      I like Chickie but you should have interviewed Anthony Arillotta who was the capo in Springfield after Bruno died. Arillotta was a powerhouse. Rich and dangerous. He was made in NYC too.

      Please come to Vero Beach, Fl at Riverside Theater or Melbourne, Fl civic center. The Stress Factory is much like Riverside Theater.
      I'm originally from where Chicky is from. My paternal side was in part before Chicky was. Small world when i saw him on Ian's. So i can't wait for to watch this one too.
      Much love and respect for you. Love this podcast, longtime follower.

      I agree, as soon I saw that it rubbed me the right way. Honestly I think he did it before in the interview and didn't apologize, and idk why he would apologize anyways. But clearly in his own mind he's got his rules or morals or lines of respect and he holds himself to a standard where if he crosses it he will correct it on his own, even if it makes him "smaller" or like submitting or apologizing to someone who is not necessarily above you actually makes you stand taller or be a bigger man

    • @s70rk
      @s70rk ปีที่แล้ว

      What do you mean decline? The entire US government is mafia run, nowadays. Granted, it's not the Italian one, it has different ancestry. Same ancestry as the people running Hollywood. Coincidentally, most Hollywood movies portray the mafia as purely Italian, that helps to obfuscate the true nature and history of US organized crime.

      government can never make a deal with someone when he decides to to flip. it's a huge fallacy. they don't get to pick the terms or your cooperation. it is 100% up to the judge to decide how much time they get. the FBI comes goes to bat for for and tries to get the least amount of time possible but the Judge has the authority to say no and still give the person 50 years. that's never how it happens though because it would discourage people in the the future for flipped but the FBI can 100% not make a deal for 2,,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, years etc. it's all up to the judges discretion.

    Can you even fathom that I'm still alive I'm in Connecticut I don't have anything to do with anything except for my past indictments but now that I'm older and have also learned that being a product of your environment does not always work but when you are growing up you can't actually see it because it's your actual everyday lifestyle that you were raised from birth nobody can ever get it especially in New York City everything is congested everything is together you can't go down the street without seeing a hundred of the people that you see every day of your life and have always seen every day of your life year after year after year Growing Up On Mulberry Street you have to really really remember that everything was just normal back then and it always was that's why 2024 it's over because the loyalty and honor is gone but I love all the stories that were able to witness from real life guys that are still alive like🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤ I love you chicky

    I'll be honest, when you 1st started podcast, I fealt you were glorifying your exploits in Columbia.
    I am Canadian who went on vacation in Columbia in 91. Got immersed in cocaine world. Partied with dealers, pulled over by police at 4am on beach and bribed them, ended up with police officers badge, and so on.
    Was actually asked to stay and deal cocaine to tourists, and provided house/car/stipend. I didn't stay, but can relate to some of your stories.
    I like new format with guests, and think you will go far with eclectic guests you have. I for one, will keep watching with interest, Scott.

      You were not partying with any dealers. If you thought you were than your sorely mistaken. No true cocaine dealer is going from trafficking coke to partying with a Canadian and then asking him to be part of their cartel ruled world. Sounds like you were inches from being set-up and kidnapped for ransom lol. Good decision to go home. Man infiltrates 100 yr old cartel organization while on vacation in Colombia and is asked to work for them….every part of this post makes no sense, is a lie, or proves your one lucky Canadian that didn’t know where the hell he was at or what the hell was going on… this made me laugh lol

      Right💯 most of the Rackets the Mob had, The Goverment took over/Legalized Numbers(Lotto), Drugs(Weed Legalized), Loan's(Personal Loan Office's) Etc. what's funny is if someone lends someone 25K & doesn't Pay & you have to Lean on them and apply pressure you get Pinched for Extortion/Threat's but yet the Bank's do it just in a more formal sense 'Sending you Distressing letters "You have X amount of time to pay back Loan or Home, Car, Collertal Put up will be Taken" Goverment is more ruthless at least with Mob Know where stand.
