Former mob guy turned informant Michael “Cookie” D’Urso wrote an open letter to members of the Genovese family, warning them against trying to get revenge against him. D’Urso’s testimony against the Genovese family reportedly helped the government convict over 70 mobsters and affiliates of the crime family.
The 49-year-old said, “While I still have some respect for the life I once lived and the life that some of my old friends and acquaintances still choose to live, rest assured I WILL NEVER GET CAUGHT SLEEPING AGAIN. I am ready, able and willing to defend my family and myself. Also, I have very capable ex-law enforcement friends with gun permits who are with me all the time. And don’t forget, there are cameras everywhere today that can track people to and from any location.”
Along with that, he said “I am ready, able and willing to defend my family and myself. A bat and a knife won’t help you so you will have to use a gun.”
This comes after the informant reportedly caught word about individuals speaking on trying to figure where he and his family were living today after assuming a new identity.
