Do you know who Mickey Generoso is (the guy next to him)? Can't find much about him.
He's retired. Chucky took over his crew from what I understand.
Mickey literally has to be almost a hundred years old now. But he was a fucking powerhouse in his day.
Just like Sit said (by the way, welcome to the forum Sit) Mickey lived in Brooklyn and was a huge numbers operator. At least in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.
His father, Vincenzo "Jimmy" Generoso had also been a captain, a powerful one, probably already back when Luciano led the Family. Mickey took over his father´s crew sometime in the late 1960s. According to informants, his father ran a large bookmaking operation out of the Belvedere Bar on 2nd Avenue in East Harlem.
The murdered Genovese member Sally "Burns" Granello was at one point member of this crew. When arrested in 1964 for rape, Granello received a severe reprimand from Jimmy Generoso and it was said that Granello beat the rape charges by paying off the victim´s mother.
When Granello was murdered, it was said that the hit was made with the approval of the Generosos, father and son.
PB, the chucky you mentioned, is it possibly Chucky Tuzzo?
