In the spring of 2010, Gambino capo Daniel Marino and about a dozen others were indicted for a lot of different reasons but one of the big ones was a charge for sex trafficking of a minor. From what I recall the feds tapped a soldiers phone who was driving the girls around.
Fucking hell. Kind of puts paid to that whole "men of honor" stuff you hear, eh?
True, and I'm the first guy to tear apart the myth about honor in that world. But that was an isolated incident involving a bunch of bottom feeders throwing Marino's name around. It was the exception, not the norm. The New York families were never as involved with prostitution as the Outfit guys out in Chicago. And today it's almost unheard of, trust me on that. Oh, and that mutt Hydell was related through marriage. Just so everyone knows.
