These are by far the best episodes. Scott and Jeff need to link and do a permanent LCN Podcast. That would instantly take over the Mob RUclips genre. 🇮🇹
@tactical crew chief to be fair, they are not into taking over the mob space but carving their own space with various topics and genres also they stay away from the online mob genre beefs.Jeff also does sports etc and scott did consultant work for BMF and other stuff. the other channels rely on creating beefs

Great podcast you guys! The detailed info, that does NOT stray too far into conjecture or unproven gossip- which is an easy mistake to fall into in this "game" is amazing. #detroit100Years
Good point about the Mancuso failed murder plot. Massino perhaps did the most damage to the crime family by telling the FBI they planned to kill Mancuso because they’ve been stuck with a terrible boss recently. Bosses nowadays are hard to supplant because they aren’t getting killed and the commission isn’t meeting anymore so unless the guy steps down, you’re pretty much stuck with him until he dies. Not even prison can take them out. Just look at Amuso and Persico.
@@cristristam9054 ok sure but that’s never happened before and even if it were still true- there would always be one capo who holds out in order to benefit himself by staying in the current bosses good graces and not going against him
Say what you want about Mancuso, it doesn’t sound like he’s been a great boss imo either, but the fact that he weathered the storm and didn’t cooperate after learning about multiple failed murder plots within his own family, then being convicted of 20 years in prison- is really amazing imo. Not many guys would have stayed loyal in his position.
Vinny was made in 1990, became Capo in 2001 and became Acting Boss in 04(though he was helping the Panel run the family throughout 2003 and early 2004)
In Late 70’s early 80’s Vinny was already Close to acouple Powerhouses . Massino was wary of Vinny because he wanted Yes man and not guys that would be able to take over.....
That basciano story with him and Dom in the corvette he tells on his channel is amazing 😂. I can only imagine what the Connecticut state troopers talked about that night when they got back to the station
I heard Dom say this in some video recently and I think he's correct about joe Massena. Joe brought the family back but he was too worried about other people usurping power so he filled all the leadership positions with guys who weren't the most solid and found "reasons" to have some stronger guys hit. So when they start feeling the heat almost all of them flip.
Well and that also explains why their leadership sucks today. Same with the Colombo’s and the same thing is gonna happen to the Lucchese. Carmine Persico held onto power for way too long and didn’t breed any future bosses. Same thing Amusos doing now from prison. Not to mention when Vic and Gas wiped out damn near half their family when they took over. And the Colombo’s also had a war. Just imagine where those families would be today if those things didn’t happen. That’s ultimately the biggest downfall for all these families- leadership. It starts at the top. If your leadership sucks it doesn’t matter who’s underneath you because they’re not gonna get the most outta them. That’s why the Gambinos and Genovese have continued to be so strong all throughout history up until the present day. Both families always had great bosses at the helm.
Dom cicale says he loves Vinny and loves this guy and that guy but he ratted on all of them😂😂and says he wishes the best for them and there families while he drinks his EG vadoka smh rats.. Don't do crime if you can't do time kids.
I used to go to Tijuana to get pain meds like Norcos and oxycodone all the time when I lived in San Diego. Yes I did have an addiction to these meds and I'm certainly not advising anyone to do the same. I put myself in some dangerous situations where i could have been incarcerated or killed.
Can we stop this whole “Sal Vitale was an ex police officer or ex prison guard” thing… he was a corrections officer for less than a year way back in the late 60’s. It was like 9-10 months that he worked there. I understand the mafia has all their technicalities, but I just hate when ppl continue that narrative nowadays. Is it true? Yea. But the way ppl talk about it they make it seem like he was doing it as a career his entire life then just became a made guy.
Just on that he should've never been made, but when the boss is your brother in law..massino actually lied about that saying that sal was never a corrections officer! What part of Boston are you from? Just curious I'm from the city myself
I’ve heard so many names thrown around the last couple years they probably have a panel of high ranking capos running the family. That’s why there hasn’t been any other indictments on them. Or one boss in particular.
They should change the name to the. Basciano family. And if it’s true about taking Mikey nose out on Valentine’s Day would have to be in his 302s.He said he was around the west side. Correct Jeff what you just said. He’s never would have job the job with E M. He’d still be sitting on the bench. Also correct. Bruno brought him around.
Dom was around Big Ernie first, The thing I would ask Dom is was he Vinnys right hand man or was Mikey Nose cause when Vinny was on the street, Mikey Nose was Vinnys Underboss. Mikey Nose got his button in 1996 and made Underboss in 2004 and Boss by 2005
Vitale is a chameleon type guy, total snake. He was in love with being a high ranking wise guy, then as soon as the cards folded he changed his colors becoming a devastating cooperator. I've read as soon as the cuffs hit his wrist he told the arresting agents he intended to cooperate.
The Bonnanos are the only borgata where the light is shining brightly on the Boss. No other representante has people publicaly giving out current info...so DC is doing something uniquely injurious to Mancuso. Heck..in case of the Colombos..the admn structure is somewhat opaque....espl the Persico factor. One question..if Vic can remain Boss why do we presume that VinnyB don't have nothing to do with that position ? Being where he is, Gorgeous hardly needs an Acting/Street Boss for cover!
Vinnie can run it from jail...Vick did it from prison for his whole life!! A lot of Bosses can but guys like Nick Scarfo would not name a boss because he want control over everything!!! Where a guy like Vick Amuso name a boss so he and his family keep getting paid...he was well respected! Not by just his family but also the rest of the family's bosses. Meaning the Colombos, Gambinos And last and I think the most important family The Genevieve's crime family.
Scott yes Massino did a lot of great things for the family ...But he did a lot of bad things to. If he put the right leadership in places the circa 2002/2004 wouldn’t of been what it was.
Like what you guys do 🍿 🎥 better than a Hollywood movie , even though a lot is fantasyland regarding the “life” ,and guess what , Law enforcement agencies believe ☝️ this stuff to be 💯 Facts! It’s not , no disrespect. Boston N.E. 💪
He was a corrections officer in 1968 after he got out of the military for less than a year. Then he went on to work for Massinos catering business. That whole narrative of him being a cop is blown way out of proportion.
When Vinny was on the street, Michael Mancuso was his Underboss. I think Dom wouldn’t have be the street boss if he was on the street. There’s a reason Vinny made Michael Mancuso his Underboss and only made Dom a Captain
Soo many people that consider themselves mob afficionados have this idea in their head that u cant turn down the button cause its a sign of disrespect 😂😂 complete idiots they make me laugh
I think what happened to basciano is, Jimmy the gents soul came back to get rid of one more guy who blew that Luftansa money Jimmy left FOR HIS DAUGHTERS!
@@KinoRunner_ no…I think some of his relatives might still be around. His son in law had an office in brighton beach. No, Balagula is Russian and yiddish for the driver, or guy riding the horse with the carriage. I have a cdl and have driven everything…thus the name. I’m a capo for GOD ONLY. I only serve him, not gangster, entertainers, or politicians.🤐
Scott had to unsubscribe bringing this fraud on your great show. Big mistake. Also his college hoops picks are 39% this year after being 38% last year. Facts and figs Scotty

If all captains agree they can shelve a boss non-violently even ,early retirement.

Massina flipped 5 minutes after he was convicted. He didn’t even leave the courthouse before he flipped.

Another dope ass collab!! Great job fellas, real great info dropped here and well presented.
Great episode guys! Love your collabs some of the best episodes on both pods 🔥
That basciano story with him and Dom in the corvette he tells on his channel is amazing 😂. I can only imagine what the Connecticut state troopers talked about that night when they got back to the station
What a way to wake up ! Another great episode ! Appreciate you Scott

Two of the best in the business.
Dom cicale says he loves Vinny and loves this guy and that guy but he ratted on all of them😂😂and says he wishes the best for them and there families while he drinks his EG vadoka smh rats.. Don't do crime if you can't do time kids.
Didnt Vinny reach out to Mikey about about The Zottola issue and Mikey basically said I’m on the street not you .....or something along those lines.
Greatvideo man!!
Great info. Great chemistry. Appreciate when you guys hook up.💯
I used to go to Tijuana to get pain meds like Norcos and oxycodone all the time when I lived in San Diego. Yes I did have an addiction to these meds and I'm certainly not advising anyone to do the same. I put myself in some dangerous situations where i could have been incarcerated or killed.
Lol... Jeff, “hitter after hitter” Hate to break it to you but Frank Coppa And Richard Cantarella Were NOT hitters..... they were MONEY Guys only.
Funny, I mentioned oxycodone in my earlier comment and you just mentioned oxycodone when talking about Mancuso.
This has officially become the point station for me
Dom Cicale would of Never gotten his button as fast as he did if it was the Westside or The Gambino’s.
He also ratted on the Florida murder
Good stuff fellas!!
hey nadu, come to brooklyn. bring your friends.

So is Dom implying that Muscarella is the Official Boss today and not Barney?
I think he’s implying that Danny Leo is the Boss
@Anthony Robbins Interesting, could be. Wasn't it reported that Leo became Acting Boss after Chin died? Idk why he wouldn't be Official Boss.
I’ve heard so many names thrown around the last couple years they probably have a panel of high ranking capos running the family. That’s why there hasn’t been any other indictments on them. Or one boss in particular.
The duo we have all been waiting for.
👍💪🇮🇹
Really .not me
They should change the name to the. Basciano family. And if it’s true about taking Mikey nose out on Valentine’s Day would have to be in his 302s.He said he was around the west side. Correct Jeff what you just said. He’s never would have job the job with E M. He’d still be sitting on the bench. Also correct. Bruno brought him around.

Nose got his button in 1996 way chance do you know anyone that was involved in that same ceremony? Patty from Bronx put I’m up right?

Bernstein hit the bong right before this show
Scott yes Massino did a lot of great things for the family ...But he did a lot of bad things to. If he put the right leadership in places the circa 2002/2004 wouldn’t of been what it was.
I thought the guy in prison took the lead, saying hes the boss for life taking the heat.
I've been to Mexico 8 times in the last 12 months, and if you stay away from border towns and don't look to buy drugs, then you should be fine

Vinny was also the biggest earner
You got coconut head with you 👍🏻
Cicale is pronounced Chi-ka-le( le as in Lebanon).
Wasn’t vitale a cop or court cop or something BEFORE running with joey?
He was a corrections officer in 1968 after he got out of the military for less than a year. Then he went on to work for Massinos catering business. That whole narrative of him being a cop is blown way out of proportion.
When Vinny was on the street, Michael Mancuso was his Underboss. I think Dom wouldn’t have be the street boss if he was on the street. There’s a reason Vinny made Michael Mancuso his Underboss and only made Dom a Captain
It’s politics. Vinny couldn’t put his guy from his crew in that spot. The crews from Brooklyn would of been pissed! Plus Dom wasn’t old enough…
@@josephsierzengaIV Mikey nose was from the other crew in the bronx not from Brooklyn.
Vinny didn’t have an underboss. He was just the acting boss. He still had to get things approved by Joe. Mancuso was still a capo.
@@BostonsF1nest no it was testified in court by everyone including Cicale that Mancuso was his Underboss and Anthony Rabito was his Consigliere
@@anthonyrobbins9778 oh ok. Maybe Mancuso was an acting underboss then.
Bronx had 2 captains ? Or 3?
Its Mike. Not Mikey
