Former Lucchese member Frank Gioia Jr on YouTube with Jeff Nadu

Looks like it will be a separate channel to The Sitdown, not sure how similar the weekly shows will be to like the MBA-Pennisi show but probably some good info to be gleaned

Another scumbag rat who’s gonna tell tall tales about how he was the toughest gangster that’s ever lived but then melted like ice when he got arrested and has even been in trouble after his cooperation.

So Nadu has a new rat dick to suck but I expect it to all end in tears like it has with all the other rats he has tried to work with.

Not that it would ever happen in this day and age, but I suspect that all it would take is for one YouTube rat to get whacked and the others would shut up.

What is interesting about Gioa Jr is the fact that he was around the old Brooklyn Faction of the Lucchese Family. The same people who run the family today

He could give us some interesting insight into those individuals and I’m sure he will have some interesting stories about them.

Small thing I noticed in the little intro video they did today. Frank said he used to go around Pete DeFeo and the tagline said DeFeo was a Lucchese member. I have only ever known him to be Genovese so do we assume they put that wrong in the video or have we all been wrong all along lol? Frank himself did not say DeFeo was a Lucchese member so I'm assuming the tagline thing they put is wrong.

All of those guys are on youtube these days. I wonder what the most interesting government-informant that isn't yet on youtube would be.

Yes the tagline is wrong, plenty of cooperators have confirmed DeFeo's Genovese membership.
