

Jerry also got the local wrong - it’s 157, not 147.

Re: Joe Watts information ???

Does anyone know Joe Watts’s ethnic background? His nickname is “The German”, but Anthony Ruggiano said on a recent podcast that he is English. Watts is an English name, not German. But that could be an Anglicisation. Wikipedia says he is Italian on his mother’s side, and German and Welsh on his fa...

Re: Burnstein video reporting Gambino-Colombo beef

I didnt think Billy Scotto was related to Tony Scotto waterfront guy. I’m not sure where Scott got that from, but I’ve never heard of Billy being related to him. Scotto is an incredibly common last name.


Billy due for a new 3 year bid - guy gets popped for an extortion every 5 years or so it seems.

Re: John Pennisi Sighting / Sit Down News

Interesting video. He says Gradilone was on record with Lee Fama before he was made. Makes sense, think Lee Fama is part of Lanni crew. He implied Chierchio was shelved right? Can’t remember if I read that before. Chierchio got sentenced for that lottery case but think he’s still facing state charg...

Re: John Pennisi Sighting / Sit Down News

His mafia self estimation is a bit much at times. He knew everything. Knew every rule. Nobody understood it like him. But couldn’t figure out how to dish a beating to a guy for Crea.

Romanello was convicted today. https://nypost.com/2023/12/11/metro/reputed-mafioso-anthony-romanello-convicted-in-nyc-extort-case/ Thanks for posting the follow up. New York can rest easier tonight knowing this 86 year old is facing a 40 year term. In other news Anthony Senter is getting out. :lol:...
