New LCNBios: Santini and Prisco (2004)

[Pogo The Clown]

It was real greaseball shit.

[Rocco]

After Prisco went to prison in 08, who took over his crew?

Joseph "PePe" LaScala was his Acting Capo.


Pogo

I think LaScala is out with dementia I believe. I wonder if they made Louie Auricchio since he came home in 2011. I wasn't made right before he went away although they did pass the crew to him briefly before they locked him up for the Tax evasion. He is living the high life in Long Branch. His restaurant closed last yr. I believe his specialty before he went away was moving kilo's of coke and labor racketeering.

Eventually, all the guys with $ and sense move to Monmouth County, NJ.
Perfect environment and location to live well.

[TommyNoto]

What’s very interesting IMO is Priscos view on rats and it seems the Westsides view that killing a rat after the arrests doesn’t make much sense.

Also the view that in 2004 the gambinos ( I believe he was referring to NJ ) was quite

New LCNBios entries deserve their own their own thread ala Gangland. This one has a transcript of conversations between the cooperating informant Jeff Santini and Genovese captain Angelo Prisco.

http://lcnbios.blogspot.com/2018/08/san ... -2004.html

the thread went sideways. lets talk about the recording

1. Interesting he never mentions anyone from his family. only refers to "them" or "they." JD mentions he is talking about or going to see Danny Leo. he must have read that in the fbi file.
2. calls Jr Gotti a good kid and the rest of them he doesnt care for.
3. steven seagal. if you read the papers it makes it look like Prisco had Ciccone back off but the Gambino's acutally sent word back they;ll do what they want so he told Seagal he couldnt help him, maybe when he gets out. later on Sonny Ciccone sends a lawyer to see him and he tells them to go fuck themselves. says thats the difference between his family and theirs. his family basically is less talkative and more secretive. said they were schooled that way. says the gambinos gossip and know all about each others business. Although he did like Nicky Lasorsa.
4. seems like when he went away they disbanded his crew instead of having an acting capo for him. maybe thats Leo's call? was barney away at the time? he says it never would have happened would if "this guy was home." Chin?
5. Interesting Leo and Prisco were Purple and by all accounts got along. now he comes home and hes on the outs.

[SILENT PARTNERZ]

Has there ever been a list of (NYC) Purple Gang members?
It would interesting to see who was a member, and how many
later were made w/ a Family.

Good questions Cheech


I believe the Glen Rock mention could allude to Leo as I believe he lived or had property there

I believe Prisco did end up helping as Seagal ended up paying $10k for an attorney to Rep Prisco in a legal matter. There was an investigation into Prisco early parole as it was alleged the Gov aide recommended him to be paroled ( could of been a high powered attorney that had the Gov. or his aides ear )

I’m not so sure him and Leo were on the outs at that point as he said they have been doing right by him by breaking off $1500 a month . My guess is it was more a pre caution due to the sudden urgency of the meeting ( x mass eve ) but you could also be right given Prisco talk with the Feds in the smoking gun document 3-4 years later where he complains about not financially being taken care of while he was in the can. This would of been around the time Barney was close to coming home so who knows who had a say in his treatment and / or it could of been self inflicted .

Yes Barney was away during that time in 2004 and yes he meant the Chin from my understanding

Would be interesting to know who the guys / crew he lost when he was away as it appears they were earners and based on the break off and lump sum arrangement . Could of been NJ guys as both Leo and Priscilla had major NJ activity .

not close like bordering towns or anything, but not too far away either maybe a 30 minute drive

always found it kinda interesting...with the traffic in and around NY / NJ and the random places these guys live and meet in, they gotta spend a ton of their day just sitting in the fuckin car
