Re: Johnny sideburns could be in trouble
Luciano must be looking up with great pride with a former and current member feuding over the internet like little girls
Also Sideburns acts exactly how I think a mafiosi would be. Penisi probably saw The Godfather too much lmao
Also holy shit Penninsi straight up that Sideburns straight up stole from a 300 mill project and didn’t kick back

Re: Johnny sideburns could be in trouble
You just know he's made 90% of that up, what a fucking loser.
Re: Johnny sideburns could be in trouble
That was some hilarious reading. Pennisi isn't exactly the first former mob guy to say they spend much of their time gossiping and bad mouthing each other. Interesting there's no Genovese guys on the list.
All roads lead to New York.
Re: Johnny sideburns could be in trouble
Posting in case Pennisi's blog ever goes away. These are too hilarious to lose. 
John “Johnny” Baudanza, Lucchese family soldier and former caporegime.
Sideburns: “They knocked him down from the captain position and gave me the crew. He was only there because of his father-in-law (Danny). He never wanted to come in, always made excuses. All he was worried about was fixing that big house and running around Staten Island dressed like a fucking New York Yankee.”
Joseph “Joe Cafe” DeSena, Lucchese family Caporegime
Sideburns: “He had his nose so far up Matty’s ass…taking him on a trip to Italy. He really believed he would get a position when Matty went away. Now he’s kissing Mikey’s (Desantis) ass the same way.”
Mathew “Matty” Madonna, former Lucchese acting boss
Sideburns: “He’s a loudmouth who got close to Vic in the can. Comes home, they make him a captain with no men. Joe C sends me to collect $5,000 from him for Christmas. He moaned and groaned how he didn’t have it but said he would go borrow the money. I know that is why he has a hard-on for me now that he is in a position.”
Michael “Mikey D” DeSantis, current acting Lucchese family boss
During a scheduled meeting between Sideburns and DeSantis. Mikey had been on [paper] parole at this time.
Sideburns: “He showed up to meet me in some park on a fucking bicycle like one of those yuppies.”
As a friend Mikey was put in Carmine Avellino’s crew in Long Island. Consequently, they both could not see eye to eye.
Sideburns: ” Did you know he (Mikey) sent a letter of resignation because he couldn’t deal with Carmine. A fucking embarrassment, this is not a Fortune 500 company that you can resign from.”
Aniello “Neil Migliore, former ruling member of the Lucchese family
Sideburns: “I like to go see him at his house. If we had his money we’d throw ours away. I go shoot the shit with him, we bad mouth everybody. God forbid, they have the place bugged – they’d clip us!”
Vittorio “Little Vic” Amuso, present boss of the Lucchese family
Sideburns: “Every Christmas we’d drop off $150,000-200,000 to Vic’s wife, Barbara she’d run right down to AC and blow it all…I mean, give it a rest already. The guy does not step down because of the money his family gets every Christmas… we really need to pay to have new fucking doors put on his house?”
Joseph “Little Joey” Dibenedetto, Lucchese family soldier
Sideburns: “He got into a beef in Brooklyn, the wife called the cops. Then he goes and puts a lawsuit in. Louie Daidone (former acting boss) was fit to be tied, laced into him, told him to take that fucking lawsuit out… that money he gets from Joey Fama ( low-level associate) better start making its way up to those guys in the Bronx (Administration) they’re pissed at him up there. Wants to keep all the money for himself, he better hope Vic lives forever.” Referring to the continuous shakedown of DiFama Construction. “…all he knows how to do is drink, gamble, and spend that Fama’s money…”
In a similar fashion, Sideburns needed help getting a concrete company ( Advanced) to service the Belt Parkway Replacement project. A shop steward for Local 731 approached me and Advanced was on the job. Sideburns made big money from every yard poured. I went to him about my helping Advanced get the contract and his lack of sharing.
Sideburns: That fucking guy (731 steward) is a liar. I got Advanced on that project, what little money I make is mine. Maybe I can get you a few dollars but I don’t need to share it with the Borgata.” Nevertheless, he lied by taking credit for Advanced getting the work. Assuming that were true, he would need to split the kickback with me. All things considered, he indisputably needed to kick a portion of those proceeds up to the administration which he did not. For example, a yard of concrete depending on the mix can cost $125 and up. Sideburns can make $2-5 a yard. Phase 3 of the project cost between $270-328 million, if concrete equated to one-third of that cost – do the math.
John “Butch” Arpino, newly inducted Lucchese family member
Sideburns: ” It is truly unbelievable, a guy like that got no business getting that thing [button]. What’s it come to? They now gotta hand them a fucking handbook after they straighten them out!”
George “Georgie Neck” Zappola, position in Lucchese Administration when off [paper] parole
Sideburns: “This guy wants to clip (kill) this, clip that, these guys come home and think it’s the fucking 80’s. These were Gas’s (Casso) guys so what does that tell you.” Sideburns secretly met with me after my walking away, meeting me in the city one afternoon he told me, “Do not answer my number if you see it, that means I am being asked to call you. I will call you on a burner phone.” I trusted him up to that point, however; thereafter he demonstrated a double-cross causing me to no longer meet or communicate with him.
John “Big John” Castellucci, Lucchese family Caporegime
Sideburns: ” He’s not meant for the position, he only gets straightened out because he saved Joe D’s (DiNapoli) life in the can. The guy was having a heart attack and he urged him to go to the infirmary. They should’ve made him a fucking nurse’s aide…”
Eugene “Boopsie” Castelle, Lucchese family soldier
Sideburns: ” He thinks I don’t know him and that crew stole millions from this Borgata years ago… I know he is a phony, let him go smoke his pot and go fuck himself…Spanky (Anthony Castelle ) is the better brother out of the three of them but none of them deserve to be in [this life] they were corner store drug dealers…”
Patrick “Patty” DelloRusso, Lucchese family acting underboss
Sideburns: ” He was a Louie (Daidone) ass-kisser, but he’s not a pimple on Louie’s ass… now like Cafe (DeSena) he is kissing Mikey’s ass.” This author coined Sideburn’s words in an Instagram Post
Anthony “Fat Tony” Rabito, Bonanno family Caporegime and former acting consigliere
Rabino and Sideburns had a forty-year-plus friendship and the reclaiming of an associate put a wedge between them. The associate in question, Glen “The wheel” Guadagno originally [with] Sideburns but taken by Rabino, and when he (Sideburns) went to reclaim him Rabino called the guy a rat. A dangerous word used by wiseguys too nonchalantly. Sideburns accordingly asked for paperwork on Glen. Insulting Rabino by his questioning him as Sideburns replayed the events. He was insulted that his (Rabino’s) word was not good enough. Nevertheless, they stopped speaking to one another as a result.
Sideburns: ” I know the guy forty-something years, but fuck him. He is just mad that I took Glen back. Listen, he no longer has a position so fuck him.”
Ronald “Ronnie G” Giallanzo, Bonanno family acting Caporegime
After I formally introduced Sideburns to Ronnie they had words discussing an on-going Bonanno/Lucchese [sitdown].
Sideburns: “That asshole called me a fucking liar. That is it, he can no longer speak with me. He’s just like his big mouth Uncle (Vinny Assaro).
*A wiseguy cannot call another wiseguy a liar.
Vincent “Vinny” Assaro, Bonanno family Caporegime and former panel member
Sideburns: ” That big mouth met me one day off the Belt Parkway at Erskine, you know by the shopping center? He started to scream and all the fucking people were looking at us. I walked away and left him there.”
Blaise Corozzo, Gambino family member
Sideburns: ” He is a wash-woman and thinks this neighborhood (Howard Beach) is his. The truth is we are here now, and too bad if he doesn’t like it. Don’t ever repeat anything to him because he runs around telling the whole fucking world your business.”
Salvatore “Sally Bread” Cambria, Colombo Caporegime and former acting street boss
Sideburns: ” We go back a long time. He is just a nice guy, not a toughguy. Just a nice guy. I mean the guy pushes bread.”
Joseph “Joey” Amato, Colombo Caporegime
Sideburns: “Nice guy, not too smart. He has all these guys around him running around this Island (Staten Island) like wild fucking Indians and he’s going to get [pinched] arrested.”
*A premonition which was correct as Joey Amato and crew were indicted back in 2019
Vincent “Vinny Linens, aka “Faccia brutta” Scura, newly inducted Colombo family member
Sideburns: ” I ran into him (Scura) and that disgrace of a girlfriend at Il Sogno the other night. He made believe he didn’t see me, this guy has been an associate since the Pilgrims discovered America. Now he gets straightened out and thinks he don’t have to say hello? Nice looking guy ha-ha!”
Hypocritically, Sideburns had Glen and his brother Ritchie as his associates. On a weekly basis, he (Sideburns) would tell me that Ritchie is no good and the following week it would be Glen is a rat. The accusations reached a level beyond my understanding so I questioned him one day.
Myself: “John, make up your mind. This week Ritchie is a rat, last week it was Glen. Meanwhile, you tell me you just had lunch with Ritchie? You are confusing me because when you tell me a guy is no good – I put that in my head. “
Sideburns: ” Ha-ha, no Glen is ok. Ritchie is no fucking good.”
In fact, Ritchie Guadagno went to prison for Sideburns dispelling the uncalled-for label to be given to him. I had a personal incident with Ritchie and had he been no good the FBI would have been at my door.
In conclusion, Johnny Sideburns did not have much to say about the [west side] Genovese family. He was a former associate with that family before becoming inducted by the Lucchese family.
I included just a few of his comments as there were many people we discussed. Enumerating the comments demonstrates a typical wiseguy mentality and the lack of loyalty amongst their peers. Many of his personal opinions happen to be true. Unfortunately, they acknowledge just what [the life] is about. I always remembered this quote when Sideburns came to mind:
"He who talks about others to you will talk about you to others."

Re: Johnny sideburns could be in trouble
Interesting he has Zappola on the admin when he's off paper. IIRC he said on the podcast where he reviewed the charts that they had a position waiting for him.
Re: Johnny sideburns could be in trouble
He ain’t wrong about Asaro lmao. He called the guy who got him off the shelf a “cocksucker” and says he hopes his son gets fucked in the ass

Re: Johnny sideburns could be in trouble
He was at the meeting with Crea, DeSantis, Dellorusso & Papagni when the power switched from the Bronx to Brooklyn. Crea representing the outgoing Bronx based admin and these guys the incoming Brooklyn based admin. DeSantis walks out the Acting Boss, Dellorusso a captain with eventual bump to underboss. Zappola is promised an admin position when he's off parole and we can surmise that Papagni was promised something also most likely a captains spot. If Mikey and Patty get wrapped up in a case Georgie might have his day in the sun.
Re: Johnny sideburns could be in trouble
Yeah he would be a candidate to step up for sure. Brooklyn guy, capable and done a lot of years.
Re: Johnny sideburns could be in trouble
This must be so embarrassing for the Luchesse. Great info tho lol
However I will say I do think JP legit feared for his life with BKs borderline serial killers now in charge and suspecting he’s a rat. He very easily felt he could be made an example of to set policy for the new admin.
JP should speak more about the Construction rackets as it seems there is still a lot going on there

Re: Johnny sideburns could be in trouble
What he said about DeSantis rolling up on a bicycle is fuckin hilarious. Likewise for Amuso and his wife.
I get what Pennisi is saying about loyalty with these comments , but conversely, actions speak louder than words and what they are doing for Amuso really does show that there IS actual loyalty in the mob.
Seriously. A good number of important guys must be really really loyal to him. It's not a "lightning rod" situation; Amuso's not going to ever get indicted again, and more than one full set of acting administrations has gotten locked up since Amuso... so it's not a case of keeping him in position to keep heat off. These guys are truly loyal to him. Which in my opinion is crazy. Outside of his son in law, they (the Brooklyn loyalists) theoretically could tell the Amuso family to kick rocks, pocket the annual quarter million and god knows what else, and face zero repercussions from anybody.
If anything that sort of loyalty and respect for the title must at least "look good" in the eyes of the other families and the commission, if one even exists. Besides that and a personal friendship between a few of the Brooklyn guys, I can't see any real reason for it. Pretty old school idealist type of LCN , all things considered

'He better hope Vic lives forever.' I guess the same goes for Vic's wife, too.

Re: Johnny sideburns could be in trouble
Vics wife died in 2012 so who does the money at Xmas time go to now? You would think his kids are secure with their own finances.
