[Pogo The Clown]

The pot trafficking indictment? The fact that he w as working with the Lukes would that be any indication of his status as a possible made man or not in the Bonanno s ?

Ham in both of his brothers were doing that weird thing with Larca jr from the Westside That they all got popped for and there was a bunch of other people involved. So it doesn’t mean much a lot Of them were associates

He is in prison right now right ? Ya some guy on here said him going to prison ruined the family financially.... if that’s true it’s gorgeous own damn fault. Should of been smart enough to put shit in his wife’s name

Yea vinny senior is doing life in Colorado super max he’s never getting out.

I’m sorry I meant Vinny Jr?

Ooo ok yea vinny jr is free and doing his thing in the Bronx. I say he’s made no way in hell he isn’t. That whole thing with him getting into it with Quiet doms son and then a week later the kid gets whacked. I’d say he’s made and that he must be some what respected

In the future do you see Stephen or the third brother getting made as well? Ya I think he probably is too. It is interesting tho that he has not been officially identified as made by LE yet tho...

I doubt Vinny Jr had anything to do with Quiet Dom’s kid’s murder. I remember Basciano Sr telling Joe Massino that the westside whacked Dom’s son.

I could see Stephan possibly getting made but he seems more of a hot head knee breaker but I’m sure if vinny jr really is made then I’m sure he will push for Stephan to get made as well.

I agree but you never know he I have played a part in it. Even if he did get wax because of the argument with Jr I doubt Vinny senior Would have admitted it to massino because that would have meant that they whacked him with out The big rat massinos approval

[Mason_dixon]

Ya I totally agree Goregous wouldn’t of take. Credit for it even if it was his guys. I heard Dom did not care much for his son.... don’t know how true that is.

Good point. Who did Dom Cicale implicate in the murder?

[NYNighthawk]

I actually saw Basciano and DeFillipo and another at the Precinct stationhouse - (NYPD 47th Pct) after they were caught shooting Nunez on Gun Hill Road and White Plains Road at 9:00 am in front of a crowd of morning commuters.. They were busted in construction type of clothing. Three (3) hours later, Basciano's wife comes into the Precinct with three (3) garment bags of suits that all three wore for the lineup. Guess what - no one could pick them out. Basciano went on trial in Bronx Supreme Court for this shooting and actually beat the attempted murder rap but was convicted on the gun rap. He and the wife eventually divorced, I believe, so they could not go after her share of the assets in the forfeiture proceedings.

Did Difillipo beat the attemped murder charges too?

Patty also beat the attempted murder rap with Vinny Basciano in Bronx Supreme Court

[bert]

I can't remember if Massino testified in Bascaino's trial. I know he recored him in their cell. Anyone know how bad Massino hurt him aside from trying to get him to say something incriminating on tape?

[falco]

interesting reads

Dominick Cicale (“Cicale”) testified that he, along with Basciano, Anthony Indelicato (“Indelicato”), Anthony Donato (“Donato”), and John Tancredi (“Tancredi”) committed the murder. (Tr. at 5485-86.)

At the time of the murder, Cicale, Donato and Tancredi were associates of the Bonanno crime family, and Basciano and Indelicato were Bonanno crime family soldiers. (Tr. at 5486-87.)

https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/USC ... 929-25.pdf

For example, regarding the Santoro murder, Vitale testified that he learned from Bonanno family boss Joseph Massino that Basciano, Indelicato and a former corrections officer shotgunned a man who threatened to kidnap Basciano’s son while that man was walking his dog in the Bronx and left his body in the street – details which match the murder of Frank Santoro.

A May 6, 2005 FBI report of an interview with Frank Vasaturo (“Vasaturo”) stating that in 2004, Vasaturo, Pizzolo, Cicale, and Vincent Basciano Jr. sat at the same table at a wedding reception, at which Vasaturo and Pizzolo discussed the disappearance of Dominick Cirillo’s son, Nicky Cirillo. (Def. Appendix on Appeal (“A— ”) 249-53) According to the report, Pizzolo stated that Nicky Cirillo would never be found. When Vasaturo asked Pizzolo how he knew, “Pizzolo smiled[,] pointed to himself and gestured with his chin at Cicale, who was sitting across from them.” (A-252.)

A Government letter, dated June 12, 2009, that included the following information: (i) According to Darren D’Amico, around 2002, Pizzolo shot D’Amico in the stomach, and Joseph Cammarano Sr. told D’Amico that “‘Uncle John’ (believed to be John Palazzolo) and ‘Frankie’ (believed to be Frank Borgongone) had it ‘all set up’ to ‘go clip’ Pizzolo, but that D’Amico believed this was untrue” and that D’Amico thought he was being set up to be murdered. (A-235.) D’Amico also stated that he was not involved in Pizzolo’s murder. (ii) According to an inmate at the Franklin Correctional Facility, in Malone, New York, Joseph Bonelli and Robert Benedetto had been “overheard discussing, among other things, that the reason that ‘Ace’ and ‘Chicale’ killed Randy is because Randy is the person that murdered ‘Quiet Dom’s’ son. The inmate also stated that at an unspecified previous time Anthony Federici had given ‘Hippy’ Zanfardino permission to kill Randy Pizzolo and Chris Castellano.” (iii) Richard Bette told cooperating witness Richard Cantarella that “while Berte was housed with Vincent Basciano at the . . . MCC, Basciano stated that “he wanted to beat [AUSA] Andres’s head in with a baseball bat” and, while housed with Joseph Massino at the MCC, Massino indicated that it was his “original idea to kill Andres.” (E A—23S.)
