      Mancuso (he's in federal jail nmow doing only a 1 year sentence), boss of Bannano family put a total ban on all online (Insta, UA-cam, Snap ... all 100% of it). Two days ago hw imposed a total ban for all active and ex-active mobesters, and it was especially menat for Joey Merlino due to his Sports UA-cam channel. It will be interesting to see what will happen to them who opposes Mancuso, because he's for sure a true psycopath with a huuuge ego not of this world and will no doubt retaliate on those who won't follow an order @@siner2442

    Psychedelics saved me from years of uncontrollable depression, anxiety, smoking, and illicit pills addiction. Imagine carving heavy chains for over a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone. Believe it or not, in a couple of years they'll be all over for treatment of mental health related issues.

      Psilocybin is legal in some states and mushroom therapy is allowed in many states as a legitimate medical treatment. So I believe soon it'll be globally used as a treatment for anxiety, depression, and more.

      Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He's 59 & has many mental health issues plus probably CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone.
      He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD knows if it is common for an obsession with violence.

      Yeah no . I was involved with a gang when I was in high school and committed several petty crimes as well as some not so petty crimes ( putting in work ) as it is probably passed the statute of limitations on the crimes I did commit I still won't comment . But I will tell you I was arrested in 97 for organized crime . When asked for a statement I told them I wasn't saying anything and I want an attorney . And I never did rat .
      This guy gets no respect from me .He is a rat and nothing more .
      He never put in work and he definately isn't a hit man. He is more or less someone associated with the mob . Not a made man .
      Just a rat . So next please.. and my arrest record is public information .so I jave receipts.

After the drugs hit the streets hard most people started falling off no matter how tough and gangster you were it takes the fire out of you.

I mean what else are they gonna say, he was a great guy and everything he says is true? Of course they want to smear him and discredit him. It’s the same thing with Frankie Pasqua, people always say that crap about him too, but he called it out in his interview - he said what do you expect them to say? I put away almost the entire family, of course they hate me and want to tarnish my name. Use your head people.

Some of them ratted. And they speak on Things that have already been paid for legally. I dont give a shit. Its good entertainment.

    He’s lying!! He knows they didn’t rob any black drug dealers.🤔 You can tell by the way he hesitated when he asked him the question. 🤨

    Breaking and entering in Howard Beach. Probably the lower level gangster in the history of your podcast. A simple thief 😂😂😂

      He was on record with Vinny Assaro he was far from a petty thief. You just don’t like him. A simple google search will tell you everything you want to know. Imagine calling a legit street guy with a crazy blood line a petty thief, when you are a nobody behind a keyboard. You must be bored.
