It was thru your articles, I learned of the Colombos presence in the Pornography, Salvatore Profaci and then Anthony Peraino. Was there anybody involved in prostitution during this era?
Not typically. Prostitution is something that for many years mob guys in general stayed away from. Back in the 1920s etc. they did that sort of thing more.
I will say that guys like Matty Ianniello, Mickey Zaffarano, etc.. did dabble in that stuff from afar. A guy from Brooklyn named Sally Crash actually ran cathouses and also shook a few down in Manhattan by strong-arm.
But its not as prevalent as the G would have the public believe it is with mob guys. Let's face it, that end of it is a sloppy, dirty business. Whores are whores. Wiseguys are generally not pimps.
Even Porno per se is cleaner.
