He'd have to be nuts NOT to use his "greatest hits" for his current audience. He's after that sweet social media money, god bless him.

Yeah, like I sorta respect the hustle. People hate the guy, like he ratted on them. I dont think he shoulda ratted, but his show is ok, I guess. I read the book so its redundant to me....

Basciano’s nickname for Massino was Bo. When Massino was wired up with Basciano, Basciano was constantly referring to Massino as Bo. Does anyone know if that was just Vinny’s nickname for Massino? If so, I assume Bo being short for Boss. Or was this a nickname that he used for others too?

Think Cicale said he was referred to as “bo” by Basciano in his book.

He doesn't try to specifically appeal to people like us because there's no money in it.

Who needs a few dozen mafia obsessed researchers when you've got hundreds of thousands of kids watching your monetized videos?

We just don't matter. :|

Sammy's whole new tattood up hood talking personna is funny. He does seem to have forgotten he snitched and seems to think of himself as pure Cosa Nostra. Is there a reason he never talks about the drug dealing in AZ and dragging his family into it? I wouldn't mind hearing those stories either

No, only 36+ others. He was a disgrace and would have broke no matter the situation. I wouldn’t be surprised if Gravano was an informant before 1991.

I was thinking the same thing. He caved after a few days in jail and seemed to dodge alot of indictments Scarpa Style previously

His last video makes a big deal about him being called a “child killer” during his training for Vietnam despite him actually killing a child
