I dont know; the grammar and capitalization is kinda out of character and on the other forum he nearly always ended his posts with 'Kenji' as opposed to 'Kenny Gallo'. Meh, ban-hammered now in anycase. It's like a record.

On topic, people talk about figures 'taking over' like there's anything to take over. From the look of it, Tommy Gambino's more involved with Sicilian guys than anyone in LA. I'll reproduce here some preliminary shit on his history that I posted on RD;


Apparently Gino fucking Valenni (a 70's pop star, of all fucking people) introduced Clinton to Gambino sometime in the mid 90's.

He was about 27 in 1999/2001, putting his birth date at around 1971/1973, making him around 40/42. Still relatively young. He approached Roger Clinton seeking a commutation of his father's sentence in 1999.

He apparently used to run a company called Progressive Telecom, which placed paypones in bars, clubs, etc. His business partner in that venture was Donnie Shacks Montemanaro.

When a drug lab accused of producing ecstasy was raided in 2001, investigators put one Derek Galanis on phonetaps that apparently saw him in contact with Gambino, allegedly attempting to seek "financing from the Gambino family" (I assume sanguinary, since from what I can tell Tommy has quite little to do with NY)

He was named as a defendant in an LA small claims court case in 1998 along with online jeweller and retailer David Zinberg and one Sergey Proshak, who's crimes include failiure to register as a sex-offender.
