A one-time Boston mobster who served 16 years in prison before he was freed by a judge who ruled that prosecutors may have coerced him into admitting to a role in a killing he had no part in has sued the state attorney general for the return of $268,000 he says was unjustifiably confiscated.

The complaint filed last week by Vincent “The Animal” Ferrara”, 73, said $250,000 was earned when he acted as a “facilitator” between a buyer and a seller in a real estate transaction, while the other $18,000 was earned through lawful business endeavors and from Social Security.

This is menial bullsh$t. This country sucks so bad right now, they make the mobsters look like the good guys.

To be fair, it's not the same thing imo. They took something from him that he might of earned legally. It's not like the situation when Pennisi told the story about Anthony Guzzos step son or whatever filing a lawsuit against a Genovese backed strip club after a fight.

I mean what's he supposed to be do? Make threats that's exactly what the govt wants so those labels they put on him stick and have a credibility

Why did he get the nick Animal?

[davidf1989]

was it Danny Angiulo who inducted Ferrara into the Mafia and what was the Limoli homicide all about?

Danny Angiulo sponsored Vinnie into LCN, Jerry Angiulo made him in '83.

Jimmy Limoli Oct. '85 hit in the North End:

Limoli was Ferrara's childhood best friend, but kept pulling drug deal rip-offs and was playing Russian Roulette by robbing Boston mob heavy hitters like Spucky Spagnolo. His 100,000 coke rip off of Spucky got him clipped. Ferrara allegedly ordered it and coordinated it, but was not the shooter.

Thanks for your reply Scott was Salemme jr involved with Limoli or something?

[scott22]

Salemme Jr. was beefing with Limoli at the time and the drugs Limoli stole from Spucky he thought belonged to Salemme, Jr.

Quick correction: Ferrara and Limoli didnt grow up together, Limoli grew up as an errand boy for Vinny.

Fake. Media created.

[davidf1989]

I found this legal article about Patriarca Jr where it mentions that his underboss Grasso had wanted Ferrara dead at one point.
