Of all the post-Capone era Chicago gangsters, we know the most of Tony Spilotro. Even the public does as well, with the release of Casino. We know all about his job protecting the casino skim from being skimmed. But if you check the official and non-official documents, there were apparently 5 casino employees murdered as part of his job. Are there any details as to motive? Identities? Never been able to find any.
There's a similar situation with Angelo LaPietra, a capo who was also involved in skimming. Apparently he had this horrifying method of murder involving some kind of bondage suffocation on delinquent gamblers, but no bodies or victims have ever been found/named. I'm also interested in his control of auto rackets, which may have been his or may have been Albert Tocco's, whom like the other 2, was also absolutely insane.
EDIT: In fact, if anyone else is interested in the Outfit, feel free to start a PM conversation.
Bondage/suffocation? lol doubtful. Angelo and Jimmy were simply hoods not psychopaths. They called Angelo "the hook" because he would get his "hooks" into you and your wallet. He would come and "hook" guys who owed him money. Most street guys called him "The Bull." When he ran Bridgeport, Angelo would have Specs DiCaro drive him around the neighborhood to maintain a visible presence.
