His son, Salvatore, became a caporegime. He was involved in one of the largest consumer frauds in American history. The plan involved internet users looking for adult content, enticing them to enter their credit card information for “free” trials, and then later charging them a monthly fee. Complaints from victims caught the attention of the U.S. Justice Department. By February 2004, the entire Salvatore crew had been arrested. Federal prosecutors estimate that the Gambinos grossed approximately $500 million from the phone cramming operation. He was sentenced to two years in prison and released in 2008. [6]
