[the other mike]

Fascinating stories about life in the Gambino family, his drug-dealing partnership with Hell's Angels, doing hard time in Riker's Island.....

In this VladTV exclusive, Anthony "Hootie" Russo sat down to detail his time as a crew member of the Gambino crime family. After describing his upbringing as a first-generation immigrant growing up in the largest mafia area in the world, Russo admitted that he wanted to be a "street guy" at five-years-old and started selling drugs before his teen years.

As a teenage drug dealer, Russo became affiliated with the mafia and explained why he chose the Gambinos over the Bonnano family. Russo also described a failed attempt at expanding his cocaine operation and explained why he was never a made man. He went on to detail his prescription pill operation and his time behind bars before describing the aftermath of the "The Mafia Takedown," which was the biggest one-day bust in United States history.

Really only 2 mob families still have huge power
The Gambinos and the genovese
Both have a couple hundred made members and several hundred associates
The genovese being the gold standard

The Bonanos have self destructed over the last 40 yrs with internal wars , Donnie Brasco infiltration and their own mob boss becoming an informant

 

[Quasar44]

The Columbos are a joke and the Lucheesse family had self destructed just like the Bonanos
The Chicago outfit is 90 percent erased
