any thoughts on jimmy barbieri? queens guy I believe. flipped pretty fast. what crew? good guy or bad? seen him mentioned in a few trials no one ever really roasted him. probaly didn't want to do life. I think he was in a Russell mauro murder a threat to massino leadership he had to go. no other reason , massino did say he was dealing.

Ridgewood, I’m sorry for this painful loss, especially because reconciliation with your brother never happened as you had hoped. If this helps any, I think that the reason it didn’t happen is your brother’s inability to see you did the right thing for yourself.

Very sorry about the loss, Frank. You're a good man.

And to those wondering, his relatives and family friends were members of the Sicilian faction of the Bonannos and he knew a ton of other people in that Family. He's a straight shooter and 100% reputable.

I think people would be interested in hearing more about the Cammaranos. What kind of reputation did Joe Sr. have and did you have much interaction with him when you were around the Grimaldis?

Thank you
