Hi first time poster, long time lurker.

I can't claim plaudits solely for this, although I did put an official request in for his FBI file around 18 months ago after becoming intrigued by this enigmatic and infamous character post reading Donnie Brasco.

I forgot about said request, and have received no response, until I was browsing google search results yesterday, and lo-and-behold guess what was on page 2!

It was released just over a month ago and in keeping with other mobster files, is redacted and bowdlerized to a frustrating degree.

That notwithstanding, it still contains some interesting info on associates including an individual called "Billy Paradise" (who was apparently at least connected with the Genovese's if not a member)his "legit" business enterprises and record are also included plus a few bad quality photos are also included as well as Lefty Ruggerio's rap sheet.

It's pretty extensive, and I have had little time to fully examine it due to work so if anyone turns up any interesting bits please feel free to share.

NB Ol' Tony would have turned 86 a few days back!
