There was talk about homosexual in the "life" a week ago, here is another guy killed partly because he was a homosexual, Flounderhead Visconti. I remember reading about this killing in the "Brotherhood" coincidently or not Visconti was shot in the penis among other places. His brother was a Gambino associate who became an informer for the FBI and set up a huge swag operation that resulted in getting Nicky Corozzo pinched. Reading the case against Amuso, people say Casso was nuts, but Amuso wasn't shy when it came to having a guy killed.
The following year, Luchese family associates Al Visconti and Larry Taylor were murdered in February and March 1991, respectively. According to D'Arco, Visconti and Taylor, in concert with Facciola, were suspected of informing authorities in California that D'Arco's son had murdered one Anthony DiLapi, and of plotting to kill several Luchese family members including D'Arco and his son. D'Arco also explained that Amuso [**15] thought Visconti was a disgrace to the Luchese family because he had a reputation of engaging in homosexual acts in prison. Amuso and Casso ordered D'Arco to arrange Visconti's and Taylor's murder, which he did. D'Arco said that when Amuso learned of Visconti's killing, he sent word indirectly to D'Arco that he was pleased that the murder was carried out so quickly.
