--------

In this VladTV interview, Gene Borrello opens up about his longtime friend and mentor John Alite following Alite’s New Jersey arrest on charges tied to extortion, loansharking, terroristic threats, and related allegations. Borrello, a former Bonanno associate with ties to the Gambino crime family world, discusses how Alite helped him transition after prison and build a presence through social media. He also reflects on Alite’s role as a city councilman, the public backlash over his criminal past, and why he believes prosecutors may treat the case more seriously because of that position. The conversation covers hard money loans, alleged threats over unpaid debts, RICO concerns, and the lasting stigma facing ex-mob figures. Borrello also revisits old-school street rules in Howard Beach, Queens and Ozone Park, offering context on loan sharking, vouching, and violence in organized crime circles.
