Gasoline Scheme was big, but i think it originated in Brighton Beach they started working with Colombo's and Lucchese's.
He wrongly got credit for running it and starting it, when in fact it was The Russians who did both. Franzese got the big publicity for it due to being in the mafia and the son of John Franzese. I wish there was more information on what the others in it got as to money made and prison sentences.
I also read the first providing bootleg gasoline in NYC were actually Greek and Turkish immigrants.
