Shocking Update on Capo "Tony Cakes" Passing: Was J. Pennisi Wrong?

‪@RealMobStories‬ James Proctor discusses the latest happenings in the world of Organized Crime and the American Mafia Cosa Nostra. Today, we discuss the SAD passing and accident of Anthony "Tony Cakes" Conigliaro by a department of transportation vehicle. The demise of Tony Cakes was disturbing but it seems to be nothing but a sad accident. The driver of the F550 was upset at what happened. Apparently, Tony Cakes was in the cross walk but was not looking at traffic. He lived in Bay Ridge and was 86 years old. He is friends with Mob Lawyer Mathew Mari who is a friend of this show. Mr Mari gives his thoughts on Tony Cakes. IN addition, we find out about his nickname and is Mob Past as an acting capo in the Genovese Family. He goes back to the days of Matty the Horse Illiano who famously owned the Umberto's Clam House where Joe Gallo met his final fate that early morning after a night of partying. We also discuss John Pennisi, the former Lucchese member who became an informant. John Pennisi did a show recently about Federico "Fritzy" Giovanelli and according to a "friend", the information given was wrong. In particular, Fritzy was never involved in dope and was a guy involved mostly in bookmaking and loan sharking. Fritzy infamously had a court stenographer on payroll with the federal courts and he was able to get indictment information before it happen. In one case, he let Gambino Angelo Ruggiero also known as Quack Quack know about an upcoming indictment. as we know his brother Salvatore Ruggiero was a big deal in the H trade and he ended up dying in a plane crash. Sal's business was taken over by Angelo Ruggiero. However, this went against the mandate of Gambino Boss Paul Castellano who did not approve of dealing dope because of the problems with law enforcement and federal indictments. Fritzy actually gave the indictment draft to Angelo Ruggiero. There was a bug on the property and this was bad news for Ruggiero as he liked to talk on his daughter's Princess Phone. In addition to himself, he got John Gotti's brother Gene Gotti jammed up in this. They went to 3 different trials over 5 years before getting convicted. Gene Gotti and John Carneglia go to prison on a 50 year sentence while Angelo Ruggiero passes away from cancer. John Gotti was so upset that he wouldn't have anything to do with Angelo Ruggiero and it was reported that Sammy the Bull Gravano told John Gotti he should go to the funeral. Even John Gotti Junior was friendly still with RUggiero who had been a long time friend of the Gotti's. There are reports as well that Ruggiero was the nephew of former Gambino Underboss for Carlo Gambino and Paul Castellano, Neil Dellacroce. WE discuss the case including the accusations that Fritzy was responsible for the attempted rubout of police detective Kathleen Burke and the actual demise of Anthony Venditti who was a NYPD Detective in the Task Force looking at organized crime. This happened in January of 1986, when John Gotti had just become the boss of the family. However, Fritzy was a member of the Genovese family and was close to people like Vincent "Chin" Gigante and "Fat" Tony Salerno. Stay tuned to Real Mob Stories with James Proctor for the latest updates and stories.

100% I’d like to see live shows . I find you to be very interesting and honest . Keep up the fantastic work and I’ll keep watching

[@jCherylClark]

A live would be great and would love to see you do more interviews. You know how to ask questions that are respectful and get the answers!

[@RealMobStories]

Thanks Cheryl. I appreciate the feedback and kind words.

[@Delilah1025]

Cheryl I think you said it well. James you are really coming into your own. My opinion… I think a live once a month would be great. Interviews are always informative and interesting. Keep up the good work!

[@jameseproctorpmp]

@@Delilah1025thanks you so much for your words

[@DirtyPurdy104]

I never thought Lee was a bad guy but that his channel was more the “TMZ” of the genre. Now I think you’ve transformed this channel into well researched and thorough dive on quality material. You and Nadu do similar type videos but your quality has far surpassed him, IMO. His research is surface level and yours is indepth (paperwork) etc. keep up the good work!

[@jameseproctorpmp]

Thank you so much. I really try. Hope to continue to improve etc. Jeff does good as well

[@mattsweeny3957]

Couldn't agree more..Plus James is humble...not a pompous ass

[@michaelburnett7809]

@@mattsweeny3957agree also, no disrespect to lee but I think James was always the one that did all the work and I personally think James is a better person he deals with people in a much better manner imo

[@Italiagirl-y3r]

My god how tragic😔💔😭no words to say but may he RIP🙏✝️🙏✝️🙏✝️💜

[@jameseproctorpmp]

I know. Just horrible

[@Geezuse]

a live would be cool, why not. you should put the stream link up incase people wanna join. thanks for keeping th channel going james

[@RealMobStories]

Yeah I would like to defintely have people join the panel etc. not just me talking. I want it to be engaging and fun for everybody

[@user-rc8dk1eg9u]

I've listened to hours of Fritzy's phone taps. He never mentions anything incriminating. Very shrewd. Hell his mole that provided FBI info and indictments is still unknown to this day. Very cautious individual.

[@RealMobStories]

Yes indeed. Fritzy was defintely a shrewd guy and amazing he had that connection for so long

Good stuff James. Keep up the great work buddy.

He was dead ☠️upon arriving on scene like we couldn't figure that out🙄, lmfao 🤣 James Sarcasm is perfectly timed when Random & Humor-Filled 😅.

[@jameseproctorpmp]

Thanks frosty. Yeah just was kinda weird when the article I read said after being decapitated that authorities pronounced him dead. Thanks for watching

[@Frosty98206]

No problem💯, keep doing good reporting enjoy your vids & help me get through the Day to Day.

[@aceloco817]

Hey James, do u make episodes about the Canadian mob? Seems like they're the ones that are way more active, as in violence. Compared to the mob in the States. Would be cool to get more news on em from another source other then the OG pod. Plus it would keep u a lil more busier since the US mob has strayed away from the violent side of the 'life'.... keep it up tho sir!

[@RealMobStories]

You are correct it is much more involved than in the states now. I have followed some of the dealings in Montreal but I am not an expert in the mob up there. However I find it fascinating and have been getting up to speed on the history etc

[@kevinfahey1968]

Good work, James❤

[@jasonnicks819]

I definitely think you should do a live show. I like once a week.

[@jameseproctorpmp]

Thanks for watching. Hope you enjoy today’s show and wishing everyone a wonderful weekend.

[@courtneyroberts1374]

Your a brilliant reporter on everybody to bring us history thank you James x❤️

[@Bensonhurstbabyboomer]

I do watch Pennisi’s channel he does a pretty good job. I kind of doubt that Fritzy dealt drugs. The Chin was very serious gangster. He took no drug rule seriously.Would have been a death sentence for Fritzy if he got caught.

[@williamannette558]

John P gets every story wrong All he does is copy other peoples story and takes their word for it. He doesn’t do any investigation

[@lorenzoaufiero1232]

Pennisi is a very good channel as well

[@jameseproctorpmp]

Fritzy was very saavy and don’t think so but either. Yeah and he was close to Chin and he was a decent earner so I don’t think he would get involved in drugs

[@jameseproctorpmp]

I really didn't like this channel with lee running the show but you on the other hand made the podcast one of my favorites 😊

[@alexanderthurman214]

Hello James, I absolutely love, your Shortz’s, and Long Podcasts. I would applaud you, in any endeavor you choose. You are now, my favorite Mob Podcast. 2nd of course “OC Shortz”. I would love some Shortz’s on the Chicago Outfit! May God bless everyone ✝️🇺🇸!

[@jasonp357]

James do the lives I love all the content

[@Anony1632test]

"Decapitated man confirmed dead by police."

[@jameseproctorpmp]

Thanks for the comment

[@michaelburnett7809]

That was some contact that fritzy had, especially for that length of time that James states.

[@user-mb7qm4rp9o]

Do a live once in a while ..sounds good

[@jameseproctorpmp]

Yeah that’s what I thinking. I want it to be interesting and obviously the majority of content are videos but I do enjoy the interaction.

[@richardswaddle1016]

Where is you ascent from?? You don't sound like a New Yorker. I love your work second too none. Keep it up. From Newcastle England

[@EricDahlstrom-k7k]

That's rare,bc penisi is usually on the up n up.listen to him vs gravano, talking bout the guy who ran westies in late 80s,early 90s,Bosnian guy.

[@RealDeal09]

Very informative very well detailed show. Great job James.

Thank you

Very interesting James thanks, the thing that hit me was that age, doesn't protect you

[@RealMobStories]

Very true. Sad but true

[@ryanevans126]

Hey james I went to see the bikeriders last night at cinema it was really good have u seen it

[@RealMobStories]

I have not seen it yet Ryan. I will have to watch it. I appreciate you asking.

[@maxwellanderson8173]

As for the live,if you get a good topic or a good guest, lives can be very good, the draw back is the sickos that come into the live,it obviously comes with the territory, you just need someone good with you,who can remove them quickly,so that they don't gather a Sick momentum

[@RealMobStories]

Right and I want to have people engaged and be part of it. Not just me talking etc

[@andrewashcraft-hi4ot]

Have you ever thought about trying to interview Robert Blakely if you could do that or 4 John Drummond Chicago news reporter that covered the outfit for 2530 years

[@RealMobStories]

I would love too. Problem is that a lot of legitimate reporters are snobbish and will not go on podcasts. We obviously had Sandra Peddie a couple of times but I have tried some of these guys and never hear back from them.

[@mattsweeny3957]

Yes agree

[@Nidaltheakhi]

Your Brooklyn friend aka Jeff Lowmen aka Jeff Canrise

[@BarryThrash]

I like longer content to listen to.

[@RealMobStories]

I understand. Problem is that most people are ADD and they won’t stick around if it’s too long. But if I have an interesting topic or guests etc it will be longer

[@BarryThrash]

Well what can you expect from Pennisi dude says he became an informant over his Ghost of his Grandparents & the ringing of his Glassware in his House 🏡 as a Spiritual Message(Really?) & allegedly doesn't have a Good track record with females, Pennisi callous to his YT Viewers from some of His Past Comments no wonder didn't last Long in that life rubs ppl wrong way.
