there really isnt much new things he can go over i feel....
We think we know but we have no idea. A book by him would be a treasure trove imo
The recent Leonetti book was great and the Philly/Scarfo era had been covered 6 ways to Sunday prior to its release.
Massino could write 4 books with shit nobody on this forum knows. Wasnt he basically in power througout the 90's?
Truth is he probably doesnt need the money, and what they can offer him probably isnt a whole lot, like Antilliar said. Or maybe he's fucking embarrassed, who knows.
"Do you think Ralph is a little weird about women?"
They allowed Massino to keep his money, Strollo in Youngstown too, just 2 random examples, and how many others were there? Imo it doesn't really make sense to "fight" crime leaving all the profit in their hands. I remember reading in a book about the Sicilian mafia, where it was said something like "you can give a mafioso a prison sentence, no matter how long, and he won't take it personally, but you will get in BIG trouble if you touch his money". I think they have a point: the important thing is to leave big criminals penniless, even more important than keeping them imprisoned (although both are important of course, but letting them keep the profit is a deal WAY to favorable to the defendants imo).

Completely agree. If a guy knows his family are well taken care of he's much more inclined than if they were left on the street.
i think he will do a book, he does not need the money, my opinion ..he wanted to change the name to the massino family, anyone remember that? that is ego and he will want to go down on record ..i hope he does a manifesto.

Nah, if he was going to do one, he'd have done it by now. Why wait thirteen years? If it was going to happen it would've happened already.
Maybe he is dead,already..I dont know if he is,but in that case i dont think we would ever hear about that.I wondering where is he fat bastard..And what kind of life he is involved with...
I read somewhere that his wife and kids turned on him when he flipped and have nothing to do with him,dont know how true that is but wouldnt that be just what he deserves? Turn on your mafia family and get out of prison to no wife or kids because they turned on you,hope it is true ,serves the fuckin rat bastard right.

I read that too, but I doubt they're complaining anymore since him flipping was the only way to guarantee they kept their assets.
The guy should still be in the can. The government basically let him go for testifying against basciano and a few others when vitale,coppa, and lino would have been more then enough to get the job done. So the government basically spent all of this time and money to nab this guy and when they finally got him they let him go for basically little value....

Sorry for the small off-topic.
Massino had 10 million in cash and precious metals in his attic the Feds didn't know about until he flipped. They seized that and let him keep a few properties. He basically bought his freedom.
If I had a choice on rats to write a book it would have to be with a credible author. I would want a book by John pate frank Lino and a real gas pipe book. All with their total knowledge of social club addresses plus crew breakdowns. All that they know about both.
