Yeah that sounds like bullshit to me. Salute to him if true, but when would have that been? When she was in her prime in the early 90s and he was on trial for selling heroin? Or in the 2000s when she was living in Beverly Hills with her family, after Vinny had put on 50 lbs and was gunning down low level hoods in the BX ? Seems like the Anthony Mirra & Goldie Hawn thing

Bullshit. John spreading the rumor Pennisi was bad was wrong. At the time he was not bad.

George was clipped for a multitude of reasons, the TG accusation was one of many.
If you call somebody rat and then they later become a rat, where they wrong? Pennisi walked into the fbi office just because some gut you hate calls you rat does not excuse you to become one. Like Pennisi always says where's the paperwork? What's he worried about?

i just saw this post and actually saw a civic with two supreme bumper stickers on it yesterday by me in bay ridge. i am dying laughing over here

I still can't believe Donnie Shacks was banging Elizabeth Hurley in her prime. Hell she's still hot now.

Pennisi has a new video where he says there is an unwritten mob rule that if your father was murdered by the mob you can never become a boss, which I’ve never heard of. Can we come up with a few guys to disprove this?

Joe Colombo? Would he count?

Someone brought up Joe Colombo in the comments, and he replied "There's always an exception to the rule." What was the circumstance around Colombo's father's death?

He was sleeping with another guy's wife. It was said that his killers cut off his Johnson and left it in his mouth as a message. :oops:

Do we know who Colombo Sr was banging? Joey Cantalupo tells the story of him getting his junk cut off and put in his mouth in that Crime Inc doc but he never said who the wiseguy getting revenge was. Was this ever made public?

Colombo inherited his associ ation in the family he ulti mately took over from his father, Anthony Colombo, who was garroted in 1938 and found dead in his car next to the body of a woman friend, Christine Oliveri, who had also been strangled. The crime was never solved.

https://www.nytimes.com/1971/05/03/arch ... a-new.html



Here's an entire article exploring the murder:

https://www.heyridge.com/2017/10/true-c ... hore-road/

Oliveri lived at 1745 74th Street, in Bensonhurst, with her husband, Alfred, and their sons, Frank and Joseph. Alfred, once an embroiderer, had recently been on welfare, since health problems prevented him from working. He told police he didn’t know Nino, but his wife “had mentioned a flirtatious man named Tony, whose face she had threatened to slap,” the Times reported.

“It was generally agreed that Nino had gone one step too far in having an affair with Christina, who was the wife of a ‘made man’ in the Profaci family,” according to Mafia Genius. “She, of course, also paid the ultimate price for her sexual duplicity.” This strikes me as false, however (and kinda sexist). More likely is the theory eventually put forward by police, more than a year later: Columbo was a loanshark, the “most stubborn rival” in that racket of Cassendro “Anthony” “The Chief” Bonasera, “strong-arm ruler of Brooklyn’s shylock racket since the death of Frankie Yale,” aka Frank Uale, the Eagle reported. Oliveri had just been with the wrong man at the wrong time. (As the Eagle had put it the day after the bodies were discovered, “Columbo was apparently murdered by business enemies and the woman killed to silence her.”)

Good example but was Zappola's father made? I don't recall. The unwritten rule seems shaky to begin with, but maybe in Zappola's case, his father being made or not could have been the X factor.

Interesting topic and rule from Pennisi. He mentioned Froggy Galione as an example. This one didn't make sense to me because his father was killed by a different family and I believe everyone who was involved with his fathers hit is dead. The whole admin who ordered that hit have been in the ground for almost 40 years now. I don't know who the shooters were (Gotti crew? Ruggiano guys?) but few if any are still around today

Plus if Galione were to theoretically become boss, how could he ever call as his 'first order of business', revenge against Gambino guys? Boss or not, that would be something he'd have to do sneakily on his own.

The Bruno and Guzzo examples made much more sense. Same families, and the perpetrators and/or people loyal to them are around still. Guzzo even getting made into the Colombos semi recently (Pennisi mentioned this on an older vid) is really crazy on its own. The guy he tried to gun down is still active and rose into a position of power since the shooting. Maybe approving Guzzo membership would insure him from attempting to kill any made guys ever again. Kind of like a reverse if you can't beat 'em, join em type of thing

I remember Sammy Gravano telling that story about Georgie Rush...Mario Gigante had a meeting with Zappola to hear his reasoning for plotting to hit Gravano then passed the message back to Chin the reason was ridiculous...the rest is history
