The Boston Mafia war of the 1990's Cadillac Frank's Killing Fields 

My Dad was a made member of the Boston family back in the 60's-70's. My Mom packed me and my sister and moved us to Dallas when the police came looking for him for a murder. I only talked to him once since 1967 when I was 5 and that was in 1991. I went to West Memphis, AR in the early 80's and met a old guy in a hotel bar. He was a bookie and obviously "connected." When I told him my name, he asked if I was related to my Dad. Yup He knew my Dad. He took very well care of me that night. Paid my bar tab and did some other stuff which I wont divulge. My Dad died ib 2010 and he left me his house in Lynn, MA. I sold it and gave the money to my Mom

This channel is great, dude finds info you very rarely or have never even heard of. Love the stories about the less known criminals. 👍

I love your videos. No one else covers this stuff really. Certainly no one does it this in depth. Keep it up!

The amount of unsolved murders of that time was crazy

Just discovered this channel today and I already love it lol. Finally someone from New England describing events that happened in New England

Great video Jason, the longer videos are much appreciated!!

Thank you for a gr8 video share with pictures of the actual people you are talking about. It takes more effort but is MUCH appreciated!

Awesome work! The time you put into this one def showed!

Excellent narration !!!!!! You kept me on the edge of my seat , lol !!!!!!!

This was the best explanation of the 90’s Boston mob war. It is usually very confusing but this was really clear and good

Another beauty Jason! Keep up the great videos!

First time viewer. Great show. Jow about an episode on Bobby Luisi and the 99 restaurant shooting

i respect what you're trying to do here. keep working on your narration and editing skills, and before you know it this will the number one channel for this kind of content.

Dude you did a kick ass job on this. I know quite a bit of Mafia stuff and this is new to me. You did a lot of lucid explanation here and I am sure it took a lot of research. Then you backed it up with the pics. I subscribed and gave you the thumbs up. That was a bloody war for sure. My only advice is come up with a Mafia name for your channel. The Deadly News You Can't Refuse...you have my permission to use it.

Jason keep up the dope videos bro.. love the genuine research you have done cuz I know alot about these subjects and your right on point 💯!! Ignore the trolls and watch your channel grow 😎.. keep it up

Love these! I remember growing up in Brockton and watching some of this stuff on the news.

I just re watched this beauty of a documentary I really hope you keep making more videos about the mob

Was always fascinated with JR Russo local legendary figure and the IHOP Saugus shooting my hometown at 13 years old i started my 1st love reading newspaper's/ criminal history. Thanks for covering this long overdue topic

I really love your style and content. I wish you the UTMOST success! ...I also appreciate that the videos are concise and sweet!

That was excellent thank you. I grew up in Nahant,ma (anguilo had a home here) also pretty sure i went to school with Marinos son. That story about the bugged butt had me in stitches.

Love the channel! Was in Boston this week with my wife!

As long time in the Massachusetts underworld you video's are extremely well done

Very good content my friend. New subscriber here. Live from Ireland

Very good video and accurate information that was cool

Great video

Great content!

Listening to your voice and reading the comments brings back memories growing up in Lynn, Massachusetts. I did time in Salem Jail, MCI Norfolk Hospital 🏥 and MCI Concord. I ran the New Man line as a favor to the Corrections Officers. 👮‍♀️ God bless you guys and Merry Christmas 🎄 Father Bill Alias Billy Bondage

Jason ✌️, good stuff, can you do one on Timmy the Bat Mello I believe he use to hang around Kevin Hannarhan. I remember Timmy the bat was at Devens Feds for a while then got out a while same Eddy portalla, I remember Gerry Angullo was there and got out shortly after it was around 2007. Anyway good stuff ✌️

Best one yet brother

GREAT STUFF NICE

Thanks for this great video, Jason. Was Wimpy Bennett believed to have been an informant for the Boston police during the sixties? Could Cadillac Frank's son and his brother Jackie be involved with Mark Rossetti in the hits on the renegade faction?

Absolute Brilliant ! A guy i worked with knew Caddilac in JP way back and he drove Caddy's then of course he didnt pay for them..

Great job

Good job on the video…. That was Cirame’s bar Ponzo went into when Romano Jr was changing the tire and got shot it wasn’t long after that Cirame got shot 6 times outside his house he lived but was in out the hospital for years after because of infections and other shit from the results of the shooting and ended up passing maybe like 15 years ago I knew him well his kids are good friends of mine. RIP Joe Cirame Sr

Good stuff.. much luck too you.

Good Job 👍👍👍

Great video mam

This book was dope , I love Boston skyline , I. Ready to hear. Can u do one western mass , not about Bruno

Weren't many of the bodies you mentioned being found in north revere just over the Saugus line? I remembered as kids mafia hits were being found in cars during the early 90's.

Oh yeah Jay good one!

Good stuff!!

That was really good history lesson about the boston underworld

I remember they were going at it everywhere. There was even two book cookers wiped out in Middleton MA. This was going on right around the time of the armored car robberies to. You didn't go into the commons at night and stayed out of the back bay.

Love it !

Steven Flemmi was in 10block Walpole April 2002 and Gary Sampson came in after and was in 10Block on the same Teir beside Flemmi. Great investigative and research done making all your videos. I think your Bostonian way of speaking is better than someone out of Harvard doing the talking because your voice and words are of the early days of Englanders dealing with the rough Sailors of the oceans at New England's shipping ports caused Englanders to loose their British accent and began the creation of the accent of the Bostonian because some outsiders believe our accent is a foreign accent but when New England opened their door's to Europeans who spoke Polish, Italian, Sicilian, etc., these people's raised their children to not speak any language but the language of New Englanders so they began speaking like New Englanders, leaving out the "r" and so on. So Bostonian accent like this man's is from Englanders creation adapting to Europeans being taught everywhere to speak English. The Bostonian accent is not a language brought here from Polish, Italians, Sicilians, etc., it's a language started by the first New Englanders working mostly receiving ships, and their crews on the Docks dealing with people trying to learn English. I'm just babling because someone made a comment about the speakers speech and I'm just trying to say that the man is speaking Bostonian which was started by people from England bloodline but born over here. Bostonian is a English accent language of Boston as the British English accent is of London. So this man's accent is perfect Bostonian and was one time spoken by the wealthy land owners and politicians of New England from the first born of the settlers. This is my opinion of course but it makes sense to me 😂

Good job

Tremendous video. I used to live at 1 Longfellow Place Boston, which is a luxury apartment building, on the same floor as Joe Russo. I was watching the tv news 1 night & saw the FBI taking him out of the building in handcuffs.

Excellent.

Good Jobber...Matt NYC

Supporter here so don’t take this the wrong way but if u could start putting some names with the pictures or some captions something so we can better understand who is who and what is what that would be amazing. Great videos tho I know u put a lot of time into them

It’d be cool if you put some Providence guys in one. We practically family!

“I THINK THEY’RE ON TO ME!” 😂😊

Their is an obscure book called Legends of Winter hill that tells the inside scoop on a lot of these guys. Including an o.g. they called "Black Jimmy ". .funny thing is it's actually about a Summerville cop who wad shot in a bust.

What was the body count in this 90s mafia war? Nice job👍

2 things. 1) you know your shit 👍 2) Frank doesnt get brought up enough, or as you would think. The guy was a killing machine whenever he was not in prison, and rose to the position of boss despite being half irish. Then somehow managing to be a free man and messing it up by not disclosing all his murders. He is a fascinating study

I love their nicknames so colorful

I grew up with the Salemme children..Frank was never home..it was sad. All his kids were f'd up as they grew. 2 of them passed early. What u put out into the world , you will receive back

Greetings from Australia

Hey great video bro if I was doing content I'd be doing it about this mafia war and the winter hill Charlestown irish mob war 70 gangland slayings worst war in organized crime history I'm from Boston u got an intresting channel hmu if ud wanna collaborate!

The 1990s was a crazy time in Boston and it’s surrounding communities.. Great job on the continent. I have to laugh, because I remember when the news started to spread that Mark was an informant, and no one believed it initially… life is not always what we expect.

I think it’s funny that gangsters are always talking about respect…. if they simply understood the meaning of the word…… they would never have been a gangster 😳

You did a exellent job on this

Rosetti looks like Henry Rollins just a bit beefier 😅

Do one on mugger McGuire

Mark is still in Boston I seen him 3 months ago and I talked to Gigi yesterday

I know times are different yet I'm still gonna play it safe and avoid all ihops in Massachusetts

Ponzo died on New Year’s Eve 2021 in prison

This is good shit.

Really great show 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤😊😊😊 could you do a video on Bobby luisi from Mass springfield or boston, I know he is from that area... he been on RU-vid, but i would love to hear moore about him. All the Best Camilla from Denmark 🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰

I was on 240D with Jack in the very early 2000’s. Mike Romano was on C-Side with Richie Gillis. I remember they moved Richie over to the D-Side and they brought Bobby Luisi in Richie went down and slapped the fk outta him. Bobby was gone within hours. There was a lot of OGs in Middleton in early 2000’s. It was a pleasure to be able to meet and be around them!

Nortgate parking lot has 100 deals per day😂

The 1992 killing in the driveway that was my next-door neighbor. I was 12 years old and they gun him down with a machine gun. He also owned the building the Winner Circle, Cafe on the heights this house was where the muder happen, bobby corroza was also our neighbor his house was behind the hit

The only "making" of a member ever recorded

My paesanos are messed up people nha lie but I love my country 🇮🇹 born and raised

Little correction Raymond Junior did not call that meeting he was forced to call that meeting there is a lot more involved he was going to step down after the ceremony because of pressure from those who opposed his leader ship

I subscribed

Rip king Von! I like the intro . But finally something on my city

do a 2 weeks video

I dated franks niece to say he was a hard man was a understatement

Damn. This wahr looked wicked Haaahhhd

I live in downtown, Govt Center. Boston Ma. Love these. I'm from from Spfld Ma. Do one on Al Bruno. Or...The guys who killed Whitey... Either way... Keep it up ked!

I was in prison up in Shirley max with Rossetti's co defendant Yaz, Spanish kid,and real good dude,, but I gotta mention you were wrong about when the feds finally found Enrico ponti out in his farm in the sticks,, it was 2011, not 2013, I remember it clearly because I was in occ at the time he was caught,, my celly was a connected guy from the north end ,and I got shipped out of there in 2011

Bro if you are currently violent you are not long for the world one way or another

Poetic justice Boston

I had mercurio as next dr cell mate plymoth 95, i also was the barber. Cut his hair and payriaca jrs hair.. plus i had butts smuggled in Think im s liar?? We all had our ids on display. Jr was born 1945 in February the 21sy if i remember right. I used to be a boxer, i knocked out a eggplant when i went to the hole after 30 days i refused to come out unless they sent me to the other fed tier. I wasn't a fed prisoner but they were single cells, that is what i wanted. I wasn't a gangster, but i was a serious man former boxer so they sent me to the rival tier where flemmi and salemmi were boy i could tell u dome stories. I still got the d report a dicilplinary report for slapping flemmi

you got everything right except for what happened to gigi at the end

FYI Frank Salemmi and the rifleman both had Irish mothers until around 1987 they could not be made Stevie Norway would split money with anybody but one of the men Whitey so even after they change the rule it wouldn’t be long before it was known he was an informant Frankie got made when they change the rule in two years after being made becomes the boss because there was nobody left on the streets of Boston

Jason keep up the great work, have you found anything about the names of the guys I sent you, or the globe vending machine company? I also was wondering if you could or would do a video about the murder of Robert (Bobby) Lamonica, and why Fred Weichel was fingered for the murder?

I remember Boston being the murder Capitol of America.

I dated franks niece i was terrified its prounced sa lem e It was short lived bc bc of call from frank it was Jackie daughters even though they were divorced Stevie bulger rositi and frank all allegedly have up to 25 bodys each
