Anthony Russo on Why He Chose the Gambinos Over Bonanno Crime Family (Part 2)

Watch the full interview now, ad-free as a VladTV KZbin Member - • Anthony "Hootie" Russo...
Part 3: • Anthony Russo on Sneak...
Part 1: • Anthony Russo Grew Up ...
--------
In the latest clip, Anthony "Hootie" Russo detailed how he started selling drugs. At first, he was making a "fortune" in high school by selling nickel bags of weed. Later, he began selling crack and buying kilos by the time he was 18. He also claimed he became affiliated with the mafia at 14. While he initially thought he'd be apart of the Bonnano family, he explained that the Gambinos were the "rock stars."

The tension between Italians and Sicilians is discussed in the Gotti movie. Gotti was Neopolitan and Paul Castellano was Sicilian.

[@GrabinGears]

Really??

[@vinnysaccount]

@@GrabinGears yea. According to the movie, this riff is what led to Paul Castellano being murdered and the Gambino’s almost having a Civil War. Gotti was a sharp guy and was able to avoid that by getting the blessing of a majority (if not all) of the Capo regimes. The FBI was on to it because one of the feds was Italian.

[@squallie78]

In reality the castellano hit had nothing to do with ethnicity. people within the family thought Paul was greedy and out of touch with the streets. When Angelo Ruggerio got indicted for dealing heroin, Castellano planned to kill Ruggerio and dismantle the queens crew and demote Gotti back down to soldier from his posititon as a captain. Gotti wasnt having that and took him out.

[@vinnysaccount]

@@squallie78 well that was a major reason why he got murdered and why the Capo regime's accepted Gotti as the new boss. That's in the movie too.

[@squallie78]

@@vinnysaccount Castellano never had full support of the captains during his reign. He was resented by many because he never 'put in work' in the streets and was greedy and entitled. They felt that the only reason he became boss was because he was Gambino's first cousin and that Dellacroce was passed over and should have been named boss instead. This split the family in two. Gotti already had the support of the more powerful captains and that's all he needed as the so-called Castellano captains were afraid of Gotti and Dellacroce loyalists. I didn't see the movie, I heard it sucked actually. It's entertainment obviously and necessarily factually accurate.

The Mafia comes from Sicily, yes even before we were part of Italy. Italy had no involvement in Sicily till WWII. Where he is wrong we never considered our selves Italian why we already had our own culture independent of Italy. The Boss of Boss has always been in Sicily, now it’s just like any big Crime organization and yes Italians are part of it but still Run by Sicily. The word Mafia isn’t even a Sicilian or Latin word, it’s believed to come from Arabic and wasn’t used in Sicily till a novel in 1800’s and the first use was Mafiosa talking about beautiful women and Mafioso just means sly like fox not a made man that is American Mafia not Sicilian. The first use for the Mafia was protection of towns form other criminals kinda like a police force. Also that’s why they now use La Cosa Nostra which means for us or by us it was to separate from the American crime families.

Why do people always think these interviews the people are always high. Can’t believe that these guys were not into doing drugs just selling them. Not all of them of course but a lot of them didn’t touch drugs.

[@xlX2FreshXlx]

@@JohnFFox12 I'm well aware a lot did not indulge, many were against the idea of selling or doing! And many of the interviews I've seen, I don't make this observation. In fact this is the first one I can say that it seemed that way. Alite can, but I don't believe he is. This is a different thing.

For the crimes that are still within the statue of limitations the prosecutor would have to prove the crime happened. He could always say I was lying on camera

[@ASTRONADZ]

The reason you know so much about the mob is because mob guys loved snitching.
