Profaci was humiliated in '61 when the Gallos kidnapped almost his entire hierarchy, narrowly missing The Old Man himself. Profaci had to go to the Commission to get them released, then he welshed on the deal again. Eldest brother Larry went to a "peace" meeting at the Sahara Lounge in Brooklyn, where he was garroted and almost killed, allegedly by Carmine Persico, which is how he earned the nickname "The Snake." The NY Daily News published an unforgettable photo of Larry in police custody, with a big red mark around his neck (I'm sure you have a copy of that photo in your files). It was the basis of the Pentangeli/Rosoto Brothers beef in GFII.


Thank you Turnbull. I think he was into tomato paste with Mamma Mia.
