Iβm not in the business of defending mobsters and I donβt usually care about rats. I mean I think itβs kinda bullshit that guys get clean slates for just snitching on others as if that made them innocent. Doesnβt seem just but still I digress. What I donβt understand is what kinda human being rats out his 93 year old father. Thatβs just incomprehensible to me. 93 fucking year old father.
... according to his own account in the podcast Criminal. He was in witness protection because he wore a wire to collect evidence for the FBI, turning state's evidence against his father. The specific dates are difficult to locate, but it sounds like he was only living in Austin for a few short months.
He starts dissing them at around the 9th minute upwards

Michael never claims to be a killer or a tough guy in any of his interviews that I've seen. Michael made millions for the bosses while John Alite and Gene Borrello were out baseballing degenerates down alleys. John is a narsissist who need's validation like water. Gene is not even a made men and yet he talks like he knows more than Michael. low life gangster jealous of the real earners....he just seeks attention. Michael was listed among the 50 top Mobsters. John Alite and Gene Borrello have a hard time facing the fact that the mob just used guys like them. They weren't smart enough to realize that when they grew up and they aren't smart enough now to understand that nobody cares about what they have to say cause they are just another criminal so they come up with all kinds of nonsense really.
Listening to part 2 of John Pennisi interview, John refers to his Capo as a βcaporegimeβ. Iβm paraphrasing but I think he even threw shade at Gene Borello and John Alite by saying βwith respect to associates and non-made guys in the media.....they might not have known all the rules and probably werenβt told them since they where not made.....but we always referred to our capo as caporegimeβ Not bad for the Penis lol
One of the horrors of that life!
Michael Franzese was a Mafia Caporegime in the Columbo Crime Family. While not outright admitting it, he's heavily alluded to have killed several people. When a high profile criminal in organized crime is willing to cooperate, does that get them off murder charges? Is it due to lack of evidence? John Alite outrights admits to murdering people but was never charged for it (which would likely carry a life sentence).
Not asking for personal advice, genuinely curious how people get away with murder.

Wtf is going on in Houston?
DNA Doe Project has identified the Twinsburg Ohio John Doe 1982 as Frank "Frankie" Little, Jr., a member of the R&B group the O'Jays. His remains were found February 18, 1982 in a shallow grave in the woods behind a machine shop on Cannon Road, with evidence of stabbing, blunt force trauma, and postmortem burning. It was theorized he had been deceased for 1-2 years before his discovery.
Not a lot of information seems to be available about his disappearance or when exactly his family lost contact, but he was believed to have been alive into the mid-1970s. Summit County Medical Examiner Lisa Kohler says she plans to rule his death a homicide.
Thanks to the DNA Doe Project and the City of Twinsburg Police Department, Little's family has some closure.
(I didn't see this posted yet, or any posts about this in general. If anyone knows of a write-up on him that I missed, please let me know!)
EDIT 2: The O'Jays sent a statement to Rolling Stone that said:
> Frankie was a guitarist and songwriter in the very early OβJays [...] He came with us when we first ventured out of Cleveland and traveled to Los Angeles, but he also was in love with a woman in Cleveland that he missed so much that he soon returned back to Cleveland after a short amount of time. That was in the mid 1960s and we had not heard from him after then. Although this sounds like a tragic ending, we wish his family and friends closure to what appears to be a very sad story.
EDIT 3: /u/Basic_Bichette pointed out this composition he did for the O'Jays on YouTube, if anyone wants to hear his work. Thank you!
