Old interview with Nick Caramandi

Post by TallGuy19 »

I was doing some research on Caramandi and came across this old NPR interview with Caramandi and George Anastasia. Pretty interesting.

I believe he is still alive. He is in his eighties now, and in 2016 he was reportedly living in a trailer park in "Middle America."

Maybe the greatest mob book ever written blood n honor. Crow was great he didnt fluff himself up and came across as a dirtbag but it was a honest portrayal

There's another interview he did years ago where he took questions in writing. Wish I could recall where it was. It might not be available anymore online. Was around 2000/2002, in that ball park.

You believe that? He was afraid of that long sentence like the rest of these guys that "regret it"

Did he ever kill anyone? From what I recall in the book it was always charlie white or someone else pulling the trigger and he was just there

He said he was on the scene for four murders, but never pulled the trigger, and was involved in setting up another four or five—including the hit on Salvie Testa.

He was backup shooter in the Pat Spirito murder, driver in the Frank Martines attempted murder, disposal in the Salvie Testa murder and was also on hit teams sent out to try and kill Harry Riccobene, Sonny Riccobene, Bobby Riccobene, Bobby Rego and others.

Never was a killer... just a con artist. Never should’ve been made. Two of scarfo’s biggest mistakes were making Nicky crow and killing Salvie.
