Was he involved with any Tampa guys when he was trying to get into the valet business in Tampa? Scaglione? His child passing is terrible.
Yes, I believe he was or at least the Gambino’s took over what was left of the Trafficante family at the time.
I am not sure if Alite, was still with Gambino’s in Fl or he was freelancing.
He got chased out of Queens, that’s equivalent to shelling a made guy.
You chase him out of the neighborhood, and he is not welcomed back anymore.
Today that doesn’t really mean much however, back then getting Chases was a big deal.
You were looked upon as a “LEPPER” shunned by almost all, a lot of legit guys and even the women, ALOT of them wanted nothing to do with you.
