    I just got out in January from Riverhead Jail in Suffolk County. They got him in the ob-seg unit. It's basically like PC for people who can't go to regular PC. He's in a whole section by himself surrounded by COs and everytime he leaves they got him surrounded by the SERT team. Nobody's getting to him until he goes up north

    Gotta tell ya pal. I’m from the lower east side. Born in 68. Grew up around a lot of these older fellas you talk about in here. Not with them (full disclosure ). Just grew up together and around them. This is one of actually the only channel I’ve come across that is interesting and informative. You ability to just keep running off all this info fluidly takes talent. I’m impressed. I don’t subscribe to anything as I’m a grown man. 54. But I subscribed to this. Hope it helps keep it coming. I enjoy listening to these reports. Brings back a lot of memories and it’s a great way to pass the time traveling , just relaxing etc. my wife complains because she doesn’t like any return to the old days at all if you collar but it’s cool. 😁thanks for your hard work there pal. Bona Fortuna

    I know Cali was considered legitimate by todays standards but no real mobster would get suckered out of their house like that. They would've seen it a mile off, as its 101 stuff.
    Just another example of the mob becoming too domesticated and comfortable.

    The mafia is too weak to do much these days
    That’s why a random 22 year old knocks off the Gambino boss without any issues

      You calling them weak is what makes me stronger. On the money side they’re pumping even more than you can imagine. They still have strong ties to the government. But on the murder side they have to tuck their tail. Can’t have your cake and eat it too. They have to sacrifice some of their old pride to transition into this new age..and they do it well.
