Youd have to be Ray Charles not to see it. —former New Jersey capo Ron Previte, on the mob today As a cop, Ron Previte was corrupt. As a mobster he was brutal. And in his final role, as a confidential informant to the FBI, Previte was deadly. The Last Gangster is his story —the story of the last days of the Philadelphia Mob, and of the clash of generations that brought it down once and for all. For 35 years Ron Previte roamed the underworld. A six–foot, 300–pound capo in the Philadelphia–South Jersey crime family, he ran every mob scam and gambit from drug trafficking and prostitution to the extortion of millions from Atlantic City. In his own words, Every day was a different felony. By the 1990s, Previte, an old–school workhorse, found himself answering to younger mob bosses like Skinny Joe Merlino, who seemed increasingly spoiled, cocky, and careless. Convinced that the honor of the business was gone, he became the FBIs secret weapon in an intense and highly personalized war on the Philadelphia mob. Operating with the same guile, wit, and stone–cold bravado that had made him a force in the underworld—and armed with only a wiretap secured to his crotch—Previte recorded it all; the murder, the mayhem, and even the story of mob boss Ralph Natales affair with his youngest daughters best friend. Previte and his FBI cronies eventually prevailed, securing the convictions of his nemeses, Skinny Joey Merlino and Ralph Natale. As a hustler and former dirty cop from South Jersey, Ron Previte was one day solicited by the FBI to work undercover in helping them take down the new and unimproved Philly Mafia family in the middle of a violent power struggle. Joe Merlino, aka Skinny Joey, was the young and flashy South Philly wiseguy on the make and John Stanfa was the old school, Sicilian-bred boss chosen by the New York Commission to bring the troubled family in the city of brotherly love back together. The Last Gangster is a very entertaining book well written by the legendary George Anastasia but if youve read The Goodfella Tapes youll be very familiar with the details of the mob war. Besides Previte, the main difference here is one Ralph Natale, a sleazy and bumbling ex-con who quickly takes the reign of the family after his prison release. The at-times unbelievable and hilariously dark slice of American crime works well in a book, especially when penned by Anastasia.

  • Bad to Worse for Peter Gotti
    Bad To Worse For Peter Gotti http://www.ganglandnews.com/members/column379.htm April 29, 2004 By Jerry Capeci Bad To Worse For Peter Gotti It’s been a hell of a month for Peter Gotti. His longtime paramour, who had remained anonymous despite her daily attendance at his racketeering trial last year, publicly championed her love for him, then committed suicide after he dressed her down for causing such a big stir. His angry wife threw a monkey wrench into his divorce plans and asked a Brooklyn Federal Court judge to lock him up and throw away the key as punishment for labor racketeering on the Brooklyn waterfront. The judge gave the 64-year-old convicted mob boss nine years and four months. In Manhattan, more crimes – construction industry extortion and plotting to kill turncoat gangster Salvatore (Sammy Bull) Gravano – now threaten to send him away for life. What’s more, while an underling codefendant in the Manhattan case, capo Louis (Big Lou) Vallario, who was charged with taking part in a 1989 murder for then-high-flying Dapper Don John Gotti, just wangled a sweet plea deal, sources say the feds intend to play hardball with Peter and four other defendants. 1 of 5 11/5/2009 9:58 PM Bad To Worse For Peter Gotti http://www.ganglandnews.com/members/column379.htm “We’re really not interested in resuming plea discussions with any of the remaining defendants; we’re preparing for trial,” one member of the prosecution team told Gang Land yesterday. Vallario, (left) whose sentencing guidelines called for 24 to 30 years, faces a maximum of 13 years, according to an agreement worked out last week by defense lawyer James DiPietro and federal prosecutors under U.S.

  • “Special Issue” of the Value Examiner Is Devoted to Challenges in Valuation
    This year, the “Special Issue” of The Value Examiner is devoted to challenges in valuation. We all know that, as Americans, we have a constitutional right to a fair and unbiased hearing when we are accused of a crime. In the attached case study we look at the role of the expert witness faced with the challenge of explaining a defendant’s business practices when that defendant has all but been tried in the court of public opinion. This case in point is one which involved known members of a Philadelphia-based crime family, a businessman with legitimate successes, but with unsavory ties to the crime family, racketeering charges, and an accountant from New Jersey, Martin Abo. This is his story. We hope this article will make you think about how the role of a valuation professional is changing even as the core values stay relevant and important. Nancy McCarthy Senior Editor The Value Examiner Nancy McCarthy has been the senior editor of The Value Examiner since 2013. She is a writer, editor, and marketing professional with twenty-five years’ experience in financial services. She is also a teacher; she has taught business courses at NYU and New York Institute of Technology, where she earned her MA.
