Organized crime figures have many colorful nicknames...Eddie the Killer, Sammy the Assassin, Dopey Benny, Peg-Leg Jimmy, Three-Finger Brown, and so on.
Another popular nickname was “Lucky.”
The four hoods below each had this nickname. Two operated in New York City, one in Buffalo, while the fourth guy operated in New Jersey.
By this time you guys know what Malavita means when he says, “You know the drill.”
Your job is to identify each man by listing his REAL “first and last name” and match the (letter) of his nickname with the corresponding (number) of the area he was affiliated with. For instance, you could say C-2, and his real name was Frank Russo.
Have at it fellas. Let’s see how well you know mobsters and their nicknames.
A) Lucky

C) Lucky

1) New York, NY
2) New York, NY
3) Buffalo, NY
4) Newark, NJ

IMO, this particular question isn't all that hard, but, since no one has ventured a guess yet, I'll give out one answer, the one I feel is most difficult, ok. A-4 was a guy from Newark, New Jersey named Louis (Lucky) Percello, of the Genovese Family. You will definitely nail the other three guys if you just think about the question a bit. Especially the others from NYC...they're a cakewalk.

- Malavita nailed two and I revealed one...the 4th was "Lucky" Perna, a soldier with Steve Magaddino up in Buffalo. Here was the full breakdown... Lucky of Buffalo was Anthony Perna (Magaddino) Lucky of New York City was Salvatore Lucania (the one and only) Lucky of NYC was Philip Giaccone (Bonanno) Lucky of NJ was Louis Percello (Genovese)
