Daniel Marino, etc.

Any news on him since he was released? I am curious as to whether there are any clear divisions in the Gambino family between Cefalu/Cali/Cherry Hill Gambino supporters on one side and the older guard on the other (and I don't mean the Gotti guys). Is it generally accepted that Corozzo, Marino, etc. embrace the Sicilian faction? Also, what has come of that 3-man panel that was reported about a year or two ago?

I'm always interested in him and John "Jackie Nose" D'Amico since they were such important players and then nothing. Both have been out a while "the nose" since 2012 and Marino since last summer. Not sure if they had three years of supervised release or not.

Plus another name from the past Joseph "Jo Jo" Corozzo gets out in January.

Isnt DiMaria out as well ? He and Marino are neighbors in dyker heights.

He really produced with the Dolphins too

Sonny Ciccone got out two years ago.

Jackie the nose is an interesting character

Demoted to soldier when he went away, retired.

Marino & DiMaria are skippers, Jackie is a soldier, Lorenzo Mannino has his old crew (18th Ave)

Where does the Corozzo business go currently? Does DiMaria control what they had until JoJo gets out, is Blaise more involved or does he have nothing to do with anything Nicky or JoJo had?

Jimmy Dellarratta was acting for Nicky Corozzo until he got busted, maybe Dragonetti is acting? Blaise is a soldier in that crew. DiMaria has his own crew, has since the 90's, he may well be taking care of Nicky's crew as well though.

JoJo and Nicky always had separate crews so I doubt JoJo will take over Nicky's crew when he's out and off restrictions, which will be around 2018. When JoJo got bumped to consig Ronnie Trucchio got his crew.

One things for sure, he ain't getting his old consig spot back. One of the zips will probably have that, Maninno or Gambino.

Good post Tommy

speaking of ol Jimmy boy...

what kind of time did they give him for that cigarette thing with skins?

He just got probation, because of his bad health.

Louis mastrangelo got Jo jo's crew

Dom Mastrangelo got Vernace's crew, the old Scala crew.

yeah tommy , sorry got mixed up pal , that's what I meant

Helluva quarterback.

i saw jackie on 3rd and 85th outside of the chipotle on wednesday evening talking with two other guys who looked like they were straight out of central casting. i passed by and actually heard him mention something about gotti to one of the other guys, "everyone thinks that hanging out with john gotti was..." and thats all i heard. i did a double take when i heard that and instantly recgonized d'amico. kind of ironic. he looks like he hasnt aged a day compared to those pictures he was always in with gotti during the late 80s

im curious about his status and whether or not he still runs a crew. i know at one point him and cefalu were both in the administration at the same time. everyone said he was always broke... thats gotta be a relative term bc i highly doubt he is

I'll finish that sentence for you...

".....a good thing, but in reality it just brought a lot of fucking trouble."

Jackie earned but I heard he couldn't keep a dime in his pocket.. been told he was out every night drinking or at a card game..he also owed butters and frank like 200k.. he didn't have the 200k or the 4 a week with his lifestyle and gambling... hard to keep much money put away

Jackie must have earned a ton when he was acting boss, surely he hasn't blown it.

From all reports this guy doesn't want to do more time. But its like a fly and a light just doesn't want to go away probaly doesn't no anything else this guy like the deffanition of lcn. What's he 75 thats the golden years in the westside. The second he gets off probation he be all over the place again if his health is fine. Jail preserves some.

Kinda shocking the last boss to be indicted was Tommy g 7 yrs ago.

tommy, no disrespect but you got ur wires crossed a bit. louie m was an associate under jojo until later in his life, vernace was too but got a separate crew. sonny ciccone is still a captain, if i had to guess he has danny and or nicky c to thank for his stripes. just my two cents

skinny is right on about lou m. maybe 2000, 2001 he got made ..jojo and nicky is on point

Any Info about Marino early years,where he grew up,etc..?I know that he was in the 50s gang called Dahill rd Gremlins..They were based north of Kengsington,Brooklyn,does anybody have some more info on them?One of their leaders shot a Ditmas duke in 1958.

"Everyone thinks that hanging out with John Gotti was... Fun... But truth was he Fukin killed us with his non-stop demands. It weren't easy, let me tell u fellas that. He even called me Fukin CRIPPLED & I don't blame him"

he was under lombardozzi. lots of street guys under him with packages and loans, hes also a legitimate millionaire since the 90s at least.

he was put with jimmy brown along with george l and john g,and carmine's brother 's

From what this guys own family say about him I wouldn't want to get on his bad side.. Guy is ruthless. Suppose it was his wife's family really not his

bronx was carmine captain of the crew dom got?

I didn't say he wasnt! I remember kenji saying that about a year ago,that Ronnie one Arm and his kid, Vernace & Lou all came up under JoJo, like I said, Vernace got the Scala crew, then passed to Lou after he got bumped IMO

I know Ciccone's crew got broken up when he went to jail and heard few people say he's just a soldier, interesting Skinny, thanks.

Which Dom ?

Skinny, you mean Skinny Dom?

Speaking of Jimmy Brown.

Anyone think he would have made a good boss?

I have heard people say that before. Wasn't he mainly just a garbage guy? Was he that universally liked?

He would made a better boss that Gotti,that for sure I think.Very well respected and liked,at least in his neighbourhood and Im sure in the entire city too.In my opinion,Big Paul should made him boss in 85 before he was killed not Tommy Gambino.He had a big crew,and made big money with garbage.

jimmy was very sharp..knew the life as good as anyone, could have been a boss, but he was not a well liked guy, another self righteous ego.held a lot of guys back from getting made over little mistakes from their past.. underboss ..yes. devious guy.

danny m. would have been a good boss.. joe arcuri, frank loc, also, lorenzo m will make a good boss someday

I agree Bronx , Lorenzo is defo being groomed for the top spot someday , arcuri would have been a great boss , 60 odd years a gambino member from mangano through to the gotti era , it's just a shame he was 286 years old wen gotti went to the can

DannyM. being Daniel Marino right?Was he well liked,enough to be number 1?

yeah...lol..but still very sharp, so sharp pete said joe is losing it then took him out of that acting position..joe just did not want any part of the gotti mess\

\\\\\\\\\\\\

yes twice..always remember, not everyone loves you..always a faction that thinks they should have the power

just read up on Acuri, seems like the real deal, was he ever even arrested?

Marino, DiMaria, and Corozza were all very tight so they have a good working relationship crew wise ( i imagine). Marino is also very well off financially and has a nice house over in dyker heights.

danny is worth 10's of millions, those guys are close now, not before dan went to prison in 94

are corozzo's rich

not like danny

seems like marino did real well under big paul and probaly better under gotti cause he didnt take so much ive read. seems like gotti and him got along fine. theres wire taps of him saying nothing bad about sr. to kasman but saying jr could shine his shoes or something. read that guy acuri had his own little paving union/black top. i dont know for how long but im guessing he made bank for along time. marino had ins on the javitts place where comic con is.

danny got his uncles riches, then made more..but in was all carmine.. it was 1018 pavers..had the local from first day it was formed..joe a. owned bldgs. in nyc going back 80 years with his father ..

I want to say he never did prison time. Is that true?

Wiki:
"In 1991, Gravano became a government witness and implicated Failla in the 1989 Spinelli murder. In April 1993, Failla was charged with racketeering and murdering Spinelli.[6] In 1994, in a plea bargain deal, Failla pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit murder. During the sentencing phase, Failla appeared in court on crutches and his lawyer pleaded for leniency based on his client's heart problems and hypertension. Failla was sentenced to seven years in prison.[2][7]

On August 5, 1999, James Failla died of natural causes in a federal prison in Texas."

Cheers, Sonny.

Ah, good old hypertension. The old fall back option for a mobster standing in front of a judge.

I'm sure I read failla was acting boss of the gambinos for a short time in between gambino dying and castellano being elected boss

Great find, any idea when this was taken?

it's from the John H Davies book Mafia dynasty Tommy

65 degrees out in December sweet. I see these pics are kinda old I seen a recent won from probaly 5 yts back when he got arrested. So he must be back on the street. This guy is like is the last capo from probaly big pauls days. He probaly be like in retired but if he makes any money on some illegal shit you think he kicks up to however. I think yes he knows the rules. He was smart he seen rite threw Lewis kasman trying to entrap him.

Whoever.
