--------
Dominick Cicale discusses the transformation in the mob world triggered by high-profile cooperations, particularly his encounter with notorious mobster Sammy "The Bull" Gravano. Cicale, who once cooperated with authorities and entered the Federal Witness Protection Program, reflects on his experiences and the seismic changes in mob mentalities. Recounting his time in witness protection, Cicale reveals his unexpected camaraderie with Gravano, who was then incarcerated for his involvement in the Arizona ecstasy ring. Cicale's cooperation led to significant repercussions, including life sentences without parole for several mobsters. He admits his actions stemmed from perceived betrayals and a stark absence of mob loyalty. Highlighting Gravano’s pivotal role, Cicale notes, “Sammy the Bull opening up the floodgates.” Where once no mob bosses turned state's evidence, Gravano's actions spurred a wave of similar decisions, reshaping organized crime.

Cicale said no excuses for ratting. Some of the other ones should listen up.
He's right, and this is something that often gets mentioned in mafia discussion circles. There had been acting bosses in American Mafia families who had cooperated but Sammy was the highest-ranking member of the NY Mafia to flip at that time. Many other heavyweights followed soon after as it became more psychologically acceptable for guys in NY who'd been raised their entire lives to think of snitches as the lowest of the low to betray all they knew.

Telling on the dead isn’t snitching
When he talks about Terrance ‘gangsta’ and explains that he told on dead guys I think that they should get a pass for telling on dead guys unless of course it then implicates other people that are still alive I mean if it’s me and I know that I’ve got a week to live and it would get my friends out of trouble by telling on me once I’ve died then I would tell them to blame me for everything and I mean everything I would insist that they blamed me for it all I mean what are they going to do to me once I’m dead x
Fuhgettaboutit - Glad
Truth be told. I agree to your statement. The reality though, It’s almost human nature, the will to survive by any means. Which in this case is to rat on all your supposed brothers. I’ve felt and have true brotherhood with my very tight, can count on one hand, day ones. We ain’t no mafia, just regular dudes, who care about the very few, small bonds we have in this life.
probably didn't help when actual bosses started to try and get rat deals, like gaspipe, and Joe Massino

Sammy never heard of Dom Dom was wayyyy after Sammy Ratted, in from Howard Beach grew up with Gene Borrello no one needs this guy.
Kevin weeks also winter hill gang. Na knowing you gave people life has to eat at him everyday no matter what he told.
I don't see a single point why a young man would join any of the five families nowadays, and these few others in the country, which used to be considered the standard that no one snitches, now it's an exception, the family allows snitches to live normally, no one chases them , they just don't come to the old area, when you get a big fine, someone else from the family will take your jobs, and even for ten, fifteen year sentences, they are ready to say anything..
What about the money he made because of the family 😂😂
Say what you want about Dom. He at least tells the truth about what he did.
He didn’t cooperate he ratted

Which other Mob Bosses cooperated after Sammy? And im speaking to administration.. not Capos… I know Massino but other than that who?

You Dominick, and your boss ratted. Gotti , Chin, and Fat Tony were real G's. Also Carmen too.
Vinnie gorgeous the legend 😍
Cap. Mobb Bosses were cooperating in the 1930s and 1940s
Buncha liars 99% that touched a jail cooperated
apparently a lot of those cooperators end up living in florida, and then they all go to each others weddings so they can wear their jewelry and still pretend to be wiseguys..
