Sal Polisi On Meeting The Funniest Mobster Louis “FAT GIGI” Inglese | Purple Gang | Drug Dealer |

[@ronaldsmith1282]

I met GIGI in Rl Reno Oklahoma while doing time. We met on the med.. line where we both got our daily insulin shots, ( as we were both diabetics. We traveled together for 2 years together to Springfield Missouri and then Danbury, Connecticut as our final destination. GiGi was always friendly to inmates as well as the guards in prison. GiGi worked in the kitchen at Danbury and he made egg& cheese sandwiches to sell on the compound, and gave me sandwich sandwiches to bring to the lieutenants office on a regular basis. GiGi was also a protector as well. Some big gay guy apparently wanted me for lunch & when GiGi found out, he stepped to the guy and let him know that I was protected by the Italians. Needless to say, the gay guy was never seen by me ever again. GiGi had clout. He was part of the French Connection people and got tons of respect. Sal’s correct when he says that GiGi was a funny guy. He seemed to take life as it came, and I rarely saw him angry. He made doing time, so much easier. RIP Mr. Inglese, you will always be remembered.

Thank you for sharing your story about GIGI not many people know of him but his stories always seem to be interesting.

[@ALifetimeofMafiaTales]

Ronald… I’m sure Gigi made you laugh… he could have been a standup comic! Sal

[@thomasrussell4674]

How strange that a guy in one way who could be responsible for so much evil (knowing the harm caused by heroin) yet in other ways, have apparently positive qualities that people remember with fondness. The world is a strange and complicated place.

“ Living off other people’s misery “ You mean like a drug dealer 😂

[@sirachvlogs5586]

THank you for introducing me this guy “fat Gigi”, as I never heard of him

[@investinyourselfpodcast]

Glad we could cover a new guy for you. We will be doing more just like him. More members of the purple gang. 😁

[@Eli-from-Boston.]

[@dandepirro1852]

That’s a picture of “Mr. Gribbs”

[@deanstafford3718]

My usual Saturday mob fix as I sort our dinner out keep up the good work buddy

[@investinyourselfpodcast]

Thank you for choosing us 😁 we just dropped another one just now to check it out 😁

“U gotta have more brains than balls now “ facts

[@investinyourselfpodcast]

Thanks for watching 😁

[@GaryB-75]

Sorry bud but I’m pretty sure that’s a picture of Carmine Tramunti….😬 If you type in Carmine Persico in Lompoc you’ll find a picture of them together

[@investinyourselfpodcast]

Very interesting. I’ll check it out. 😯 Thanks for watching Gary.

[@DucksCT]

Yes that’s definitely a picture of Tramunti in his younger years

[@GaryB-75]

Thanks Mr Corallo, You would know😉

[@colonelreb1014]

Definitely Gribbs. Gigi was much larger. Beach Rose Social club in the Bronx. Gribbs was Italian Harlem with Big Sam Cavalieri Lucchese 107th street

[@loubell8563]

That’s Carmine T,,Lou inglese is so much different looking

[@DarrenMcginn-w7f]

Well done guys very interesting regards Darren m

[@investinyourselfpodcast]

Thank you 🙏

[@DeanMontgomery-fr6co]

Department of connections that's hilarious Haha 😂 😂 😂

[@investinyourselfpodcast]

Right lol!

[@louisspiga4813]

yeah the photo in the middle was carmine AKA mr gribbs tramunti!

[@jeffstone2585]

Great episode! One thing I’ve always wondered about, Fat Tony Solerno was supposed to be worth a billion dollars! I wonder what happened to all that money!

[@greyjedi6430]

Hey everyone love from Northern Ireland

[@investinyourselfpodcast]

Thank you! We appreciate you watching 😁

[@pauliedibbs9028]

Fat Gigi looks just like Carmine Tramunti!

[@Rafael-716]

That’s a mug shot of Carmine Tramunti “Mr Gribbs” was to be new boss of the Lucchese family but got sent to prison. Corallo upped instead

[@Ron2Tani]

Catfish didn’t go to the Yankees until ‘75. He signed as a free agent. This was after the Curt Flood ruling, which ended the reserve clause.

[@mets1617]

That’s not Gigi in your picture.

[@topfeedcoco]

Another great episode, even if the boy-scout routine at the end about "Learn from their mistakes. Don't go down that path" rings hollow. It's unnecessary at this point, there is no 'mob life' to speak of these days, it's like warning kids not to stick up trains with Butch Cassidy. I mean the fq? 😄

[@investinyourselfpodcast]

Thanks for watching 😁 I will say it is important to cover that point at the end of each of our videos. It doesn’t matter if it’s not the mob in particular there is still gangs and other organized crime going on.

[@MrLanternland]

Ha ha!

[@jimmyvalentine798]

In regards to the movie "The Getaway" "Life imitates art far more than art imitates life" Oscar Wilde

[@investinyourselfpodcast]

Very true! Thanks for watching 😁

[@lench1762]

Thats Tramunti 😂

[@BirdFromYakiVegas]

I seen Sal doing an impression on some talk show from way back on John Gotti. Can you ask him to do a video on that.... & what possessed him to make fun of John on national TV when John's popularity was at an all-time high 🤣

[@investinyourselfpodcast]

Great question! I’ll have to ask him that one 😂

[@vincentscibana856]

My father was not a made guy but he was Italian in the 50s he did 8 years there would he be aloud in the mob circle?

[@WVF112469]

Harry The Hump Riccobene is a name from the old school. What breed of canine was joining the conversation?

[@johnegan6012]

Sal did u know the meldish brothers they were in the purples?😮

[@cormega08109]

Not only were they in the purples, Michael was the boss

[@ElectricCult]

Sal: _Gigi had no respect at all for attorneys he actually called them parasites. I remember him saying to me: you know what person beside an attorney can you think of that lives off other people's miseries?_ Wow Gigi I don't know, how about *drug dealers* ...mafia gangsters....

[@exspiravit6920]

Let's not forget the original sentiment though: Lawyers are pretty much just Politicians in waiting, and if they aren't juiced in then they become parasites, so they're still no better.

[@investinyourselfpodcast]

Lol true as well. Thanks for watching 😁

[@fendermon]

You said it perfectly. I wonder how mass amounts of heroin helped society? @Elect

[@rusellh3196]

Inglese was a Luchesse member not Purple gang. Abbamonte and Compapiano moved Gi GI's product in the early 70s

[@mattsweeny3957]

Supp Boys.. Matt NYC

[@investinyourselfpodcast]

Sup Matt! How you doing?

[@mattsweeny3957]

Outstanding guys..I've how Sal pronounces "Fat szchee szche" I love characters like that...The Guy was a Mafia Philanthropist! That was so nice what he did for the Limo guy...Vinny Blue Eyes Aloi...he lived in my neighborhood..total gentleman..Did he happen to grow up in Greenpoint Brooklyn? The reason I ask is that mt Older Brother Big Bart (63) went to St Francis Prep HS and all their sports teams were City & State Championship Level. The Handball team was even better...Best in America 🇺🇸. They were almost all Pollacks and from u guessed it GREENPOINT .Matt NYC

[@psource2305]

I thought Tommy DeSimone was the funniest guy in the mob. He was well known at the Bamboo Lounge for being a funny guy.

[@greyjedi6430]

Johnny echos ,bet they heard him coming

[@Dan_Ben_Michael]

He’s gonna go get the papers, get the papers

[@peternagy-im4be]

Johnny two times

[@investinyourselfpodcast]

We will be doing a video on him soon to lol!

[@investinyourselfpodcast]

@@Dan_Ben_Michael that’s correct!

[@JosephThomas-xz9jm]

Gigi wasn't with no family but he was next to all the bosses bc of junk n he was bringing in a lot of cash for them

[@justinhorn2864]

The federal government lives off others misery

[@investinyourselfpodcast]
