Scars

Jr Gotti 75%

D'Arco was believable in his book, scars just comes across as a very honest guy and seems to have a great memory and Pennisi has said things that have come out as true. He might twist some stories here and there to make himself look better and outside of that crazy ghost story lol I don't think he's said anything that's turned out to be bullshit.

I don't listen to what Gravano says outside of the stuff he's testified to. I checked a few of his videos out and to me he doesn't come across as genuine and his memory seems a bit shot.

Based on what gravano said in his book and testified to, I believe him to be 85% honest. I think he held back a lot on his old crew like Lou Vallario, frankie fap who used to own Ivy's which was a mediorce restaurant on Greenwich st in Tribeca. Anthony Fusco owns a great place on Beach st that had to close down but has moved from greenwich st fulll restaurant to a little takeout place on beach st that is amazing- Il Mattone.

Liars: john alite, vinnie teresa, calandra,

Truth- Joe massino, Sal Vitale, COppa, cantarella

casso might just be telling the truth about gravano/drug dealer and some of his more outlandish claims may or may not be true-who knows?

I have a concussion so cannot think of anyone else

Not like anyone will be able to tell the difference.

if that like that, pogo, makes you feel better then keep at it.

you're an angry guy - successful people do not have that in them. They / We are too busy to make nasty comments on the internet.

And Jimmy Calandra did 10 yyoutube videos claiming to know tommy karate, visited him in prison (he photoshopped the prison photos) and came up with elaborate stories that proved to be completely false.

Hope things get better and I'll pray for you

Is Salemme considered a rat as he only testified against a corrupt FBI agent and offered up information on two informants Bulger and Flemmi in a congressional testimony.

I think that Deluca was fairly believable as a jury bought his testimony about helping to bury a body for Salemme.
