Gene Borrello interview

[chubby]

Didn't say the only shooter the Bonnanos had left.

One of the few in his immediate crew.

Every neighborhood has one or two. Far cry from the old days.

The Bronx Bonnanos have shooters as well.

I’ve heard vinny jr and Stephen are wild as fuck. Not saying they’re out hitting people but I’ve heard they for sure aren’t timid about doing armed robberies and shit.

Just saw the shit on vlad tv. How the fuck could anyone trust gene. Honestly after hearing him talk for 30 seconds I could just get the vibe that he was scandalous as fuxk. And would never trust him, and stay far away from him. He’s exactly like he said he was . Chilling with a friend in the car then plotting on robbing him right when the guy gets out... and he for sure is still up to no good . He’s still a criminal... that’s one thing I do believe jr. gotti about... I dispise jr. and the rest of the gotti clan.. and jr is a eat giving up Marino in the proffer.. but I believe him about the whole witsec mafia thing.. all the guys who flip all move to Florida and all hangout with each other. I mean you can’t take 10-15 guys who lived an illegal lifestyle for 20 plus years and stick them all together and think that they’re not going to resort back to what they know... people do what they know... I I firmly believe all those guys who flipped living In south Florida are up to no good ... and I hate how gene blames every single thing on Ronnie and asaro... they didn’t force him to do this ahit. He was raising his hand volunteering to push his status in hopes of getting made... he acts like they manipulated him and had him under some hypnosis and the crimes he was doing were all to benefit them, like he wasn’t doing this shit for his own personal gain...

And can someone please shed some light on how festa... a young guy with his button was literally the straight lick target of all of queens??? How the fuck can a made guy get robbed handfuls of times?? Who were robbing him?? Why was he such a target?? If he was a target cause he was that soft, then that’s an embarrassment to the whole Bonanno family. His assed should have got shelved after the 3rd robbery. How can you impose fear in people to pay their shy vig weekly when everyone knows you’ve been robbed 10 times with no repercussions??? I’m so confused on that.... someone who grew up in the neighborhood or whatever please inform me about these festa incidents...

Festa is half Irish , He's not from HB he's from Woodhaven and as far as the robberies , It was Cognata and company who were going in on him . Now , Borrello is trying to kill Cognata one minute gunning for him and the next he's hanging out with him back in 2012 etc ...I don't get it either but that's the way of the Mob lol

There was another kid out there I'm not gonna put his name on here , But he was going in on all these idiots as well at the time and fucked up a few Bonannos and Gambinos and was in the thick of all this crap and a few years back I think 2017 some Gambinos along with Bonannos and some local rapper tried setting the guy up to get hit and thought were luring the kid out , Meanwhile the Feds already got wind of the whole thing through some of these HB rats affiliated with the Gams and went to the kids house and warned him of the whole plot . Anyway, The kid goes along with the thing and goes out right into the trap and these morons had like 30 people plus all set up , The kid recognizes a bunch of and ends up poisoned and in the hospital lmao..The Cops and Feds got the whole thing ..Fucken morons

Basically it was a sting op. That turned into nothing because these idiots were all scared to make a move . So the Sting Op.turns into part of a future indictment sometime down the road

[Targenmantarian]

Yup.

Uncharged conduct is always Relevant for federal purposes.

So even those aborted schemes and shootings and unconsumated drug deals just become bullet points on an indictment a few years down the road.

[gohnjotti]

Not to derail the topic but it reminds me of the recent Joey Amato indictment in the Colombo family. A lot of talk and bluster captured over eight months of wiretapping to create an indictment.

In the indictment, wiretaps caught Joey Amato Sr. and Jr. discussing how they would stand up for their friend who owed money to some smalltime bookies. The tapes on their own aren't so bad - from what I've read, the Amatos never had the intention of physically harming them - but they were used to create another extortion charge, which constitutes a crime of violence. It means that over eight months of nothing but idle talk and bragging, prosecutors can create an indictment with dozens of violent crimes.
