His real name was Anthony "Tony Plate" Plata I think. He was born in 1913 and was a longtime enforcer/solider in the Gambino crew. In the 60's and 70's he operated mostly out in Miami as a loanshark. He was basically a psycho and he was known as "The PitBull". In the late 60's he got in a altercation with a debtor and he threatened to bit chunks out of his face. There are some really interesting stories about how he set up shop in the Diplomat Hotel. In 1974 he murdered Charles "Charlie Bear" Calise after dispute from loansharking and because they thought he was an informer. Neil dellacroce supposedly ordered the hit. In May 1979 Neil and Plate were indicted for the murder. In August 1979 Plate disappeared. Willie Boy Johnson was supposedly the one who killed Plate along with assiatance from Ruggiero and maybe Gotti.
