The Great Philadelphia Mob War: FBI's Secret Operation | The FBI Files

[@PlanetNinetyTwo]

Caponigro, not Scarfo, killed Bruno. Caponigro was just rewarded for his troubles with a few bullets to his own skull. Scarfo didn't immediately take over after the Bruno hit. Philip Testa was actually in n charge for about a year before he met his own untimely demise. Only then did Nicky Scarfo take the reigns.

[@MrReed-yj3hk]

Ur right. That's how it went. The "chicken man" took the reigns after Bruno. Scarfo killed Salvi Testa. That was fkd up... I think it's fd up when a major show like this gets obvious info ...wrong! 🤔

These shows are old and the channel owner publishes older relicensed content. (The older shows are easier and cheaper to relicense for reuse - but he does have a good selection.) This show, "The FBI Files" originally aired from 1998-2006 on the Discovery channel. (This episode originally aired in 2005.) The show's host, Jim Kallstrom, unfortunately passed away in July 2021 from a rare blood cancer. The producers have him introduce himself as "the head of" the FBI's New York field office - although he was not - he was the Assistant Special Agent in Charge (ASAC). He served in the ASAC role for two years and retired from that position. In short, the chances of seeing self-produced content on this channel, based on your request, is very low - as I have only ever seen older relicensed videos here.

The assertion that Little Nickey was suspected of killing Angelo Bruno is totally inaccurate. He was never suspected by the mob or law enforcement. Funzi Tierri and the Chin set up Bruno and took out the killers (Capanegro). The Genoveses then placed Phil the "Chicken Man" Testa as boss who was later assassinated. Then Scarfa was given Philly by New York.

Yeah these types of documentaries always seem to oversimplify matters. They don't want to confuse viewers (most of which are idiots) by bringing up too many people.

Maybe in Usa all italian crime organisations a referred to as Cosa Nostra. But it's not exact.

[@christianjfortunato2658]

@fantomas I agre, I'm half sicilian and I know how cosa nostra has touched sicilian society deeply. They "invented" mafia. But "'ndrangheta", while convincing the world that thy didn't exist, gained a power that has reached out of calabria in ways that cosa nostra, a part the fame, didn't. The organized crime in America, for example, even though born from thw sicilian, is very different. Cosa Nostra in Italy is formed by only sicilian while the American mafia has people whose backgrounds come from the other southern Italian regions. Anyway, I'm going out of contest, I still think they are a cancer of society. People from thodr regions are mostly good hearted, friendly and hard working and a high level of schooling education

With the possible penalties and long terms in prison all of that "I'll never snitch" and "I'm a stand-up guy -- I'll never tell" stuff goes RIGHT out the window when a conspiracy is busted. The people involved come RUNNING to make plea bargains. And the one who brings in the most information gets the best deal. The Feds have an expression for it -- "He who talks first walks first." 🤣 Nationally on average on the Federal level, 99% of people who are indicted take plea bargains. Part of those of course is that you tell all you know on your buddies as a "cooperating witness", a.k.a. a snitch. Of the remaining 1% of the Einsteins who think they're going to beat their charges at trial, 99% of THEM are found guilty. And because you "put the government to its burden of proof" and wasted time on a trial even though you and everybody else knew you were guilty, when sentencing time comes the hammer comes down. Ask O.J. Simpson. On that Vegas armed robbery caper, he was offered a 2 to 5 year sentence plea deal, and he turned it down. OK, OJ. Nine years later he gets out of prison.

All the old mobsters try everything to avoid a war , the gentle don and the John Stanfa . What is wrong with the newer generation .

[@ituC1008]

Social media helps their need to be known, they never wonder why the old guys are known or were known without social media. They had respect and were principled, eg ; We don't kill kids, we don't touch each other's wives etc

[@golqqk]

There was no social media back then. What are you even talking about?

[@ituC1008]

@@golqqk Read again what I said. I'm paralleling between then and now. The guys now just want to be known, as long as it gets to social media they'll abandon their principles. Do you now understand what I'm on about?

Your info is wrong. Scarfo didn't kill Bruno. Testa took over after Bruno. Then Stanfa and finally Scarfo.

[@TonyVerrazano]

Stanfa did not take over until after Scarfo was in prison.
