 Even mob paid up The Brotherhood is so feared that even made members of the mob pay its leaders tribute behind bars, prosecutors said. As early as 1983, another declassified FBI report reveals, mobsters who "were powerful on the streets but at the mercy of any nut with a knife while in prison" were being shaken down by Brotherhood thugs. In return for protection, the report noted, mobsters would "provide money, drugs and assistance" to Aryan Brotherhood members on the outside. Eventually, however, the gang and the mob realized that each had something to gain from the other. By the late 1990s, the Brotherhood's top (and now indicted) leaders - David Sahakian, Michael (Big Mac) McElhiney, Barry (the Baron) Mills and Tyler (the Hulk) Bingham - allegedly had established ties with Gotti, jailed mob druglord Oreste Abbamonte and former Philadelphia crime boss Nicodemo (Little Nicky) Scarfo. Gotti turned twice to the Aryan Brotherhood to carry out murder contracts, according to law enforcement sources and court papers: first in 1996, to kill a man who slugged him in the federal pen at Marion, Ill., and again in 1997, to vent his wrath against Gambino consigliere Frank Locascio, whom he believed had turned against him. Abbamonte, a Gambino crime family drug kingpin from Port Washington, L.

I., allegedly ran a jailhouse heroin ring using prison telephones. He shared profits with the Aryan Brotherhood. A Justice Department audit obtained by The News complains that Abbamonte's phone privileges were "not limited in any way" in the federal pen at Allenwood, Pa. Among the 28 people on his approved phone list was former inmate Ronald (McKool) Slocum, an Aryan Brotherhood lieutenant who allegedly hooked up released gang members with criminals on the outside and served as a pipeline to the Mafia. On Dec. 30, 1996, Slocum mailed money from Abbamonte to Mills, who then forwarded it to Bingham, according to the federal indictment. A reputed member of the Brotherhood's three-man commission, Bingham is accused of ordering the murder and beatings of gang enemies and dropouts. Scarfo, serving 69 years behind bars at the federal prison in Atlanta, said to be concerned about prison protection rackets and drug trafficking, allegedly communicated with Mills through coded letters to an Aryan Brotherhood point person - petite, brown-haired Marty Foakes. Foakes, among the 40 indicted, is on the lam.
