The usual Mafia fictions are at work, Oli. Some accounts list Crazy Joe as a "caporegime," but he was clarly subordinate to his elder brother, Larry, who headed the Gallo brothers crew and was their rep at the infamous meeting at Brooklyn's Sahara Lounge, where he was nearly killed.

E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
