Overlooked men of the mafia.

List your guys in this thread.

Don't hear much about Carmine Lombardozzi when he was supposedly the biggest earner alive in his prime.

Not much information lately about Joseph Tomasello, Salvatore Avellino and Aniello Migliore (especially the first one).

Joe N. Gallo, Gambino consigliere
And I also agree about Carmine Lombardozzi

Jimmy "Blue Eyes" Alo

They called him "The King of Wall Street", "The Italian Meyer Lansky?"

Definitely Carmine Lombardozzi i'd also say Jerry Catena and Tony Strollo.

al tournabene

he was helping aiuppa make people and nobody even knew who he was

Vincent "Jimmy Blue Eyes" Alo he had operations down in Florida right in the Lansky days?

Also Toddo Aurello Sammy the Bull's old mentor or Tony "Dope" DelSanter from Cleveland I always wanted to know a lot more about them

That's him! Miami, Vegas and NYC. Classy guy too and of coarse East Harlem born and raised!

Jimmy Higgins Palmieri and Joe Polverino. Both as pure gangster as you can get and no ones ever heard of them.

"the indian"?

Yep indian and higby.

What about "Mush"? Good guy, long run.

He left a ton behind for his family! U can bet they will never starve.

Thats Jimmy Higgins in that photo of Tino Fiumara walking with a guy that's identified as Joe Adonis. People keep saying it's Adonis or his son. But it's Jimmy Higgins.

Higgins could hold up toe to toe with Tino before he got made. Guy had tons of respect. Guy had huge balls. Got slapped by a made belleville guy, him and his bro went and shot the fucking guy. He didnt die and they all got away with it hahahaha.

John Gotti

Have you been reading Pic´s posts overthere?

Jimmy blue eyes was deffinitly a smart man, speaking of East Harlem and overlooked guys how about Farby?

Good guy, he was loved by the ILA guys. He didn't becomes a big player till later in life. Had a good short run.

Get a life Golum! A word of advice, a little rogain will go a long way for you buddy.

I don't know if you guys have seen this nor do i know how legit it is but he to know a couple of guys your talking about.

And then there's this too calling bullshit on what he said.

Who is that? Hear the name all the time

I don´t need Rogain to be successful, buddy.
A word of advice, when someone is asking you a friendly question, don´t get defensive. It doesn´t suit you. In fact, it hurts you and your original argument.

Thanks for this

Andimo Pappadia who was big time in luchesse family in their prime but you don't hear much about him. Another east Harlem guy

His brother Michael was big as well , unfortunately both were executed gangland style

How long ago? Must be old? No?

Wait, was he the HUGE dope dealer?

Not a friendly question. By pic you mean the poster picasso who is supposed to be a genovese soldier If he knows the story about him, good for him, but im sure thousands of ppl across nj know that story as well. Please, if your not to busy cleaning his pipes, ask him what the guy who got shots name was. The man i heard the story from (who is a honest blue collar worker btw, not some wanna be mob guy) doesnt know. Unlike you, i do not browse tirelessly around multiple sites. I have been told hes the real deal and all that shit, but in the one thing ive read that hes said on here doesnt lead me to believe this guy is all knowing. Until im proved wrong, i think the opposite. Just some guy who likes to toot his own horn. Sound familiar mr success? Gloating about your success on the internet doesnt impress me, or make me envy you. But please continue to act like a know it all successful hard ass. It would make my day!

And richie the boot boiardo . He was about as big as you get in NJ

Or Angelo "Gyp" DeCarlo

Frankie died very young and would have made a great boss except for the snap decision he made about Ralphie. That was a shame. He got talked into it but that was no excuse. A real shame.

It's funny, reading Farby's name just brought something to mind. All you ever hear about is how the higher up Westside guys all live to be a hundred. Well, there's some truth to that, but it ain't set in stone. Farby, Joe Dente and Sammy Black all died very young, in their fifties. And all three of those guys were heavyweights, skipper or higher.

To think those slick old Ginzo's almost pulled it off! Was it jealousy? I don't buy the skimming BS?

Who talked him into hitting coppola?

If I say a guy from Throggs Neck will be upset with me. Maybe Hairy knows?

Hes right though, I've learned during my time here that some things don't belong on the boards

That's fine i understand.

Ralphie wan't ambitious enough to steal .

Who are some of the Genovese guys from Throgs Neck? LOL

didnt Barney ok capollas hit?

NO! Not even close. Listening to that Rat Peluso will confuse anyone though. They were best friends Barney wouldn't have done that.

i kno i heard they were real tight but still heard he ok'd it bc of stealing....but you may b right sounds sketchy...seems like when anyone wants anyone gone without reason they all say "hes stealin"


oh, overlooked guy-Gerry and his brother Jr Chilli. old school as they come

I think that guy Dominic Cataldo from the Colombos in the '70s doesn't get enough infamy.

I don´t need to ask Pic who the guy who got shot was. I know that already. Never spoke to Pic and never interacted with him. When I got on these Mafia forums, Pic wasn´t posting anymore. And just for your information, I´m far more successful in real life than on the interenet.

You seem extremely touchy. Why is that? Your buddy East is back so what´s the fuzz? And for the record, your insults doesn´t bother me at all. Especially not when coming from somebody who acts tough behind his computer, typing while sitting on the shitter. Why waste time calling me a tireless browser, bookworm fa***t and a pipe cleaner? Is it supposed to be funny? Did I miss the humor? Anyone on here thinks its funny besides you Skinny?

PB, help me clear this up please. Do you know if Farby had a brother named Ralph or was Ralph an uncle of his?

Haha. I knew there was something, Hairy
You can bet these clowns get their info from somewhere, and throw it off like they know shit themselves.

Yeah andimo was in dope way back and the garment district

He was close with Vito Genovese

Andimo was killed in 1976 and was 62 i think

Michael was killed in late 80's

Both were from east Harlem but yeah a long long time ago

My granpa was cousins with them and grew up with Andimo . He passed last year
At 94

Al Tornabene
Turk Torello

Was this website made by the infamous poster "Batman"?

I sent you a pm.

I don't know, it seems as though there saying this fellow Lehan is that poster on the real-deal Picasso, but i just know what i read. Just thought it was instesting that they did the interview and then that popped up calling bullshit and he does seem to over-state his importence so it's up to you to deciede.

I used to post on Real Deal back in the day, 98-02, and there were two camps of people. Those that were 100% certain Picasso was Lenehan and others that were 100% sure he wasn't. Some people were obsessed about it. Hence, the website. One poster, IIRC, was named Batman and he stalked Picasso on line and was sure Picasso was Lenehan and would go out of his way to tell everyone.

I didn't really care, but there were a ton of people that did.

Yeah it makes no difference to me who he is or isn't. Just thought the interview was a bit instresting.

Exactly LCN! And they all google til their fingers bleed...

I don't think that's fair to say. I've spoken to Skinny and he knows his stuff. And for what I know I don't think he is on the RD forum.

I like u hairy so I got no beef, just sayin

Respect to all

Tony lived in Warren, Ohio. Very friendly with Big Dom from Youngstown. He and a really smart guy that owned a pizza joint, downtown Warren, kept a lid on Mahoning Valley for decades.

Shouldn't make statments like this, especially when you don't know if they're the truth or not, and when it comes to skinny I can assure you guys that you're both wrong.. But I guess he struck a nerve with you. Lil keyboard warriors over there jerking eachother off.

I don't care either but, for the record, Batman was right.

Was he? That's funny. IIRC, Batman got kicked off those boards back in the day for his actions about Picasso being Lenehan.

Were you a member back then? IIRC, LTH met with Picasso once or more, or at least said they did.

How was it confirmed?

Why, because he told you in a PM he is a gangster? I'm fed up with people on these boards acting like they're gangsters and somehow know everything about the mafia because THEY SAY SO. Fact of the matter is, you don't post info like that on a board for outsiders to see. Some guys, like Hairy pointed out, get their info from RD and pass it own as their own to seem more credible. It's been done a ton of times and it gets boring...

Then, guys like Ivy and Hairy and whoever with knowledge get shitted on because they write informative posts with sources.

Actually first off I know skinny outside this board, personally. And actually no he's never claimed to be a "gangster" to anyone. Just you holy internet researchers assuming things again. Also skinny is not even a member on the rd forum and I can assure you would never sit there reading endless pages of bullshit written by some other loser so he can pass it off as his own to try and impress nerds like you and hairy, who like to act like their above everyone else and no one elses information is valid. god forbid could it ever be possible that someone on here could possible know things that these internet mob researcher nerds don't and it can still possibly be truth? I know you guys done think so, its like your egos get hurt that its a possibility that someone has more information than you do, and its also information you can't find on the internet (which in your eyes automatically make it false). As for hairy getting shitted on? If I'm not mistaken he's the one above me on this page who decided to shit on skinny for no reason, with you jumping in right behind him to make sure you sucked up all the lil dribbles of cum left on his lil dick after he got done jerking off to his new stack of mob news papers he printed off google.

You are a poet, buddy.

STOP THE SHIT!!!!!!!

James "Jimmy Brown" Failla.
Ran the garbage for Gambino's for how many years? Was at Castellano's white house when the bug was active on many occasions, but never uttered an incriminating word. To me, low key is being in a high-level mob meeting at the boss house, and not getting caught on tape.

old man dibella of the colombos

Mario Guerreri, they called him the butcher. His name appears in some FBI files I have. He was supposedly a rotten human being

SENTER!!!!

Mario Gigante

I'll probably come up with since I love studying the more quiet mobsters who are successful at not getting caught as opposed to the homocidal maniacs (Demeo, Destefano, Tommy Karate) or flashy figures (Gotti, Costello).

How about "Johnny Dio", aka Giovanni Dioguardi, ran the Lucchese rackets in the garment center and was a master at union and white-collar extortion. If it wasn't for the Victor Riesel attack and if he had not been under indictment for bankruptcy fraud at the time, I wonder if he would have been made boss after Tommy Lucchese died. The character of "Johnny Friendly" in On the Waterfront was based off of Dio.

Great pick up Tony Pro, +1

I thought Johnny Friendly was supposed to be based on Annastasia, or on his brother.
