--------
Dominick Cicale of the Bonanno crime family disclosed the chaos that ensued while he awaited trial. Cicale recounted Michael Mancuso dismantling his entire crew within two weeks. His auto repair shop, which was generating $10,000 a week, ended up $1.5 million in debt. Feeling betrayed by his criminal family, Cicale decided to cooperate with the federal authorities. Testifying against top crime figures such as Vinny Basciano and Michael Mancuso, Cicale faced immense pressure and danger, knowing he would be labeled a 'rat' for life. Despite the personal costs, his cooperation led to significant sentences for major crime figures in the Bonanno family. Cicale received a ten-year prison sentence and mandatory community service.

All they had to do was pay the man to keep his mouth shut 🤐 and they decided to give his girl $3500 parting gift as an insult....then expect him to sit by silently. 😂😂😂

They all try to justify why they ratted 😂

[@cipriandobrea7369]

What do you justify in your own life and the decisions you've made?

[@paulstrathern4309]

Can't say I blame him for telling. The Mafia is supposed to be a secret society with an alternate social contract. There are conditions. You keep your mouth shut if you have to do jail/prison time and they're supposed to take care of your family and your affairs on the outside. If your mafia 'family' breaks their end of the bargain and doesn't take care of your family and affairs while you're locked up, why should YOU keep your end of the bargain and keep your mouth shut?

[@Dayxh8]

Every gang , hood , crime family , etc has rats . Snitching is almost human nature lol nobody wants to spend 30+ years in jail . Only a few can stand tall and take the time.

[@citypopradioFM]

Once the feds got used to using RICO and dangling effective life sentences in front of guys by the 80's and 90's, on top of advanced police surveillance technology and advents like DNA to corner them with slam dunk convictions, guys simply didn't want to do the time like that nor be able to get away with things like the past decades. It used to be that guys would get 7 years, 10 years, maybe 15 and stand on it since they knew they'd come home and rewarded for staying solid. There have always been rats, it's part of that life, but once the old timer heavyweights went away by the Commission Trial in the mid-80's, times changed and things shifted on the street to the point that guys broke rules, dropped bodies everywhere, and saw that there was no real incentive to hold it solid in that life when it was their turn to go to jail. The Genoveses are still the strongest family because Gigante managed to stay on the street for a long time, even ducked the Commission Trial by fooling the feds, and it meant that they barely had any rats at all. When the actual boss is on the street and running things, these guys seem to value the loyalty and rules, but when the bosses all began going to jail forever, the cracks really blew all of that up and led to rats festering more and more. The current boss of that family is somehow still on the street and doing it right by being a ghost which is why they're still the strongest family to this day.

[@leonlonnielove1069]

So if the mob goes to the feds Vlad says they cooperated. If someone black from the streets does it Vlad calls them a snitch and laughs. Ok got it...smh

[@Cuddy83]

He still never called himself a rat unlike 3 clips ago when he was calling someone else a rat

[@joojoobaw]

What’s the difference between that & him agreeing with an emphatic “yes” here that he cooperated and will be known as a rat for the rest of his life? Does he really have to say “I ratted” for us to know he ratted? 😂

[@joojoobaw]

A text book psychopath. Interesting that he used his hand to cover his smile after laughing about having to pay for one of his victims funeral.

[@MegaBadboy26]

Randy Pizzolo was far from an innocent victim, he knew what time it was before he got wacked, he bought a $1 million dollar life insurance policy payable to his wife and daughter, he got clipped the day of or before he was supposed to sign the papers for the policy. Dom even told Randy to take off but Randy stayed and took what he knew he had coming to him, I mean hell he told his young daughter “your dad is checking out soon”

[@SteveSmith-kd9if]

THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS A PSYCHOPATH, "SELF PRESERVATION IS A MUST"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yall reach so damn far 😂 he was wiping his mouth. He laughed not because he paid for the victim’s funeral, but because they made him pay for it twice which is pretty absurd… and the absurd is often funny 🤦🏽‍♂️

Ever see The Godfather? Remember the scene when Michael is standing over Connie's baby (played by an infant Sophia Copalla)as it's getting baptized and he's saying how he'll reject Satan and all his works and so on, even as scenes are spliced in showing him doing the devil's work? Someone should do a scene like that but with one of these snitches taking the oath to the mob with the burning saint and everything, promising to keep the code and omerta, spliced in with images of him putting on a wire and talking to the cops and so on.
