Going back to your old stomping grounds after ratting is one thing but having a podcast at the site of a guy you had killed? This motherfucker is just asking to be hit...please God let another Anthony Comello make it to Springfield, Mass!

An interesting part in it where he describes meeting Anthony Megale in New York. Arthur Nigro told him Megale was the Gambino acting boss. Megale warned both Arillotta and Nigro that John Bologna was an informant, but Nigro brushed it off as the Gambino family being jealous that Bologna was around the Genoveses

New Haven isn't that nice. Idk what he's talking about. I mean yeah, Wooster street, but that's been around since Moses wore short pants. Arrilota is turning that club he's at into a wannabe club. I mean he shouldn't of flipped if he had such a hard on for his past.

[CornerBoy]

Seems like he's battling Chicky

[JoeCamel]

If you read the comments Geraldo Daniele beefs it with him. Sounds like he doesn’t like Albert Calvanese too much. Then they start making up like friends

[Tonyd621]

He flipped in his early 40s. Usually people at least maybe try and be a stand up guy at that age. He probably knew he was going to roll the whole time. As you can tell I'm not a fan. He's new to the whole YouTube thing so that makes it appealing, but it's not all that interesting to tell you the truth.

I actually appreciate that Arillotta is open and honest about the fact that he doesn’t necessarily regret committing crime, he regrets the violence and getting involved with wiseguys.

Can these rats really just do whatever they want after flipping? It seems like you’re untouchable once you flip. Or does anyone think one of these families will ever actually hit a known cooperators?

In today’s organized crime the juice isn’t worth the squeeze to murder anybody let alone a government cooperator. The likelihood of getting away with it is minimal and these guys have already testified so the benefit is nil. For these reasons and more, these guys live out in the open without reprisal. The days of dropping bodies and indiscriminately killing in LCN are over. The recent loosely mob connected murders (Zottola/Pandrella) in NYC serve as an example of the high risk vs non existent reward. Murder in 2022 is a great and sure fire way to end up in prison for life.

Very good points. I agree it’s very hard to get away with killing let alone killing a rat but I think if they did hit one of them and hapoened to get away with it that it would make all these other rats think twice. But your right probably won’t ever happen.

Bone-headed, greed-driven murders (Pandrella, Zottola) should be excluded from the overall theme. Truth is - and most won't hear it - that OC in other states - Texas, Oklahoma, Calif for sure - do murder rats. And yes, the Nuestra Famigilia/Nortenos are full-on organized crime. Italians have no foot soldiers where by to recruit. If your initial criteria is nationality instead of race, you must be open to an Outfit like structure of non-Italians. Chicago went the opposite direction of Italian-only with a ceremony (this started circa 70s/80s) and they now number a dozen old men. Every snapshot in the photos section is from the 40s.

The NF example is interesting but I think it's an apples and oranges situation. Those California prison gangs at the top of the hierarchy for their race have small "made men" memberships just like LCN - but their power is predicated on the fact that anyone in that world is eventually going to have to hit county or state prison and follow their rules. LCN isn't like that as most of their cases are federal and ranging in severity to the point where guys are spread out all over the country and there isn't a consolidated power base in any one prison. If a Mexican kid from the Bay Area gets popped stealing cars or caught with some pills, he's going to have to program with the Nortenos when he hits lockup or else he's getting forced out and/or assaulted. It's not like that for Italian Americans anywhere. Because of this they have a revolving door of crash dummy kids to use on things like going out to kill a rat - on top of being able to force their own made members to do the same thing if they are in bad standing. Yeah, in LCN if a made guy balks on a hit he would be chased or killed himself - but with the NF it's different, there are factional cliques with personal beefs and they have no problem sending out one of their own members on a dummy mission like that... and if anyone ends up behind bars over it, they're going to live the same as they would on the outside in their own heads.

People gravitate (less and less, obviously) to LCN for aspirational reasons , they aren't pulled in by default with fear being the main motivator. All of those other groups operate in a much more predatory manner and as result, a lot more of their members are doing life behind bars. There's also a huge wealth gap between the haves and have nots in the NF, where in LCN you still have guys really putting shit together and others who are known to not make a ton of money - but on average, any made member of the 5 families is probably much better off than the average NF member no matter how high level they are. These NF big wigs get released and get popped again for petty crimes themselves . It's night and day the way they operate and what their goals are.

Outfit like structure of non-Italians.

"Outfit" is just a synonym for "cosa nostra". But you're the "outfit guy", so who am I telling, right?

Chicago went the opposite direction of Italian-only with a ceremony (this started circa 70s/80s)

Source? You might want to actually read the Chicago threads here. As a starting point, Chicago is an LCN Family and like all others, has members and non-member associates (this distinction may be useful moving forward).

Every snapshot in the photos section is from the 40s.

You've now repeatedly made this point, it seems to be a source of personal frustration for you. If you ever do read the Chicago threads, you'd see that we have had detailed discussions regarding sources who allege who some of the current suspected made guys are. Why wait for someone else to post photos of them? These guys aren't hiding under rocks, you can easily find images of them if you're so insistent to know what they look like.

Also, stay tuned, as I'll soon be posting more photos of Chicago mafiosi from the 1920s. Enjoy.

Agreed. And I actually find his explanation of his crew and modus operandi...... strangely similar to Montreal...
