GREG SCARPA SCARED ! - Why did the GRIM REAPER fear for his life in 1973 ?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 жов 2023
- Gregory Scarpa was a Colombo Crime Family Mobster who was an FBI informant for 30 years. But his lengthy Mafia career was nearly cut short in 1973 when Charlie Moose Panarella confronted him about working with the authorities.
This American Mafia Video takes a look at Mafia History and explores the early career of Greg Scarpa and the events around his mob colleagues being suspicious of him in the early 1970's.
This Mafia documentary features Cosa Nostra mobsters such as Neil Dellacroce, Carmine Persico, Carlo Gambino, Funzi Tieri, Charles Panarella, Joe Colombo, Crazy Joe Gallo, Larry Gallo, Joe Profaci, Vito Genovese and many more
Scarpa looks like a different guy in every picture of him. It's bizarre.
Scarpa would go on year long benders of hard boozing and got bloated, then in the later 70’s/80’s he was a powder cocaine user and Valium popper!
Similar to Roy DeMao… when you have secrets and living at minimum 3-4 different lives stress and anxiety can do crazy things to you physically….
Just think of the mental state he must have been in daily, with the FBI Persico faction, Charlie Moose and unmentioned Sonny Franzese all coming at you for multiple reasons… it was Scarpa who ratted Sonny out due to his jealousy and relationship Sonny had with Joe Columbo and then later Carmine Persico.
I think it’s normal, as time went on, his health got worse (probably without him knowing, and even if he knew, probably didn’t give a shit), he got thinner and thinner.
@@antoinesilva1527 well that was from the last year 6months of his life when he had full blown AIDS from a blood transfusion…..
He didn’t want the hospitals blood bc their ‘stock’ might contain some blood that came from an African American so he got his blood from all the guys in his crew who had the same blood type…
One of the guys was a needle steroid user and gave Greg tainted blood!
@@antoinesilva1527yes he had HIV I believe
Greg Scarpa Sr. is probably one of the most interesting mafioso Ive ever heard about. Definitely one of my top favorites. Absolutely FEARLESS! I mean, to have someone like Carlie Moose question you about being an informant, and not either leaving the country, or going into witness protection, shows the sheer balls the guy had. He wasn't just some knuckle dragger, the man was a criminal mastermind. Had the FBI look out for him on heists, and hits. He used them to manipulate the game however he sees fit. Yes he was an informant, but I feel like he used them just as much as they used him. The book Deal With The Devil explains it perfectly. He was a true Machiavellian.
Well thought
I agree 100%, couldn't have said it better, the FBI gave him protection from prison and tools to be successful and the Mafia gave him everything else
No not fearless. RATS are the biggest cowards of all.
@@FrithonaHrududu02127😮 ooh you so loyal criminal by-the-book. The families are missing a guy like you.
Of course you would die or rot in jail for another men rather than trying to save your ass.
Its so beautiful the loyalty between thugs, more beautiful than family love.?
How about almost all of them are cowards? They are in packs and most would kill even their mothers if the boss told them to.
@@FrithonaHrududu02127not a classic Rat. This guy isn’t Sammy gravano. Sammy the bullshitter sold out to save himself prison time. Greg Scarpa became a rat not even because he wanted to stay out of prison exactly. He wanted to use the FBI to earn millions and kill more conventional rats.
This adds weight to Larry Mazza's claim that the Persico's had suspected Scarpa as an informant for decades.
Definitely
Persico probably thought that his value outweigh the (extremely credible) suspicions.
It was always amazing to me that Scarpa got away with it for long as he did. There were other mobsters who were killed pretty quickly after being suspected of being informants, And they weren't even guilty.. The Persicos knew Scarpa was bad but still, he managed to survive. Greg Scarpa was an enigma..he was outdoing what what many informants were doing today back then! Always great information OC and have a great weekend my man.
One thing's for sure, and I've said this before, anyone in that life can be taken out. Greg Scarpa, Charlie Panarella etc etc. We talk about how vicious some of these guys like them are, but as history has borne out, none of them are immune from being killed. On another note specific to Scarpa's role as a CI, Larry Mazza has claimed that both Carmine Persico and his son Allie Boy both knew for at least 20 years that Scarpa was bad. If that is true, then the question immediately becomes, "why did they let it go for so long?" Remember, it's also recently been claimed that Carmine Persico was listed as a CI back in 1971. Michael Franzese has addressed that himself. I have a theory that the Feds have been turning a blind eye even to murders in that life so long as they're murdering each other. Likely been going on for far longer than we are currently aware of.
All good besides the persico myth. It was an error on the paperwork. You really think he would have done 30 plus years in prison until he died if he was an informant
@@NiktheEnglishGreekCypriot I never said I thought he was. I merely mentioned what has been reported and the fact that Michael Franzese spoke about it.
Yes, if Anastasia and Galante can be taken out, then anyone can be taken out.
But Michael states that Persico isn’t a Rat. He stated that in his channel numerous times. Michael never said he knew or heard Persico was a CI until a “rumor” came out which he spoke off .
@@bigbromcgee7118 I think you're misunderstanding me. I did not say Michael claimed Persico was a CI. He did just the opposite. Taken altogether, this is how rumors begin. Same thing back then, only in their cases, it can get you killed.
Amazing that Scarpa dodged all the accusations & suspitions of his "co-workers". Well researched. Thanks for all you do.
Part of the deal is that the FBI gave him a lot of money to throw around as a shark. Enough, in fact, that he was known to charge a lower vig to help other sharks. All so that the Bureau had a very good idea of who was heavily in debt to whom to figure out how to get them to cooperate.
According to Larry mazza. Carmine persico son told him in jail that he and his father knew for 20 years so since 1970s. Greg was given every hit by carmine
Always look forward to some Saturday morning OCShortz. As always, thanks pal and keep up the good work. You rock!!

Great show as always bro ❤
Another exellent video bro uve been dropping consistently great videos!
Very kind of you to say. Thank you for your support and kind words.
Very interesting podcast. How he survived all those years is a miracle.
Not when you look at the body count, he was amassing. He was good at killing and I am sure at some point he realized, the more guys he smoked, the more feared he would be, the less likely anyone one would have the balls to challenge him. Scarpa, Luciano, Castellano all flirted with the feds. And, at some point how can you not, no matter how big you think you are, you can't be more powerful the American Government. A fact John Gotti never understood. Men like Scarpa, let you know that the term "rat' really is more of an indictment of your lack of power, within the organization, than the status of your loyalty. Really powerful guys have their cake and eat it too.
A fact JohnGotti never understood “????😂😂😂 ummm Gotti actually won in federal court, I guess he should’ve pled guilty and went off to do life in prison, so he didn’t upset the federal government 🤷♂️
@@southie3177 Gotti actually won!? Won what exactly!???
Thanks for the content bruv!
Thank you for watching
That newspaper write up at the end said Carmine Sessa was told by Gaspipe Casso from his Crystsl Ball about Scarpa being an informant
That's what he called his "Mafia Cops" on his payroll, Eppilito and Caracappa they gave him info and killed many ppl for him.. two sides of the same coin, they just had a badge and wore a uniform.. imo.
I saw that too. If only we could get the rest of the story.
Excellent material! Keep up the good work.
Thank you Michael.

Another grand slam of a podcast O.C.! Well done 👍.
Thank you for your support Doug. Enjoy your weekend.
Wasn’t it Scarpa who murdered that young woman in Brooklyn bar/social club for being suspected of working with the FBI on behalf of Allie Boy Persico? It turned out she only made a comment the FBI agent was cute and she was killed for it. What a move by Scarpa considering he was working with the Feds. Great upload James, thanks!
Mary Bari
this also is a smart but vicious move on Scarpa’s part. if anybody in his circle gets too intimate with the feds, his risk of accidental exposure will be dramatically higher, which is more than he could or would take
edit: typo
@@user-pn4fy7eb2n yes, and it’s more evil than a straightforward killing!
Thank you for sharing
Great vid mate 👍 Scarpa was absolutely off his nut , could you imagine getting away with what he did for so long . I’m sure I seen a thing where his daughter was saying that he wasn’t a bad person just misunderstood or some shit like that . She wasn’t convincing me 😂
Such a dope topic for the video bro!
Thank you.
@@OCSHORTZ np big fan!
Another great video. Scarpas life story should be made into a movie.
Thank you Lee
Great video James. My only beef is that it wasn’t longer. It cool to learn some new info on Scarpa instead of the same recycled talking points.
There was always a story floating around that Scarpa traveled to Mississippi to get information about the three missing civil rights activists . The story goes that Scarpa pistol whipped a KKK member and found out where the victims were buried. All done with the backing of the FBI but kept under wraps. This was the "Mississippi Burning" film
I believe that story to be true. If the kkk guy didn't tell Scarpa where the bodies were he was gonna cut off his balls. At least that's the version I've heard many times in books , etc. ✌
Seems plausible. Scarpa did have a thing going with the FBI. And there was tremendous pressure to solve this case.@@jrcenteno1896
Scarpa did “Unspeakable things” to them
Its a fake story
Difficult to believe that the FBI diddin have in-house heavy lifters in Mississippi
It’s amazing the stuff you Mob Historians can dig up now… wow… yourself and Jeff are the top Non-Mob Affiliated channels…
(I get that the mob guys can’t really talk about stuff that isn’t on the record with the government, so it’s fantastic having you guys to Read Between The Lines, and put a presentation.) Thank you
You have better Information and stories.. Than the so called Tel mobsters on UA-cam
And great editing. You should have one million subscribers. You are awesome 👍
That is very kind of you to say Joe. Thank you for your support. I hope you have had a good weekend.
I only knew Gregory Scarpa by sight... and I would see him walking in Anthony spero Club on Bath Avenue. And a lot of heavy hitters hangout in that club... like for instance Frankie DeCicco Carmine galante Paulie Zack gas-pipe casso Christy tic todo Tommy karate.. so these Wise Guys never went down because of Gregory Scarpa.... so Gregory Scarpa picked and choose who he informed on.. great story again o.c. nobody tells them better than you.. I hope you get 1 million subscribers
In his 302s. He said Tommy Karate was "a crazy , and deals drugs with Lino ,and should Never have been made " .. 😅😅 Greg was Nuts. I found it quite funny how he had the nerve to call ANYONE, "a crazy" ...
@@NicoleAC-PhD you are 100% correct
@@NicoleAC-PhD I hung around Billy bright not on a day-to-day basis but he was a great guy and a good friend.. Billy bright got caught in the web of Tommy karate.. and I know Billy bright didn't want to hang around Tommy karate no more.. I remember when I used to go to Billy's house Billy would tell me did you see Tommy did you see Tommy? And I told Billy no I haven't seen him.. then Billy would get in his Corvette and take off.. Billy would have been alive today if he didn't hang around that lunatic
My father was an “fbi informant “ he used innocent people as he said to keep the fbi hanging on. This went on for a good 20 years. They eventually figured out what he was doing. He eventually got caught and put in prison where he died . I sometimes wonder what happened to the poor souls who where incarcerated falsely because of his actions . I am truly sorry for my father’s sins .
Great one James. Man that Panarella really put the fear of God in other mobsters. Says something about the guy that he intimidated killers.
your right even as an old man the genovese family were weary of him he basically told them to go f themselves ocshorts did a good video about it. he was one of the most feared guys in nyc for decades. ua-cam.com/video/qtaM9pEQe_Y/v-deo.html

Top content. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Late to the party but thoroughly enjoyed this one mate so thanks. Get subbing guys
Thank you Tim. Glad you enjoyed it.
Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada. Nothing says Happy Holidays like a Grim Reaper story! 🦃
Nice story James. It's funny how a guy like Scarpa, known for so many killings had to look over HIS shoulder at times and that he could be easily whacked just like his numerous victims. I had heard a story told by Sammy the Bull that in one case (If I recall the story correctly) Scarpa had behaved badly in a Gambino Family connected Bar-Nightclub and that his actions were serious enough that it could have been denmanded by the Gambino that Scarps be whacked, Sammy mentioned that Scarpa was given a pass..quite possibly at the recommendation of Sammy himself. That is from a short video by Sammy which you can look up. Well..again.....this was a nice video James!! I hope you have a Great Weekend!! Cheers Mate!!🍺🍷🍾!
OC:
He ( Scarpa) was ALSO a KEY figure in the Murders in ( I believe) Mississippi. It's interesting how the FBI used him in that case.
AGAIN, GREAT HISTORICAL CONTENT, Thank you for your EXCELLENT RESEARCH!
Nice man. Love the sat morning show. Always super on point.

And big shout out to Larry Mazza for being the filling in the Greg Scarpa and Linda sandwich!😂😂
That’s crazy how long he got away with be an informant. Thank u.
Scarpa was “ terrified “ of Moose. Oh and confined spaces. Terrified 😂
🫶🏾🫶🏾 I wonder what made him turn into an informant? I can understand why they didn’t believe that he was a informant because he was deranged and didn’t care about taking a life. Once again another great story.
OC SHORTZ Thank you for your work. Bona fortuna to you !
Thank you Luca. Have a good weekend
Good one
Do one on all the stories about Costello and Hoover. I think a lot of those top level mobsters had meetings with Hoover back in the day. It was the smart thing to do.
I wouldn't doubt it, if the fbi had a meeting with the cali gang leaders too.
Rumor has it Joey Catelupa had Scarpa pegged, after a sociable game of pinochle…but he got a little diarrhea in his paints before Joe Columbo showed up at the Real Estate Office that day!
Great upload
Thank you
I wonder why Panarella didn't reveal his source! Everything about Scarpa would of turned out different if Charlie revealed his source! Once again thanks for all the leg work! 👍🏽
Glad you enjoyed it Lee. Have a good weekend.
This guy's movie is going to be incredible
Greg Scarpa is an endlessly fascinating character, imho. Beginning with his dealings with Larry Mazza to his false bravado with 60 MInutes, he was always who he is. Thank you for this very interesting episode in Scarpa's life and times.
“Who he is?” Do you mean garbage? That’s all he was. A complete coward! Dangerous with a gun or gang, however…..
Total genius.
I think Scarpa’s viscousness helped him out with the Colombo’s. Hard to imagine a murdering psychopath could be an informant.
They didn't know how far the FBI would go back then to keep an informant under cover.
This was awesome. The man played both sides of the fence in a dangerous manner.
It's easy when you have the fbi behind you.
This was some great insight OC cus a lot of us had the assumption jus nobody knew , so this is interesting that they were investigating it my thoughts are maybe another informant outed scarpa to try to keep himself off radar to . Also interesting to know that he was doing this before Valachi ! Larry Mazza stated that Carmine persico knew and his son n they let it slide for some reason he’s unsure of
Wow...never seen a picture of him so young.. Matt NYC
Great fucking video James. Are these documents from the 2nd Clemente Scarpa files that we have?
Scarpa was the guy that found the bodies of 3 missing civil rights workers that went missing in Mississippi who were killed by KKK. They should make a movie about this man
Mississippi burning
@CerretaniOutdoorsLLC yes I saw that movie but there's no mention of him
That’s cause the Gov doesn’t want to admit having to use the syndicate to get results
If Panarella came up to me with those accusations I'd crap myself. And it's baffling Scarpa would flirt with getting caught again especially after being transferred to Charlie Moose's crew years later.
Nice video! It is important to note that, although Scarpa was an informant, several members suspected that he was a rat and stayed far away from him. The Persico's (brothers, Panarella, Sally and Alphonse D'ambrosio and Sally's close friends and crew, including Tommy Ocera, Freddy Deluchia and others. While Scarpa's information on the hierarchy and other well known subjects may be significant, there was a lot that others kept away from him because of this.
Spot on!
I don’t understand though. Informants are not supposed to be tolerated. There must have been other a reason/s why he wasn’t taken out
I heard the snake persico was in on the sceme!
@@fulaan1 Joe Colombo's connections were as strong and deep as any, and he was a smart man. Making a move on a fellow family member is one thing; For him to make a move on a highly beneficial active informant is entirely different, however, in my opinion.
Keep up the good work OC baby!
Wow 😳 Scarpa was one lucky SOB, he was bad, but he gotten away with it, good video OC
We"ve all heard many accounts of the life and times of one Greg Scarpa and really leaves me to ponder, what makes this guy tick? I mean seriously it's mind blowing. He even knowingly let Larry Mazza have a affair with his wife at least according to Mazza. What a guy! Great video as always James. Thank you and have a great weekend mate.
Glad you enjoyed it, enjoy your weekend too
Good morning , Tim. You're right about Scarpa. I could never figure out how he could allow Mazza to sleep with his wife. The guy's a ball of confusion...
You have a good weekend too , Tim ! 👍Go Phillies !😂
I read that book on him - and i’m under the impression that she was like his 2nd wife. Not the original mother of his children, whom he was still with
Because mazza and Scarpa were Bi
@@CRidahz 😂🤣🤣
This is gold
Persico and scarpa having bad blood going back so long makes me think the theory of him starting the third Colombo with delvecchio’s backing holds weight
I've heard that Carmine Persico was aware of Scarpa's status as an informant, as was Persico's son (and successor). I don't know why Greg was not X'd, but I guess Greg proved more beneficial to the family than costly. I must assume that the Persico's and Scarpa had some sort of understanding. Scarpa could have easily been killed at any time despite his deadly nature. He was not killed.
Greg Scarpa was a good earner. He was very capable at performing "work." And he was adept at training mafiosi who could work AND earn. But, I have to believe he was providing the Persicos highly-valued information.
I also subscribe to the theory that the Persico's may have known. Thank you for sharing your thoughts Richard.
Heck of a situation to be in. He was a scary looking individual even when he didn't have that scowl on his face.
Did you do one on his involvement with the Mississippi burning case? 👍🍻
Not yet William. Glad you enjoyed the video
@@OCSHORTZye that would be a good one to hear about his involvement in the Mississippi burning case, I’ve always heard he was supposedly had something to do with it, but never seen any documentary/ videos of him involved. So would love if you have anything James 🙏
@@OCSHORTZ Always lookin foward to'em. Always a thumbs up.
I recently read his sons book. Very ,very good read... Scarpa was so connected, cunning, 😨 just unimaginative how he lasted so long. He paid off a dr. To give a bad physical on his son so he couldn't serve in the military, he beat up a teenage boy who smoked weed with little Linda, had a hand in killing Gus Farace ,who was his nephew, his sisters' son! Because he fckd up and killed a DEA agent and was causing too much heat! .. So much more sht! He lived on the edge,for a long long fckn time.. Great work 💡 🥂
This man wasn’t scared of much the other way around
The great book "Deal With The Devil" on Scarpa/DeVecchio is a must read for mafia buffs. It should be a movie but the FBI will never let it happen.
I would but snitches ain't worth reading about as you don't know what's genuine.
@@paulkitchen1846ugh people like you are why I'm half ashamed of being a mob enthusiast..
because you always get lumped together with people like you:
wannabe tough guys who thinks the mob was "cool" more than interesting, who call guys "rats" when they themselves would give their own mothers up if they faced just 6 months in prison...
you're giving the rest of us a bad name.
I will look out for that book 👍
Agree with the other guy, what a strange strange man
I swear if he wasnt a rat he would be the most feared and respected mobster in the history of Cosa nostra
Nah.... that's gotta be Niel Delacroce.
@@jeremyweems4916. Whoa WELL SAID SIR. I agree. N Dell was respected and feared .where as Scarpa was feared as a hot head. Now we realize his temper was used to cover up his informer status . Cause nobody that nuts would be looked upon as a rat .!!
If he wasn't a rat he wouldn't t have gotten so far, as far as most feared goes I'd have to say Albert Anastasia his nicknames were The Earthquake, The One-Man Army, Mad Hatter, and Lord High Executioner. I mean they're some pretty serious nicknames! Plus he was quite calculated and calm, scarpa was an out and out nutjob, but Ive heard from several sources that Mr Neil had a stare like a great white. A truly scary man too.
IMO, “there’s levels to this thing.” There are racketeers, such great earners that they’re not “risked” by giving them a contract to perform any rough stuff. Then you have the “balanced” ones that are equally capable of generating money and cracking heads as needed. And then you have the stone cold killers, actually better at whacking guys out than making money. Michael Franzese IMO is a great example of the first group. Sammy Gravano, a great example of the second. As for the third, put Greg Scarpa in there with Roy DeMeo, Tommy Pitera, Albert Anastasia and Mad Sam DeStefano…my possibly counterfeit two cents, anyway.
Roy and Greg were both huge money makers. Roy was running the largest auto theft racket in all of New York, while also making money from porn, CP and drugs and Greg was into credit card fraud, large scale burglaries and robberies as well as drugs. I don't think Sammy was a bigger money maker than Roy.
@7:05 The sit-down was a test to see if he’d actually show up, not an informant, or run, if an informant?
I thought that was self explanatory
Great story

@@OCSHORTZ fact

@@southie3177 I think he is referring to playing both sides for so long.
Man it would be great to get Charlie mooses reaction after that came out, is he still alive?
bravo! animo!!
Everyone slept with Linda scarpo 😂
This best part is Vincent was right about scarpa
Panarella looks like Harland Williams😅
Charles has such a warm and jovial appearance. Interesting that he was such a hard mfer.
Scarpa´s hair pieces throughout the 70´s and 80´s alone were a crime in themselves.
In an interview with Larry Mazza, he said Carmine Persico knew Scarpa was an informant for 20 years. I believe this to be true. Scarpa was feeding selected information that would harm low-level members of the Columbo family but would protect Carmine Persico and his family. Scarpa was as devious as he was vicious.
The only dude that can get away with calling his club the wimpy boys….
I somehow missed this one when it came out. Panarella was a genuinely scary guy and no doubt Scarpa was worried. Someone online put me onto some of the FBI docs on Scarpa and I've been reading them. There were 2 Colombo made guys who disappeared and presumably killed in late 1969 that Scarpa reported to the FBI about. Salvatore D'Ambrosio and Freddie "Red" Delucia. Reading that section, I caught a lie by Scarpa to the FBI about those cases. Scarpa told the FBI that the 2 Colombo guys were likely killed because they had done unsanctioned hits on 2 Bonanno guys, Frankie Mari and Mike Adamo. That as absolutely not true. Mari and Adamo were killed by the Bonanno's themselves because they were trying to remove Sciacca as boss. That lie by Scarpa makes me wonder if he was involved in killing D'Ambrosio and Delucia at Joe Colombo's behest. I say this because in a previous document dated 1/6/1969, Scarpa had told the FBI that Joe Colombo had summoned him regarding 2 Colombo members(names redacted) who had apparently gone on a rampage of sorts and murdered 3 non Mafia related people in November 1968 including a young soldier returned home from Vietnam. The soldier's father was friends with Genovese Capo Toddo Marino and wanted vengeance. It was obvious to me the redacted names were in fact likely D'Ambrosio and Delucia. Scarpa told FBI in January '69 that Colombo said "they must be killed" and thought Colombo might call on him to do the job. So a year later Scarpa lies in telling the FBI that they were taken out for killing Mari and Adamo? That alone leads me to believe he was covering for his involvement in their disappearance and murder. Sorry for the long post but when I read what Scarpa told the FBI in early 1970, I referred back to what he had said in Jan 6 1969 report to them and realized he was lying in 1970. So far as I know, the murders of D'Ambrosio and Delucia were never solved.
Greg Scarpa actually looks like actor Al letteri who played The Turk in the first Godfather in one of his earlier photos. One scary dude second only to gas pipe😢😮😢
I just can’t believe between Old Man Profaci, Joe Columbo, Carmine Persico, Sonny Franzese and even the pit-bull Charlie ‘Moose’ didn’t eventually catch on to Scarpa’s game…. Even just with the simple fact Scarpa wasn’t even a Captain he would rip and kill without following LCN Protocol….
It’s common knowledge he was behind Sonny getting violated every time he got out!
I think if Carmine was actually on the Streets along with Sonny Scarpa prob couldn’t have operated the way he did…💯
Maybe that's why the FBI was so hellbent on putting Franzese away.
@@wailnshred indeed… and Scarpa was the guy feeding them the information to do so.
Sonny was a huge target for the FBI and Scarpa knew that better than anyone
Carmine Persico knew. Greg sons became a captain before his dad because they knew Greg was a informant that's why they gave Greg every hit... because they knew he could get away with it
@@ambrizfer7898 there likely is some truth to that…
Persico being locked up with Sonny on the streets in the 70’s/80’s could of led to regime change, so I think Persico giving Scarpa a pass to a degree helped solidify his hold on the Borgata💯
@josephsierzengaIV according to Larry mazza he knew he was going to cooperate with the government after carmine persico son told him that he and his father knew about Greg for 20 years so early 1970s. Greg made a death bed statement that got carmines son out of prison
Thanks for watching
Thank you for watching
Hello great videos bro keep them rolling as someone who has had family on my dad's side and growing up in Atlantic City New jersey with the worst God father Nicky scarfo and the Philly mob my uncle and his bros say scarpa was a rat and got everything he deserved
Its amazing how you turn a bland FBI report into a whole story that makes sense
Thank you. Very kind of you to say.
They should do a movie about scarpa. I think he played the FBI to whole time.
Definitely a great subject for the movie treatment.
That’s why they won’t make a movie . Embarrassing
