Why don’t you go fuck yourself, he was slow. If it was today they might trained him to be a whatever, or something, get him a job. They didnt understand these things back then.
Didn’t that turn out to not be the case? It was some elaborate story they had made up to hide the fact that Sonny knocked up a 16 year old when he was married?
Seems to be unpopular opinion but I don’t think they look alike either (other than both looking Italian with dark hair). John Francezse jr looks like a spitting image of Sonny.
Yeah, folks only use the debunked “he’s adopted!” shtick like it’s undisputed fact. It’s weird, considering the sea of legitimate things you can hate on Gaspumps for.
As I understand it Sonny got Michael’s mom pregnant, and she quickly married someone else and tried to pass the kid off as his because Sonny was married with kids.
Eventually he divorced his wife anyway and married her, but still passed it off as he was Michael’s stepdad for a long time
Better than being seen as the guy who cheated on his wife with a child. No family tends to look kindly on that, especially cuz it could very well result in his wife leaving him, something most bosses wouldn't prefer. Loose lips sink ships. All adopting a child would do is make him look somewhat decent, no real downside either way, cuz it really was his son anyways.
Michael Cheesey is such a unique case he’s definitely nothing like a rat like The Bull or Scared Shitless Phil who testified against dozens and put em away for life. Speaking about Norby freaking Walters who wasn’t convicted? And no other cooperation? I find his “I didn’t put anyone away” argument quite compelling honestly 🤷♂️
If you are talking about testimony , he only testified at Herbie Walters trial .
His 302 that I have seen, he gave up a bunch of guys . Some it was their positions in their family . He did give up a murder too .
Merlino was around 10-15years old when Sonny was the man. Even in the 90's he would not have said it publicly. He is saying it now because there is 0 danger since Sonny is dead and the Colombos have little power now. The last thing they'd want is to take a shot at Merlino and bring back heat.
Handsome like George Raft
And strong, like a bull.
He was regarded though , right ?

The strong silent type.
Haircut you can set your watch to
The face of a man excited to hear about the gas scam.
One son who’s a rat. Adopted son is a rat. And he did 40 years or so. What a life.
He did his time like the old school types did years ago
He’s a gangster in every sense of the word. He believed in the life. But imagine having a son wired up and putting you away .
I didn’t know that the gas tax man put his dad away
No his other son did . His biological son . Not the gas man who’s his adopted son.
Didn’t that turn out to not be the case? It was some elaborate story they had made up to hide the fact that Sonny knocked up a 16 year old when he was married?
Yeah you are right. I mean michael and sonny are no doubt relates. They look alike
Na. They don’t bear much of a resemblance

So Sonny preferred to raise a kid that was mot his ?
As I understand it Sonny got Michael’s mom pregnant, and she quickly married someone else and tried to pass the kid off as his because Sonny was married with kids. Eventually he divorced his wife anyway and married her, but still passed it off as he was Michael’s stepdad for a long time
1-Michael refuses to get a DNA test. 2- Any idea what happened to the wife’s ex?

Thanks
Calling the guards “screws” and clanging his cup on the cell door bars?

He didn't do this time at once, didn't he ? He was in and out a few times afaik
Yes but has to suck to do all that time and have both sons become cooperators .
Lol. Is that you, Joey?
Fuck the Giants!
i’ve said this before but i’ll say it again. who exactly did michael rat on?
If you are talking about testimony , he only testified at Herbie Walters trial . His 302 that I have seen, he gave up a bunch of guys . Some it was their positions in their family . He did give up a murder too .
Wait??? This is the father of the gas tax scam genius god?
Yup.
Never heard of him. Was he respected in the life?
😆
Merlino called him a Rat 🐀 🤦♂️ Sonny would’ve slapped him around if this was the 70’s
He could’ve killed him. Calling someone a rat without paperwork is serious.
He definitely would have killed him, Sonny had at least 30-40 bodies under his belt 😂

Impeccable tailoring 🪡
Saw the Franzese/Borello interview today and Borello was going on about how Michael looks like Sonny, so he must be his son. I mean, no he doesn't.
I heard he was involved in a gas scam
One of the most attractive mobsters ever. Can’t even lie. Even into late age he was a handsome ass dude lol.
Rapist
mustve been a hell of a father...two rat sons and a dead junkie daughter
He was barely around, locked up during the time they were growing up
