Only two gay gangsters in history??? I don't think so. In recent American Mafia annals (no pun intended), John D'Amato and Tony Francesehi were gay. A gay rumor centered around Da Bull for a while, but I don't believe it--probably circulated by those he ratted out.
Q. What legitimate business did Joe Bonanno own in Wisconsin?

A. The sinking of the Normandy in New Yorks docks. It's possible that the sinking was actually the work of some of Charlie's boys to get the government to go to him for help. But that's another story.

Q. What event lead to the eventual retirement of Johnny Torrio?

I am so not good at this kind of trivia, because I am not as knowledgeable as the rest of you. However, I have a good question I want to ask, so I will take a stab in the dark at this one.

LMAO Are you kidding??? Ha ha. Now everytime the question is to name the legitimate business of a gangster, I'll say "olive oil".

Ok, this is probably gonna be gravy for most of you, but here goes:

What gangster was nicknamed "The Waiter" and if you know, what gangster was he connected with?"

Paul "The Waiter" Ricca was associated with the Chicago mob. He ran it for a while after Frank Nitti committed suicide. (TIS: He waited on you, me, plawrence, SC, JG and Lori last September at Carmines's last September .)
