Wasn't there some speculation that Leonetti's dad was a New Jersey Genovese guy? Or was that Scarfo, sr.'s dad? Or am I just spewing out hallucinations.
The rumors on the net for years was that Scarfo's father Philip was with the Genovese. But that was 100% bullshit. Phil Leonetti said Philip Scarfo was 100% legit and his son Nicky used to put him down for it saying he was satisfied to live the life of a jerkoff laborer. After the family moved to AC Scarfo's father worked at the Chalfonte-Haddon Hall hotel.
Leonetti said Phil Scarfo was a great guy....obviously not like his homicidal son Nicky.
So basically the answer is no. Neither Leonetti's father or Scarfo's were with the Genovese.
