Mikey was my ceiling in the feds . Don’t believe all this bad stuff you hear about him . Literally one of the nicest guys you’ve ever met . Kind hearted and always there to help friends
Good to know all these Informants badmouth the guys that stand-up they stain there rep with there "Poor me Stories" wish had Wise-Guys in NC could use'em, all we got are Drug Dealers around here 🫤💯.
People talk shit about MANCUSO HES A LEGEND THAT PLEASANT AVE CREW WAS VICIOUS ALL OF THEM GREAT SHOW DOC , SCOTTY, and your guest knows a lot about my hometown in JERSEY LOVE FROM TRENTON, NJ
We need to know more about this Caldwell guy. How did the black guy get connected with a lucchesi's and the Purple Gang guys. That's got to be really interesting
Great content scott! I was away with Johnny echoes in the early 2000's at devens, he was in his late 70's and still the real deal! Still doing pushups and chin ups daily. Interesting guy
Love your podcast gentlemen and the spot on job you guys do putting your information together . Do you guys have an email address! I’d like to reach out
😃, lol. I admit it's tough hanging with guys like Burnstein and Deitche. I'm into theoretical criminology, criminal subcultures, and a handful of Sicilian Mafia case studies. I'm not a names and dates guy. So I'm always blown away at how dudes like Burney, Deitche and our friends at the Mob Archeologists can remember all these names. Thanks for watching and commenting 🤘
You two keeping making great videos. Both of you are very knowledgeable. You guys both play to each other's strength. Great guest as well keep them coming!!
This is 1 of my favorite shows it’s cool you history with the Jewish guys I have a deep history in the tristaye area going back to the 30s until my life I was born in 1990 with the south Philly guys decavs and gambinos my whole family and my best friend growing up was Sam decavs nephew Frankie Rizzo rip also my father very tight with the admin in Philly for years great show love from TRENTON NJ
No. But he is related to Abe Bernstein the former leader of the Detroit Purple gang and later associated with the Detroit Partnership which is/was on the Ruling Panel of the National Commission. One/Nine Borgatas on the Ruling Panel.
@@JulianStev54444 it would be his great Uncle? Or Great Grandfather perhaps… It’s pretty common knowledge around Metropolitan Detroit, so I don’t think Scott or Jimmy cares we discuss how he is related, so with that said maybe Jimmy or Scott could clarify Scott’s lineage when it comes to the Detroit Purple Gang connection
Before Bumpy Johnson. Also Bumpy was a big guy but I truly think he was blown up bigger than what he was. Italians controlled him. He was a boss of blacks that's it.
@@davidthomas7912I kno he was close with the Genovese family. My father told me that Bumpy used to come down to Hester St and Gambled with them . He told me a great story about Bumpy and Tommy Gigalli who was a Skipper with the West side.
Man here at work relistening to podcast on RUclips as usual and thinking to myself man I'd love to smoke a few Fatty's while discussing crime with Scott and Jimmy would be a great time for sure
When I think of Mancuso all I think about is the atrocity committed at the Funeral. If he pulled that stunt in the 60s-80s do you think he is still the Boss?
Likely there would have been a Spilt like the Bonnano War's(IMHO if was the 60's-80's Era), Just Imagine if a Mobster in an Admin Slot did that in that Era 1. They would be dead within a month/Wk or 2. Shelved & Disgraced like Joe Bonnano was when tried to take out Lucchese-Gambino with Joe Magliocco, Can't Respect someone nor follow someone who does that in a place where ppl tryna to grieve a Loved one, The Commisson Might have stepped in like did in the 60's-80's & Tried to Patch up the rift or Leaned more to One side but since we have to factor in Modern Era/Everything is Watered down Verison, I think Most Costra Nostra Families are sitting back with their hand's up waiting to see what comes of Situation.
The Nose has his ear👂 to the Streets 🛣️, Out of all the modern mobsters Mancuso stands out if you see any videos 📸/Images he "Wears" it Proudly like that video of him strutting into court & smirking 😏 at the reporter
Still don’t know how they were convicted the witnesses changed their stories numerous times and the judge shoudve removed herself from the case because yrs ago she was the prosecutor in crea case yrs ago
PRISCO was my favorite JERSEY PURPLE GANG BOSS AND FROM WHAT I KNOW PEOPLE WERE SCARED 2 death of the Meldishs and if they didn’t do dope despite being half German could have got straighten out in jersey
Wasn't Prisco related partly to Meldish(?), If so Like you mention they could have gotten there 🔘 Button through Prisco,(Since was Jersey Capo), Like they were distant cousins down the Line 🤷♂️, A lot of Powerful Wise-Guys came outta that Purple Gang to become future Captain's/Capo's, Bosses.

Great podcast. Love the English "D" hat!
There was a show called the million dollar movie that came on at 6 pm every weekday night in New York. They referred to the Purple Gang quite often.

Instead of fan boying Panisi and running down Dominic Crea, why don't you have him on your show?
Great content scott! I was away with Johnny echoes in the early 2000's at devens, he was in his late 70's and still the real deal! Still doing pushups and chin ups daily. Interesting guy
I thought the meldishs were half Italian and half polish and were first cousins of Angelo Prisco.
Edit: yeah. I thought I remembered that.
Meldesh are Half Italians arent they....becuz if I remember correctly.....they related to the Prisco's🤔💯

Meldish is a Lithuanian/Polish/East German/Prussian surname. I own A Hardcover copy of the pleasant avenue connection i bought in the late 90s for $10
In the song Jailhouse Rock, Elvis mentions a Purple Gang

Thanks!!
Speaking of the Florida mob guys, do any of you know about Louis Massaro or his father Freddy Masssro, Fort Lauderdale?
Is Scott Burstein related to lefty Rosenthal?
No. But he is related to Abe Bernstein the former leader of the Detroit Purple gang and later associated with the Detroit Partnership which is/was on the Ruling Panel of the National Commission. One/Nine Borgatas on the Ruling Panel.
@@josephsierzengaIV yeah I thought something like that... His father? Or uncle?
@@JulianStev54444 it would be his great Uncle? Or Great Grandfather perhaps…
It’s pretty common knowledge around Metropolitan Detroit, so I don’t think Scott or Jimmy cares we discuss how he is related, so with that said maybe Jimmy or Scott could clarify Scott’s lineage when it comes to the Detroit Purple Gang connection
Scott's great grandfather and the Purple Gang Burnstein brothers were first cousins. Thanks for watching 👍
@@originalgangsterspod thanks for the clarification Jimmy!
Keep up the great work Amico!
Wasn’t Tommy dambrosia a made guy in the luchesses???
The brothers were Germans/Italian the whole upper eastside was German at one time. Alot of those people relocated to the east Bronx
Purple Gang in Detroit was hard core Jewish Hitman....Controlled the Border of Canada & Canadian Whiskey.
Purple gang name is because they both used the same 22 caliber guns
Get a job. Don’t be a wiseguy. It’s played out like z cavaricchis
Jersey is a pygmy thing! 😂

Is this after bumpy johnson
Because I know That harlem was bumpy johnson's area so I was just wondering if that was the same time frame or not
Before Bumpy Johnson. Also Bumpy was a big guy but I truly think he was blown up bigger than what he was. Italians controlled him. He was a boss of blacks that's it.

Not like that anymore.
Isn’t this a repeat?

Me too, disgraceful like Artie Bucco's failed suicide attempt - it's not like he was Cobain though. 🤌
@@itsmywayorthegeminimethod1095
The bonanos weren't on the commission, plus the guy who's funeral it was was shelved , why wld they care...
The Nose knows... :)

They rob their mothers. While living in mom’s basement apt.
Wake up
Wonder if Enzo is shelved or still involved after admitting he was a made member....
Still don’t know how they were convicted the witnesses changed their stories numerous times and the judge shoudve removed herself from the case because yrs ago she was the prosecutor in crea case yrs ago
It's an Absolute Fact, that if you join the Mob you're going to Snitch at some point, and then become a Star on RUclips. Guaranteed!!! Lol jk

Was Michael Meldish a Jewish ✡ Mobster? Wasn't the Original Purple Gang all Jewish Mobsters? What kind of name is that? Matt NYC
