Ойын-сауық

Gene Borrello was part of the last generation of NYC’s wild wise guys. He joined the Bonnano Crime Family at a young age and quickly got close with the family’s boss. His reputation of violence and brutality made him a name that everyone in the city feared. After being indicted on RICO charges he eventually flipped on his former crime associates and entered witness protection. He’s here to tell us all about the final days of the mob as the world knew it!

    Psychedelics saved me from years of uncontrollable depression, anxiety, smoking, and illicit pills addiction.

    I wish they were readily available in my place. 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.

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. This guy has none .

Then got himself in trouble and told on all them dudes to save his own ass. Now he’s making the rounds like he’s Don Corleone or something. Allot like that jamoke west Watson or whatever he’s called.

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.

    It might have been different back then but these days it’s not really that easy to sell high end stolen watches because the companies track the serial numbers and if you don’t have the papers with them, then they only sell for like 30% of their real value.

Some of them ratted. And they speak on Things that have already been paid for legally. I dont give a shit. Its good entertainment. Lots of them would do ten to twenty years in jail time, but at least half of them flipped once life sentences were thrown at them. It happened with every style of crime. Every race and ethnicity.
