Dean Balsamini at the New York Post offers a piece on a former organized crime member turned cooperating witness who produces a blog on the doings of the Lucchese Cosa Nostra crime family.
This
mob rat isn’t breaking legs, but he’s busting chops.
Star wiseguy witness John Pennisi, who
testified at three major trials last year, has launched a blog that pulls back
the curtain on his Lucchese crime family “friends” — and has infuriated his
federal handlers, Jerry Capeci writes in a report on
Ganglandnews.com.
The 51-year-old Mob turncoat created Sitdownnews.com to
give “readers education and insight into ‘the life’ from first-hand knowledge
and experience.”
Pennisi is not shy about chronicling the
hits — and misses — of made men.
In one entry, “A
Mob Handbook,” clueless La Cosa Nostra candidate John
(Butch) Arpino allegedly seeks advice from Pennisi on how one wiseguy should
let another know that he too is a wiseguy.
When Pennisi repeats the curious inquiry to
John (Johnny Sideburns) Cerrella, a then-acting Lucchese captain, the boss
shakes his head and says, “It is truly unbelievable, a guy like that got no
business [becoming a made man]. What’s it come to? They now gotta hand them a
f–king handbook after they straighten them out!”
