The depth of the Mafia's involvement in the vice industry was ubiquitous before Thomas Dewey sent Lucky Luciano up the river in 1936. DiBernardo's mentor was Mickey Zaffarano, a Bonnano Soldier who's office was on the 2nd floor of the Pussycat Theatre at 1600 Broadway in Times Square. Then you had Matty "The Horse" Ianello representing the Genovese interests in peep shows and topless dancers. Paul DiBella and Robert Dibernardo for the Gambino's and Joe Brochinni rounding out the for the Lucchese’s. Ed "The Skull" Murphy and Mike Umbers were the associates doing the dirty work of human trafficking and pedophilia production and eliminating unwanted "loose ends".
Oh please, pedophilia, human trafficking, how about BS? The 2 biggest money makers for the mafia were gambling and unions, with loans in the mix. The sex business involvement was minimal and almost non-existent, until porn became an issue. Then the FBI and others started saying they were "Deeply involved" The internet with sites like Bitterqueen fueled the lie. Ianiello was barley involved and his part was in the real estate end of it. He had one club under his protection (The Horseshoe) and how deeply he was involved is sketchy if you look past the surface. Pedophilia involvement was not there, is not there, and is just put out by people angry about the Godfather movie or some other stupid thing.
