Joey Calco really does appear to be a piece of shit.
Tommy Reynolds, per some former convicts, is well liked and respected by everyone - gangs too - in prison; so is Benny.
Calandra blocked at one time; now he's more tolerant - barely - of criticism. He did not want to do the 50 years! And he refuses to accept that as the root cause of his cooperation. Like all rats, he deflects. Frank Cullotta self-effacingly labeled himself a rat; that evolved to cooperator.

He's a complete clown and bullshitter..he was a typical street kid that was running around all over Brooklyn and Staten island...was never on record with a wiseguy.

Re: jimmy calandra
i heaerd him say a book and movie are in the works hes a family man now says he turned his life around seems sincere and a likable guy doing the right thing
Re: jimmy calandra
He’s has a great Brooklyn accent and tells good stories. However, he has limited knowledge and tends to inflate him position on the streets. The mob rat drama is intense as they fight for “subs” and the limited dollars from mob fan boys. Alite and crew don’t like Jimmy Calandra muscling in on their new racket.

Re: jimmy calandra
I never believed Madonna was actually his rabbi just was reiterating what Calandra said...
Re: jimmy calandra

Reality...
Re: jimmy calandra
He was part of the Bath Ave crew, which was on record with Joe Benanti. Later he was with Matthew Madonna, although I don't know if he was officially on record with him.

Re: jimmy calandra
IIRC they were first on record with Tommy karake, then when Tommy went away, they were under Joe Benanti, Jimmy came home from jail and was released by the Bonannos (Spero, benanti) to the Luccheses (madonna)

Re: jimmy calandra
Can't remember when lcnbios has Madonna getting made interesting he liked Jimmy Acuff to ask spero to release him. I guess I believe him only because he says Madonna got him a job and would go see him a big geyser. What ever atleast he owns to cooperating and ratting to save his life just like he says it. Because he would be doing 40 50 years like the other guys. Is the guy Fabrizio out I belive he is. Someone know
