He was originally with Philly under Dominic Lolly Luciano. He blamed Tony Bananas for setting up Lolly to be killed by the Campisis. He was either going to kill Tony Bananas or get killed, so Gerry Catena talked to Angelo Bruno and the Genovese took him in. He was eventually made and put under Lodi Pet Laplaca. When Laplaca died his crew was split between Tino and Steaky Gatto with Tino getting the waterfront in Newark.
