I don't know if this was the case or not. I do know that none of you know the full story. John Alite, with whom I've not spoken to for some time, started talking to me much later than everyone thinks. I wrote a certain story that somehow got his attention. I must say the Gotti-Alite feud raised interest in the Mafia (including this blog) and I believe John Alite is 100% sincere in his anti-bullying efforts. I also tell you that I still stand behind every story on this blog. My sources for many of the stories not favorable to Junior Gotti were never based on Alite's information. Alite ALWAYS went on the record. Anything he gave me, you know it.<br /><br />For instance Alite was never in Valhalla with Junior for the Scores case.<br /><br />Alite was never a source in my Gene Gotti story.<br /><br />In the end I'm alone. I don't have partners with regard to this blog.<br /><br />I may partner on side projects such as ebooks but in the end, I am alone. I am responsible for what is written here.<br /><br />I wish both Johns well.

This guy doesn't care about the youth of today or bullies to be.. He cares about being out there. Having people talk about him. Letting the world know that he walked side by side with the Gottis. Just like he has done devious shit in the past for money, as is he now trying to the same. Just in a legal matter. If he really cared about the kids of the future he would be doing all of this "great work" with out the public eye.. interviews, books, social media, YOU.. etc. Wasn't this a guy who beat his wife while she was terminally ill with cancer? Who abandoned his children and murdered people, all to be noticed by the Gottis? Give me a break. You don't go from being Lucifer to Jesus over night just because you ratted and want to make it seem ok. <br /><br />On the whole Jr. thing .. I'm curious. What do/did you guys expect? It's like those spoiled rich kids. Their father does all the work, earns all of the money, and makes the name, the reputation and then hands it to his kids on a silver platter. They didn't have to work for it so they don't appreciate it. He was spoiled, young and out of control. It wasn't his fault. As far as being a rat is concerned, GIVE ME A FUCKIN' BREAK! The guy faced 4 life sentences. He was treated like shit because of who he was. Can you imagine the pressure he was under? He may be John Gottis son but he's still a human being. 90% of people would have considered folding under those circumstances. It may have crossed his mind but he did not follow through. He was the boss at one stage, no? He could have taken out that whole gambino family if he wanted. And no doubt the other families too. But he didn't. This Alite guy gave them EVERYTHING he had and if that wasn't enough he even lied and made some shit up! Normal every day people could see through him when he was on the stand. Why can't you? Give Jr. Credit where it is due and stop wiping alites ass. <br /><br />Here you have two guys. One who tried to send a person away for life, hung him out to dry and dragged his family's name through the mud even though he (Alie ) was standing with him (his own words) when all of this shit went down. Who did anything he could to get out of prison and tried to justify it by saying that he is "reformed" and wants to make a better future. (Bullshit. He wants money!) And a guy who has beaten the Fed's 4 times. On his own. Without standing trial to try and put someone else away for life. I know who I believe Ed. Maybe you should stop trying to run Jr. into the ground and get his side. At least get the book. Borrow it if you don't want to buy it. Then report.

How do you know he was shelved? Ed, if he commits one felonious violation, it will be used as a furtherance of a RICO. He will be subject to the same trial with a whole new set of charges and witnesses. Think before you post.<br />Unlike a host of another site whose sources are solely the government, it's refreshing to read accounts from men who lived the life. I also understand you cannot challenge every word they write or you will have no one contributing. But at least read the Gotti book before you accept Alite. Print his story, let him contribute, but please do not continue to write as fact what a corrupt FBI agent and AUSA let him get away with at trial. In fact, Ted Otto permitted Alite use of his private cell phone to threaten his ex-wife. The FBI permitted submission of a 302 into the record instead of having Otto be subject to a re-cross as it was proven as a complete lie.BothSidesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2408697780311463036.post-2896576296501103582015-06-05T09:32:59.475-04:002015-06-05T09:32:59.475-04:00I'm over this argument but have to say why was...I'm over this argument but have to say why was Junior shelved if he was so smaEd Scarpohttp://www.cosanostranews.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2408697780311463036.post-56274437603166307612015-06-05T09:24:50.858-04:002015-06-05T09:24:50.858-04:00Gene Gotti was caught saying words to that effect ...Gene Gotti was caught saying words to that effect on wiretap (while on phone with Quack Quack of course).
