Vinny “Ocean” Palermo
I wonder what Vinny Palermo/James Cabella is up to in 2018.
Ran the Decavalcantes, flipped. Lived in Witness Protection in Houston, Texas in a $Million home, running Strip Clubs. Got sued and outed as Vinny Palermo. Is being extorted by lawyers and took a bath selling his home.
I wonder if he’s still in Texas. I heard his son still silently runs one of his clubs.
Here are some articles I’m sure most of you have read. But just in case you haven’t, here’s a rundown of what been going on with him.

Re: Vinny “Ocean” Palermo
Is his brother still around or did he go into the program with him?
Re: Vinny “Ocean” Palermo
I honestly can’t find any info on his brother. But after digging a little deeper I found out he’s still in Texas. I kinda figured he’d stay in Texas. Besides owning Penthouse he also ran All Stars Cabaret, Ruchi’s Grill, and the Super Clean Car Wash all near Winrock and Westheimer. The house he’s in now is a huge step down from his last one on Memorial drive. I guess he’s keeping a lower profile these days after being outed.

Re: Vinny “Ocean” Palermo
Seems he was allowed by FEDS to keep $ after getting busted.
How else would he have been able to fund all those businesses.
Probably makes more $ now than he did back in Jersey.

Re: Vinny “Ocean” Palermo
Recently I heard that Palermo was out of Texas and running strip clubs down in Florida, I wonder if there's any truth to that.

Florida seems risky for a rat but I wouldn't put anything past that guy. He did that thing on tv and basically said come get me so he def has balls.

Re: Vinny “Ocean” Palermo
Why? They don't even kill rats in NY and NJ so why would they kill one in Florida?

It's a new morning in America... fresh, vital. The old cynicism is gone. We have faith in our leaders. We're optimistic as to what becomes of it all. It really boils down to our ability to accept. We don't need pessimism. There are no limits.

A 'Rat Club' since they have that and the ex-life in common.

Re: Vinny “Ocean” Palermo
Do they? HA! I don't keep up with there whereabouts so I wouldn't know but I guess they gotta live somewhere you'd think it'd be some out of the way place like Texas but I guess its hard to make that much of a change for these guys.
Re: Vinny “Ocean” Palermo
Trevor McDonald's 2-part documentary about the Mafia has mob rats from all different families coming together for a wedding. I can't remember exactly who was there other than Mikey Scars and Big Anthony Russo - two guys that probably didn't have much interaction while they were both on the streets but presumably came together following both of their defections. I unearthed a photo awhile ago also of Big Anthony Russo, Tommy McLaughlin and Larry Mazza hanging out together.SILENT PARTNERZ wrote: ↑Thu Jan 10, 2019 9:40 amI have always wondered if they communicate with each other.Rocco wrote: ↑Thu Jan 10, 2019 9:01 amFl is full of rats you kidding me?

So yes, there is sort of a "Rat Club." I guess it's nostalgic for these guys to hang out with each other.
Re: Vinny “Ocean” Palermo
I lived in Houston for a bit--fantastic strip clubs with a crap load of shit holes too. I don't think it's around anymore but one of the oldest was the Pink Pussycat Caberet that was owned by some Greeks.
I don't see how one can't make money with these clubs.
