Description
YouTuber Anthino Russo, a/k/a “Hootie” Russo, a former low-level drug dealer from Queens, NY, claims that he is a former Gambino crime family associate. He also claims that he was never a government cooperator.
RAT FICTION presents the facts about this delusional pathological liar’s shady past, his 2011 RICO case that was mired in misconduct, and proof that he ate the government’s moldy cheese. As well as how Hootie provided information against his lifelong friends, his beloved former brother-in-law Todd LaBarca, and a 2002 murder, yet still thought he could confront accused former Philadelphia mob boss Joey Merlino, and got snuffed, at the 2025 Feast of San Gennaro.
Plus: how Hootie lied to the government, and about a highly respected former Federal Prosecutor from his case, who also spread lies about his cooperators.
This short book is one of several prequels being published in advance of a larger true crime book and docu-series project regarding, amongst other things, lying government informants, corrupt FBI Agents, and prosecutorial misconduct, titled: RAT FICTION.
