Hilarious that he thought a crime family would straighten out a 25 year old loose cannon dumb fuck.Dave65827 wrote:Just finished the book and it’s a massive disappointment
He straight up plays up Pasquale and Hootie which where nobodies compared to the guys he delt with. His whole gripe was Ronni G not proposing him for membership and when he got arrested for shit he was hiding from Ronnie G

It's not just the ADHD. The open mouth, dumb-founded look is indicative of an IQ issue.

Yea thats a bs case the kid probably got scared and panicked. Cognata got what was coming.Tonyd621 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 27, 2021 4:19 pmAmattucio-the kid who shot Cognata got charged with murder which idk how that is not self defense if someone comes into your home with a gun demanding money for a drug deal.

From the group of the Bonanno's that flipped during 2003/2004, Frank Lino is the best one to write a book (barring Massino of course). He seemed to do it all, big stock fraud cases, murders, you name it. Wouldn't mind Frank Coppa either. He had like a 2nd degree connection to Jordan Belfort, but did he ever meet the guy?

Why the hell is Hootie posting shirtless pictures of Borello on his IG?

I would welcome a book from any of those Bonanno (Massino would be #1, Vitale, Coppa, etc) or Colombo (Calabro, Big Anthony Russo,Sparaco,Joe Campy, Joey Caves, etc) guys

I saw that! He said he is on the cover of some magazine but its just a picture of Gene shirtless licking his lips!
If nobody sees it, it didn't happen.

You know someone has approached Massino. Either Joey wanted an unreasonable deal or I think it's moreDapper_Don wrote: ↑Wed Nov 03, 2021 4:42 am I would welcome a book from any of those Bonanno (Massino would be #1, Vitale, Coppa, etc) or Colombo (Calabro, Big Anthony Russo,Sparaco,Joe Campy, Joey Caves, etc) guys

I'd love some back story on Coppa. Seems like a combo of a thug / street guy and a white collar guy. Him and Belfort... they ever had any dealings or real connection to one another, but Coppa was involved with a ton of stock chop shops . Belfort was out on Long Island , Coppa had his hooks into a variety of different places in the city, mostly because he had his hooks into a few people who bounced between brokerages, started their own, etc. - it sounded like he was involved with a lot more than shaking down promoters and brokers for money too, he was helping pick which stocks to pump, trying to take companies public that he and his family basically controlled , etc. He seemed like a real major money makernizarsoccer wrote: ↑Sat Oct 30, 2021 6:41 pmFrom the group of the Bonanno's that flipped during 2003/2004, Frank Lino is the best one to write a book (barring Massino of course).

I was driving in Queens recently and figured out that survellience pic of Massino and Coppa where they're coming out of a building with what looks like marble on the outside... it's the City Diner in Maspeth on Grand Ave. Could only imagine the meals those two had at that place... they probably singlehandedly put the owners kids through college
