Besides the two guys mentioned in this article, Greg Scarpa Jr. is now appearing on podcasts, he’s the son of Greg Scarpa aka “The Grim Reaper”, who had been an FBI informant for over 30 years.

Have you read Murder Machine? It’s all about the DeMeo Crew which these two were part of. Great mob book.

Castellano ordered the wipeout of his own crew for their excess murders

It got passed off to gaspipe in the luchesse family

Testa and Senter got a waiver for clipping Roy

I think killing the cocaine connection in a rip off by Rosenberg who died for it is what brought them down

That brought a threat to the Gambinos

And endless supply of Indians from Latin America seeking revenge

Coincidentally Trumps compassionate release deal for Fed lifers is I think how they got parole

It provided upon review parole for feds previously RUD

Removal upon death

Testa is at Terminal Island in LA area

I wonder why out there?

Family I guess

He did, he was given a blood transfusion from a member of his crew that was a body builder who was using steroids and got aids and then thru the blood he gave Scapa gave him AIDS.

Greg Scarpa Jr doesn’t look all that well today, supposedly he survived cancer and is dealing with the aftermath.

“Even Gotti was scared of them”

if Gotti was afraid of them, they definitely sounded like two very very bad dudes.

I’ve never understood valorizing mob psychopaths. Like with “Godfather,” “the Sopranos” etc. Spray them with all the perfume you want, they still are all just pieces of sh—.

I enjoy mob history

It can be interesting, but not so much fun when you or someone you know takes a .38 from one of those cretins.

When Demeo was still alive, I lived within walking distance of his gemini lounge.

I used to walk past it lots of times. The building stood out to me because of the lack of activity.

I’ve walked past many, many lounges in the city, but there always lots of noise and activity. Lights, music, people talking, people coming and going, people hanging around out front, etc. But not the gemini lounge. In all the times I’ve walked past it, no music or sounds of people talking coming from within. No one entering or exiting or hanging out in front of the building. No foot traffic. Nothing.

I used to wonder if the place was ever open for business at all. Or if the building was abandoned. It didn’t look abandoned. The outside of the building seemed to be kept clean and well maintained.

It wasnt until years later when I read the book “murder machine” did I learn why that place never had any visible activity and what really went on inside its walls.

I personally heard luchesse made men say just that with my own now much larger at 66 ears lol

The mob has hitters who follow orders and those who like it

11 murders? What does is take to get a real life sentence around here that means you die in prison?
