The day Hickey flipped his wig! - 02/23/21 08:17 PM
One of the more interesting Genovese powers in the 1960s-1980s era, was Anthony (Hickey) Di Lorenzo.
He made millions for himself, and his Genovese Family bosses.... until one day, Hickey flipped his wig!

Good one, NYMafia. I remember reading about Hickey in Al D'Arco's book, it's great to put a face to the name and get more insight into his life.

Good read.
Another good one to profile would be Carlie diPietro. Was a big time drug guy out of the east village. Major breeding ground for some of the biggest movers and shakers in lcn. Had a club on second Avenue I believe. What a different neighborhood it is today. He got killed and I remember chin talking about it, seemed like he felt bad for the guys son due to father getting killed and gave the son a pass for some shit he got into
