The FBI probably caught him doing something illegal and gave him a choice... that’s my guess.

I wonder why it’s coming out now... that’s odd. Anyone know?

The website said that he agreed to wear a wire tap during conversations with Mob bosses, including leading members of the Genovese crime family, the largest and most feared Mafia outfit in the United States.

People don't willingly wear a wire into a mob hangout... my guess is the FBI had something big on him... That said, you're right - no one's as popular in a black community as a royal snitch. I suspect old Sharpton's going to be moving into an all white neighborhood soon. Or changing his name...

The music industry knew him to be a shakedown hustler who'd threaten to protest their "racism" unless he got a check.

One of the acts he was upset about was Michael Jackson's tour not employing enough black people.

The information is buried in the book Stiffed.

If good ol’ Al put a few high level members of the Genovese family in jail, he is going to need a lot more than a white neighborhood to save his sorry ass.

Hope he gets to shake hands with Jimmy Hoffa in the near future.

Couldn’t happen to nicer guy.

If this is true, I wish the mob would have done their job we would not be hearing from this fat mouth.


Vengeance delayed is still vengeance...Fat Al may need an eraser.

Amongst being a race baiter intent on taking money from his folks, now we can include being a ratty snitch. That really shouldn’t go well with the folks in Harlem.

Oh my... Did someone just paint a big bull’s eye on Sharpton’s back?

A Genovese soldier said “Sharpton didn’t have a choice.”

If you’ve never seen the documentary with Mikey Franzese, watch it if you get the chance. He gives some real insight into the mob.

“Piano wire in his future?”

They’re throwing him under the bus, the question is why now? Has he outlived his usefulness? Does he know to much? They don’t usually do this to their loyalists.

Yep. I hope he gets the same ‘3 days long to die’ number that juice collector Action Jackson ended up with from his former pals in the Chicago Outfit. It was NOT healthy to screw with Sam G. and The Big Tuna in Chi-Town!

Cue Goodfella quotes...

considering Al's girlfriend, I'm thinking more like Joe Dirt quotes.
