How do informants get jobs so easily?

Post by Lutty12 »

Anyone else wonder how all these informants get jobs/roles so easily after release. For example, both John alite and Michael Franzese have featured in a major Netflix documentary but neither were even involved or had a clue about the concrete club investigation. John Pennisi is another one who has mentioned he was a manager at a construction job even after he was convicted for manslaughter. I have always thought you needed a degree or some kind of apprenticeship experience to acquire such roles?

Remember the end of Goodfellas where like Henry Hill was holed up out in some boring suburb in the middle of Nebraska or whatever, under a completely new identity?

Now these guys don't even leave Brooklyn, and they set up a podcast studio just a few floors up from the same social club they used to run a sports book out of.
Glick told author Nicholas Pileggi that he expected to meet a banker-type individual, but instead, he found Alvin Baron to be a gruff, tough-talking cigar-chomping Teamster who greeted him with, “What the fuck do you want?”

Pennisi was/is a Construction Site Safety Manager. You don’t need a degree just relevant work experience and certification through various DOB approved courses. This job put Pennisi right in the construction mix and lead to what he says was a major source of income for him ironing out beefs between various construction companies.

Safety site ( especially highway ) business is all run by convicts and worked by convicts in NJ . They can make over $80 an hour ( 1099 employee ) just sitting there. It’s actually too boring that some can’t make it , especially the night shift in winter. They all use their non white wives as the owner to get all the contracts and these are big . I have no mob knowledge but I’m well over 50% sure the mob is all up in here as everyone has a record. I found the whole thing fascinating but all my boys that got crushed by Covid are doing it, sometime they could double dip with unemployment
