Favorite wiretap moments

[SonnyBlackstein]

One of the funniest I remember is from Vincent Basciano when talking about a murder, I don’t remember it exactly but it goes something along the lines of ‘there’s no witnesses, no fingerprints, no DNA, plus the fact I never done it’

Gold.

Theres some good Donnie Brasco/Lefty transcripts out there.

Also Federico Giovanelli, westside, had his phone bugged for ages and there's 100 pages of his conversations floating around.

"Naturally high".

[Lefty_Ruggiero]

Donnie Brasco ones are funny. Lefty has a ton of good lines, some of them repeated, no wonder Pistone hated him.

"Let me tell you something..."
"What have I been telling you..."
"Get off your high horses..."

That Fritzy and Frankie Condo wiretap is beautiful. They really care about each other lol. Great to see them taking their health so seriously

[Amershire_Ed]

Franzese said he was close friends with Fritzy and that it was Fritzy who told Chin that Junior was really busting Franzese’s balls over the gas business. Which, according to Franzese, led to Chin calling for Franzese to meet him for a walk and talk on Houston St. And Franzese says at this walk and talk Chin asked him if he wanted to switch families. I’d be curious to find out if there is any chatter about Franzese in any of those Fritzy’ wire taps.

Im not sold on Franzese’s story. The only thing that kinda makes me believe this could’ve happened is Franzese said Chin didn’t like Junior at all. And he said Chin’s offer to him was more about his extreme dislike for Junior than trying to poach away a big earner.

Wow. Fascinating. Source? Would love to know more.

He starts talking about his relationship with Fritzy and ultimately meeting with Chin at the 3:00 mark. “Chin told me straight up that he didn’t like Junior, and that if I wanted to come be with him, he could make that happen”

Is there any audio of Chin Gigante?

Where was the “we dint break our captains...” line picked up on a wire? What’s the full story of it?

If I remember right, Cookie D'Urso recorded Genovese soldier Joseph Zito quoting Chin saying that.

Unless I'm overlooking something, I think the only time Chin was caught on tape was when he was kissing his wife goodbye over the phone.

[mpl0215]

That’s correct, it was picked up on a wire by guys just retelling a chin story

I think it was about a captain in another family who committed some infraction and they said they were gonna put him on the shelf ...and that was chin’s response lol
