Larry Gallo was a stool pigeon

New video from OC Shortz furnishing FBI docs showing conclusively that Larry Gallo was an FBI informant.


Was this known??

I saw that. I haven’t previously seen him identified as such.

Yes, the book The Mob and The City talks about it.

It's been talked about on here before but can't find it using the search function because it deems Gallo too frequent of a word to get results

Yeah I think it conks out if a search produces more than 1000 results. You have to narrow it down by pairing the common term with something more specific, like here: search.php?keywords=Larry+Gallo+rat

Add Larry Gallo to the list of informants who explained The Commission to the FBI before Valachi.

I'm pretty sure David Critchley first referenced Gallo's cooperation in his book or on Real Deal years ago.

Thanks Ed. Its amazing to yours. I thought the first ever rat in LCN was Valachi. That HE furnished the FBI with the first info of the structure, familes, commission. That they new years before changes the whole picture.

I did a quick search and found a list of informants made by maxiestern in 2018 that included Larry Gallo:

There might be earlier results, but others have already noted that Gallo was mentioned in a couple books going back to 2008. FYI, when I searched I put "Larry Gallo" in quotes then used the search within results function.

I thought Valachi kinda said they knew. That he went to name it, LCN, and they kinda beat him to it...

The FBI knew stuff about the organization before Valachi talked through other sources.

That's quite a memory as I don't recall that reference in Mob and the City.
