The DeCicco truth

Post by JeremyTheJew »

Is frank DeCicco myth of being the ultimate gangster more because he was blown up / gravano building him up??

Iv watched a few documentaries and it always portrays him as being the guy

But on here we discuss him possibly being a informant... Then I think about how if it wasn't for him , the whole castellano situation wouldn't have gone the way it did. DeCicco is pretty much the ultimate betrayer in that situation giving the Gotti camp all the info they needed to make a move against castellano

So any opinions on this???

From what I know and have heard of him he was a rare breed. One of those guys who was a politician, an earner and a worker.
Very few made guys fall into all three categories.

Pennisi said a couple of Gambino guys told him Decicco would've made a great boss.

You trust Sammy?

All he did was murder his own crew and family for personal gain. Then flip when his time was up. That sound like better boss material than John?

Didn't Sammy say if they clipped Gotti that Frankie would have been the boss?

and I'm not defending Sammy here at all but if I recall correctly when he flipped he didn't give info on anyone that was in his crew. Which was Big Louie's crew at that point, is that right or am I misremembering?

Sammy and DeCicco were both traitors in clipping their boss. Why is killing Gotti, better?

This.

Sammy speaks glowingly of DeCicco. Castellano seemed to have trusted DeCicco. There’s a picture of him and Paul together at Paul’s house.Gotti included DeCicco into the plot to kill Paul.Gravano also claims that DeCicco went to see Gaspipe about seeing how he and others in the family would feel if they killed Paul, according to Sammy, Gaspipe told him to go ahead though Gas denied this later in his book

From what we know, he was a personage in that life.I think he was also involved in the unions. He seems to be well respected. He’s also the person that Gotti wanted as his Underboss and not for any political reasons. It seems as if he actually wanted DeCicco to be his Underboss

Scars says he and Gotti were extremely close especially they didn’t their bid together.

Incidentally, scars told a story recently that Gotti once hinted to him that DeCicco didn’t do his time well. Sort of derisively insinuated that he was a little wobbly kneed being locked up.

I can’t remember the name but there was a gambino who was murdered for claiming decicco was a rat. On the streets it seems no one believes there is any chance of that but I know people on here have said there is evidence to suggest it is a possibility
