Who TF is Frank Palmeri?

Post by Targenmantarian »

"Bugs Bulls and Rats" is a really good mob vignette book that was plausibly written under a pseudonym by a real insider who says he's an active non rat soldier in one of the five families.

Speculation has pointed to him being a Colombo, Luchese, or Gambino.

He said he did a long stretch from the early 00's to the teens.

Any read this book and have any good guesses as to who he is if he is in fact real.

How active could the guy be if he's writing a fuckin book? Unless he wrote it while he was locked down I guess.

I asked the same question in the Book Sub-Forum. Ed Scarpo wrote an article stating he thinks he knows he the guy is and that he’s not with the Gambinos or Bonannos. From the insight the guy provided, my opinion is that he’s with the Westside. Who knows?

The same verbatim response to my original post in the Book Sub-Forum. Anything else to add?

Yes, I've had a think since my initial comment and I now think it was really terrible

He knew the most about the Colombos. That's who I thought he was with.

I could see that. With the collective wealth of the boards Researchers (Pogo, Wiseguy, B., Antiliar, etc.) I’m sure someone could figure it out. Definitely an interesting read.

If anyone can actually nail this or at least narrow it down that would be awesome.
