This Week In Gang Land
Big Joey Used A Big Lie To Become The First NY Mafia Boss To Flip
It
took him six months to pull it off, but Joseph Massino put one over on the
feds to become the first New York Mafia boss to cooperate, Gang Land has
learned.
The Bonanno family chieftain did it by fingering his acting boss Vincent (Vinny Gorgeous) Basciano for plotting to kill a federal prosecutor when in fact, according to FBI records, it was Big Joey Massino who suggested killing the prosecutor.
Massino's claim that Basciano wanted to kill assistant U.S. attorney Greg Andres is a flat out lie, according to turncoat Bonanno mobster Dominick Cicale. He told Gang Land this week, and has stated several times in recent podcasts, that he and Vinny Gorgeous would have carried out a planned hit on prosecutor Greg Andres, but that Massino had "orchestrated" it.

high rolling gamblers, says he cannot get a fair trial — because the
government's case against him is rigged.
