Was Dellacroce an infomer?

[bronx]

also ,there was a rat that rumor had was very close to the top that was an informer when gotti and other were arressted.

[bronx]

sclafani did have good info through the years,maybe he and decicco never liked each other and planted false info with the boss,joe butch was his cousin and captain, these guys when they wanted a guy out of the way, say rat, many good men have been accused falsely ,i have never seen any paper work on him being a rat, be great if someone can post it. not saying it can't be true, there has always been well placed c.i. guys now prob more than ever, the G pays well for informer high echelon guys..

[bronx]

scarpa was close to scapi, wise guys shared "need to know" info often..

Many of the top guys had friendly relationships with FBI. In a way, they believed it may curry them some favor or leniency for any potential future indictment/conviction. It wasn’t as uncommon as you would think. It’s called playing both sides of the fence Super. I concur with Pogo, it wouldn’t surprise me to hear any mob chieftain did that.

+1 JCB. So many of them did what you described above. Tid bit here, tid bit there. The OC guys know they are under constant
surveillance, so why not tell LE what they already know in order to get a little credit 'in the bank' with the FBI or NYC OC Task force.
e.g Carmine Lombardozzi gave info IIRC.

DPG jr gotti made up some "facts" on that show

Kinda figured that. I enjoyed it for the most part tho. All these guys make up facts, like a lot of us do lol

The fed turned up at Dellacroce's club and turned him into a CI in a few minutes One of the most hilarious things I've read in OC. Everything points toward him being true CN

Re-reading the Gravano FBI debriefings it seems Gus Sclafani made a "beef", a formal complaint against DeCicco, not just spreading a rumour.

As an interesting note, when DeCicco was arrested for hijacking in 1969 along with Mikey Paradiso (resulting in the 1970 prison photo with them two and John Gotti) the police stated that they on a tipped off about the hijacking. But of course why would DeCicco inform on a hijacking he himself was in on.

I thought DeCicco was arrested in '66?

He could have been, this newspaper clipping is from August 9 1969.

So does anyone think the fbi have ever had a family boss as a c.i. Seems they got pretty close if indeed dellacroce and/or decicco were c.i.s

[Snakes]

Ed wrote an article a couple months ago about the San Francisco boss being an informant in the 60s.

It states he was also charged with a bunch of offences. Unlikely in that case I would assume.

Thats my whole thing with this that didnt seem right to me. Whats the point in a rumor? If you know hes informing go straight to the damn boss with it.
