Thanks for the updates I'll check this out later. Why was/is the borgata called The Arm?
Daniel “Boots” Sansanese Sr. was serving time in prison in the early 1950s. “While in prison, a close friendship was made with his cellmate, Joseph Fino. Through the years after their release, these two men became known as the ‘arm’ or ‘muscle’ for the organization.” Buffalo then was known as the Arm. This is from the Rizzo book and he credits a 1963 Currier Express article.
