As you pursue and review the list of names on the Lansky chart, you'll notice several bona-fide mafiosi. Not just "Jimmy Blue Eyes" Alo, who was Meyer's longtime friend, partner, and Mafia benefactor, but also several relatively important "made" Genovese Family soldiers.

They include Matteo (Matty Brown) Fortunato, who later rose to a "capo" status, soldier Nicholas (Bobby Blanch) Belangi, and soldier Paolo (Paul) Marchione. Also connected to Lansky's crew was Matty's brother, Eugenio (Gene Brown) Fortunato, a top family associate.

The Fortunato brothers and Marchione were partnered and supervised gambling and other rackets around the Albany and Saratoga Springs sections of Upper NYS for Lansky and Alo. Belangi was a key operative, money courier, and the sometime driver-bodyguard for Meyer whenever he visited NYC.
