The feds 'entrapped' him but to get them to drop some charges didn't he testify in front of a grand jury about Louie DeNaples?

If so that what made him a rat not to mention doing a book.
I totally agree he is a rat. Im just saying how the feds baited him into doing criminal things that he was not doing before they got involved is a thing that everyone should not be comfortable with.
The Federal Bureau of Coverup (sole purpose since inception, cover up anything the would embarrass the State) creates criminals so they can arrest them, from the post-9/11 delinquents that they talked into accepting bombs to the perpetrators for some of our recent mass shootings that were all former FBI sources.

I've purchased, read and opined here on many mob books with a purchase or don't purchase option. I'm going to wait for a full review from someone on this site, as I already have too much to read.

Big Billy was meeting a lot with Ligambi in the 2000s , I wonder if he talks about his relationship with Uncle Joe at all in the book.

As far as the NY Post article, the last thing I want to know about is the making of Godfather movie and Hollywood stories. I want to hear about the mafia. Like someone said, I'll wait until some of you guys post up a review of it before I buy it. Hopefully he's not another Ralph Natale.

One review i read says D'Elia hinted at Bufalino being the one responsible for Joey Gallo's death. I unfortunately already pre-ordered the book, i'll let you guys know how it is. https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-revi ... ose-mafia/

I totally agree the Feds are scumbags and most are willing to bend the rules if not outright break them to take down a 'Boss'. They had to manufacture a crime! It was all for the headlines.

In the warrant the CI had to say words like "drug deal" "drug money" "cocaine" or some sh*t like that.

What do you mean did he breach omerta? Of course he did. He testified against DeNaples, a civilian. Isn't that almost worse? People might be sympathetic if your life is at risk or you have to life in the can, but this is the worst kind of weasel move, no?

There’s no grey area to being a rat , just like you can’t only be a little bit pregnant. He’s a rat

Totally agree. Whether you dip your toe in or jump in the pool head first, you got wet.
