Frank Imbrogno ran illegal gambling and bookmaking operations in his Mount Vernon, NY neighborhood. He was busted more than a few times between 1931 and 1946.

At the time of that last arrest in '46, Frank was running an operation from a service station and two adjacent buildings. Not coincidentally, right on the heels of that bust, Anthony "Chick" D'Amore, a Genovese crime family associate, was arrested and charged with running a multi-city bookmaking ring centered in Mount Vernon.

The operation was bringing in $20,000-$30,000 a day ($218,000-$327,000 in today's dollar). A ledger containing names of prominent citizens, local politicians and police officers on the take mysteriously disappeared from evidence during the course of the trial.

20 years later, in 1967, Anthony "Chick" D'Amore was busted again for running a multi-million dollar gambling operation out of the very same service station that Frank Imbrogno had been working out of.
