Capeci on How Kasman Supposedly Saved the Gangland Writer's Life

By Ed Scarpo
Turncoat Lewis Kasman got about
$144,000 a year to betray ex-pal
John (Junior) Gotti, the FBI said.

Lewis Kasman -- remember him? -- says he saved my life so I shouldn't write bad things about him. For all I know, he may be right. So, in that spirit, I will take things down a notch and just report that the self-described "adopted son" of the late John Gotti is back, six months after he quietly slithered out of town free as a bird after double crossing Gotti and the feds, writes Jerry Capeci on the Huffingtonpost.com.

    The opperative word is " supposedly" What tjis piece says to me is a journalist has learned how deep in the muck his government will go for a witness. Kasman lies when he says Hello in the morning. Gotti was not an adoptive father, rather a powerful mark, exploited by this piece of garbage con man to his own end. Abeeted by two factors, Gotti;s vanity and his stupidity. Every time a U S Attorney agrees to release this type of scum into society without proper punishment they diminish our country as one governed by laws.

    Kasman Was they "adopted son" of Gotti -- Kasman had the Father son relationship that his own son NEVER had! Thats a fact! Jr. was outside LOOKING in.... Kasman's deal with the FEDS he was never to testify against Jr. Gotti -- Thats a fact! Kasman saved the life of Jerry Capeci on two (2) ocassions and that of a Federal Warden....

The Bonanno Boss Who Tried To Take Over Montreal And Was Slain On Thanksgiving

You know what today is, right? One of the only Thursdays you won't find a new Gang Land News column because J.C. takes Thanksgiving off....  Montagna beside the Assomption River after shooting.   Well,  Gang Land more than earned a Thursday off when it reported last week  that Anthony (Gaspipe) Casso⸺the former Luchese crime family underboss serving the life sentence slapped on him in 1998 for 14 of the more than 30 murders he admitted to⸺had his attorneys file a longshot motion seeking a compassionate release from prison. Casso, 78, whom we recently profiled , is seeking to use the First Step Act of 2018, which allows certain elderly and sick inmates serving life sentences to win release for "extraordinary and compelling reasons." Casso's lawyers asked Brooklyn Federal Judge Frederic Block to reduce Casso's prison term to "time served" and allow him to spend what life he has left "under home confinement." So far, Block ignored a request to

Hoodwinked: Restaurateur on Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares Was a Mobster

By Ed Scarpo

Peter (Peter Pasta) Pellegrino, formerly of the Babylon, New York restaurant Peter’s Italian Restaurant, really is -- or was -- a gangster. Gordon gives a pep talk. Peter is ready for action..... The once-promising Bonanno crime family member who appeared in Kitchen Nightmares now calls himself a brokester . And the Bonanno crime family, with which he was once affiliated has disowned him. So has the rest of New York's Cosa Nostra, according to FBI documents and Peter Pasta himself. But before all that he appeared on an episode of Kitchen Nightmares in which he acted very much like the mobster he allegedly was trying to become around the time of filming. (See Peter's Italian Restaurant menu here .) Back then Peter Pasta was an up-and-coming Bonanno associate who "earned" $15 grand a week from bookmaking. At the time, he also owned two boats that he'd park in a pricey nearby Babylon harbor called Great South Bay. Gang Land News's Je

Heartbroken Colombo Capo Couldn't Let Go—And Got Himself And His Crew Indicted

By Ed Scarpo

Does the old saying "All's fair in love and war" still apply when the romance in question involves a wiseguy? Birthday boy: Joey Amato, Colombo capo. Picture courtesy of Sitdown News blog... While we can’t definitively answer that question, we can tell you about one particular wiseguy who turned the game of love into a war that he sought to win using decidedly unfair means—and in the process got himself, his crew, and others indicted. It  all began (ended, technically, but for our purposes, we'll stick with began) in October 2019 when three indictments were unsealed in Federal court in Brooklyn  charging 20 defendants  (of which 11 were members and associates of the Colombo family) with racketeering, extortion, loansharking, stalking, attempted sports bribery, and related offenses.  Among those charged were Joseph Amato, an alleged captain; Daniel Capaldo and Thomas Scorcia, alleged soldiers; and Joseph Amato, Jr. and Anthony Silvestro, alleged associates. This case

Sammy The Bull Rewrites Mafia History?

The New York Daily News recently interviewed former Gambino underboss Salvatore (Sammy the Bull) Gravano, who talks about social media and New York mob history.... And broth(?) Salvatore (Sammy the Bull) Gravano Gravano, who is 75 and has spent 22 years of his life in prison, told the Daily News that he has returned to ... social media.... (We honestly didn't know he had left.) Gravano is now posting on Instagram and Facebook , but he also finds time to quaff broth brought to him by a neighbor in the sleepy Arizona town where the Bull now resides.  “I got a neighbor, and she comes over and she knocks. I open the door, and she’s giving me broth. I said, ‘What’s this?’ She says, ‘I know you’re living alone, and I don’t know if you’re eating right.’ So she gives me the broth.” Back in 1976, Carlo Gambino give him the gun, the knife—and more importantly, a button in the Gambino crime family—and Gravano was off to the races... He embraced mob life with a deep and abiding passion for d
