I wonder how weird it is for Sal to know all these guys he ran with schemed and robbed with are all gone now. He managed to survive and keave the life behind and Tommy, Foxy, Gotti, Ruggiero etc are all dead. I imagine it has to be pretty surreal for him.

Yea I guess but u kinda know that going in. 20 years later 90% of those guys got whacked or are doing 20 or more years

[@1NewFlyer]

I think the fact that he decided to go legit probably gives him a bit of peace

[@MrGarymuldoon]

He was also discredited in court and thrown out as a witness never to be used again so like most of the rats I wouldn’t put to much merit into their words lol they love to embellish their roles with no one left to rebut and create their own narrative. Some to change public’s view on them and their cooperation, others for profit, some for both.

[@motleyfan7558]

[@investinyourselfpodcast]

Glad you enjoyed our show 😁 we got another episode coming out this Saturday. Hope you enjoy it 😁

[@tomking7080]

Quack Quack is a huge reason why Big Paul was killed and he really screwed things up badly. He wasn’t called Quack Quack because he talked to much,which he did, but he got the nickname because of the way he walked. He got DB killed and DB wasn’t a threat at all because he borrowed a couple hundred grand from him and didn’t want to pay him back. He also tried to kill Gaspipe when he was the Underboss of the Luchesse family. He got a lot of people killed because of that. Eventually John put him on the shelf and he died from lung cancer.

[@investinyourselfpodcast]

Thank you for sharing this with us. This brings great insight into what we’re were taking about.

[@hakimrouachi5940]

S'il n'avait pas était décédé prématurément je pense que Gaspipe casso L'aurai tué 👍

[@PolarBearPredator]

Very well stated and 100% true. I always knew this and felt this way about him never had any respect for him. He literally caused a chain of deaths of strong members and caused a chain of events that literally lead to the downfall of not on the Gambino Crime Family but arguably of the entire Italian Mafia in New York and even Philly by taking down what over 80 guys or something like that eventually? John taking over the way he did wouldn't have happened if Neil was made the Boss which should have happened. So it was really the combination of Don Carlo making Paul the Boss and then that idiot quack quack ended up ruining the rest. Then from the other side Paul had a complete maniac serial killer Roy DeMeo running around practicing on customers to keep his guys sharp. Not to mention all the others but these two guys must have given Paul migraines lol.

[@pistolpete528]

Yes let sal talk so he can rat out more people he forgot about

Good Day, Fellas! ..Sal, if you see this, do you plan on having a podcast/show on your channel someday? EDIT: I often wonder what would have happened, if the Gambinos were successful with killing Gaspipe... an all out war with the Lucchese, clearly?

[@phoradio1277]

Then Franky never gets deleted and takes out Gotti to become boss. The whole Gotti fiasco never happens and we talk about how Frank Diccio and the Gambinos were the only family where the upper echelon wasn't dismantled and that's how they took control of everything. Edit: Unfortunately Massino still flips because of Sal Vatale and that's why Franky died in prison. Basically follows a Chin trajectory.
