2007 Frank Lagano hit

[Tonyd621]

The above mentioned CI’s story sounds like BS or at the very least, fabricated. How does Scott know the exact set of the Bloods that pulled off the hit? And why would the Luccheses be upset if the hit was a success & nobody’s gotten pinched for it? I know the NJ Lucchese’s have ties to 93 (nine trey) and I’d imagine the Feds investigated the possibility of them
being behind Lagano’s killing. Honestly, Scott seems like someone who sensationalizes his stories so I’m taking this with a grain of salt.

I agree. my point exactly.

Scott saw documentation regarding a CI giving information to investigators about the Lagano hit. The CI, not Scott, claimed the Bloods, specifically the Nine Trey Gangsters carried out the hit. That seems interesting to me and worth reporting. Scott never said he agreed or disagreed with the CI's information. He's just being descriptive. He's just saying that's what the dude claimed and investigators followed up on it. So Im not sure what Scott is doing wrong here. I know there's a contingent on this board who just straight up don't like Scott or his reporting, but I don't see the criticism here.

If you look at my posts before SB went behind the paywall i am vouching for him and his website. I am critical now because his articles have changed since he went behind tge paywall. That type of sensationalism imo was not there before. More over, we all understand when covering OC that sources are kept confidential, but every story is from some "anonymous" sources. He has to find other sources to be on the record, correct? Why can't he cite a document or LE files that he utilized. Ill give you two examples:the shootings at the Cammaranos with Mancuso-Capeci didn't report it. Maybe he thinks he did but he's so old he forgot. It's not in news reports. There is some vague descriptions about a drive by shooting that is possibly on the street the Cammaranos reside. And if that aforementioned story is all there is then alot of what he reported is the articles I been accustomed to from SB. And the second example is regarding the Luccheses doing business in Chicago. He wrote that without any historical context. Imo he kind made it sound as if this was happening present day. Just because you been holding onto a story for 13 years it's still old, but it's new to most of us and lead to believe this is currently going on

Can we get an administrator to make this conversation between me and JB it's own thread and not buried under the Lagano 2007... I think more ppl will be inclined to read and or post what they think about this topic if they know it's there...

Has Pennisi ever discussed Lagano? He was just coming around the Luccheses around this timeframe.

I think this is the issue. Now that he's behind a paywall, there is additional pressure to make the site worth paying for. Therefore, some stories that might be strictly from hearsay or a sketchy source, are being printed when it's possible that they really shouldn't see the light of day.

Pennisi said he had heard the name before but didn’t know anything. I assume the only way he heard about it is when he proferred for the fbi

He wasn't on record until 2012.

My mistake I think he was released in 07 and was out a few years. Did Lagano go back to Acceturo/Tacetta era?

Frank lagano was in little Al's crew. He took over varios huge brooklyn crew. I'm guessing lagano was probably a brooklyn guy originally who went over to nj

[Pmac2]

The perna kids where made around 2007 maybe they had a role in his death.

[Pmac2]

Probably a sneak hit or they would have found a way to put it on Madonna and crea who definitely were in charge of the family in 2007

He lived in NJ since at least the late 70s but he was associated with the Bronx faction. Guys from other factions were assigned to D'Arco to keep an eye on them.

In 1991, after D'Arco was demoted from acting boss, Lagano was one of the guys in his crew who got reassigned. Lagano and Curly Russo were put in the Avellino crew.
