Was Dellacroce an infomer?

Hell who?

I believe the agents specifically said it was a Gambino member who reported the Commission meeting. There's no reason to think it was Scarpa.

Carmine Lombardozzi was still alive at that point and had been previously active as an informant. I'm not sure if he'd have been in the loop on the Commission activities or if he had continued to inform in any capacity into the 1980s, but he is another possibility.

The tip must have come from somebody who was going to be there or somebody who was going to drive one of the bosses there. That´s the most logical explanation for the successful catch. Usually the bosses do not tell their underlings where exactly a meeting will take place. In their eyes, they don´t need to know the details. Another possibility is that the tip came from the house owner. Do anyone know who the house owner was at the time? That could narrow it down in finding out who the tipster was.

Could the address/date/time of the Commission meeting been picked up by the feds from the bug in Castellano's house; or Tony Ducks' Jaguar; or the bug in the floor of Fat Tony's social club? Either of them could have spoken about the meeting and been heard.

Pogo is right on pointing out with bruce m said..there was that street rumor before they got pinched ,a high level guy in that family was a c.i.

[/Let me give you a further hint to think about - who was in that apt but never caught talking mob business on those tapes?

Who wasn't caught on the Ravenite apt. bug talking mob business? The only convos I recall hearing from those tapes were Gotti & Frankie Loc

Also, does anyone have the full Time Magazine artical in the link below about Dellacroce being an informant? From what I've read this is just the FBI placing disinformation about a respected and regarded Cosa Nostra legend...perhaps spreading a little dysentery amongst the ranks...?

I'd like to read the full artical...

Also does anyone have a link to the audio recording of Dellacroce saying “we gotta roll it up and go to war”?

I’ve heard it somewhere online before but I can seem to find it!

It was a very high top echelon informant who gave up Gotti's apt. above the Ravenite. That info was Gotti's downfall.

I doubt it was him in this case as he wasn’t high level at the time ( maybe not even made ?) but Louis Moscatiello
I believe came out more recently as a CI . He was a Gotti disciple I think and came up with his HB crew , going way back.

Actually that has me thinking . In Gotti Jr Doc he said his dad had a rule to never talk murder with a guy he never did time with ( the Gravano mistake), so did Louis do time with Gotti ? Basically show how flawed both Gottis thought processes were

Said he would never associate with anyone who didn't do time
