 Welcome to the Original Gangsters podcast. I'm your host Scott Bernstein. We want to do a kind of a double duty here. We're going to correct some past false information that we were reporting. And then we're going to also report some relatively new information that's coming from the same source. So this is regarding the Lucchese mob administration. We were calling it a shuffle or a merry-go-round based on what former Lucchese soldier John Penise had said in a Q&A session on his sit-down news podcast on YouTube. But he came out and clarified. Originally it looked like he was saying that Paddy Redd Del Russo had become an acting boss for a couple years in place of Big Mike DeSantis. But that was not true. But what is true, I guess, is that according to John Penise, Paddy Redd, who was the under-boss starting in about 2017 via an administration shift ordered from prison by Big Amuso, who ordered one sitting administration out and another sitting administration in. The administration that was coming in was Big Mike DeSantis, Paddy Del Russo, and Anthony Simone. But John Penise, who was the person that gave the fence this information in the first place about that change in the administration, and seems to be really plugged in. He's saying now that Paddy Redd, not only was he not acting boss ever, but he's no longer the acting under-boss or the under-boss. John is claiming that he'll come out in the next week or so and give some more details and some more context to why Paddy Del Russo got either voluntarily or involuntarily removed from his under-boss spot. But it looks like that's the big piece of news, the accurate piece of news that's coming out of this kind of confusing Lucchese news cycle. But it looks like, according to John Penise, Paddy Redd, Del Russo is no longer in the administration. So we'll wait to hear what that means. But just to clarify again, Big Mike DeSantis never stepped down, was never, well we had said before they didn't step down. But it looked like he had had to kind of take, had been on the sideline for a couple of years based on what we were interpreting Penise saying in that Q&A. But now he clarified it. Big Mike has been in the boss slot, acting boss slot now since 2017. He's born on seven years now. And it was an inaccurate statement to say that he wasn't the boss for a short period of time and that Paddy had taken the spot. But now we're learning that Paddy is presumably back to his captain post. He's a guy that goes back in this crime family back to the Goodfellows crew, that big poly vario crew out of Brooklyn, and is a guy that really juiced in, did some significant time, big in the airport rackets back in the day, juiced into the unions. Knows a lot of guys around the country. So we'll see what happens with that. But just to clarify, Big Mike DeSantis, still the boss, never left the boss's seat. But Paddy Del Russo, aka Paddy Red, who became acting under boss in 2017, there were rumors that he became full under boss in 2020. At some point in the last three or four years, he left that position is no longer in it. And we will wait to see who fills that slot and why John Kinesi tells us that Paddy Red is no longer the acting under boss or the under boss in the case of crime family.
