New Video Mobster - Dominick Scialo

Dominick Scialo (born July 11, 1927 - murdered 1974) known as "Mimi", was a feared and well respected capo of the Colombo crime family who ruled over Coney Island, controlling gambling, shylocking and other rackets for the Colombo family during the late 1960s until his murder in the mid 1970s. He was known to many as "The King of Coney Island"

Interesting video. Thnx for sharing.

And sorry to be so petty but the pronunciation of his name is Shee-a- lo but Italians would say it like Shah-lo

For future reference the ---Sci--- in Italian is pronounced as --shee--
Like Joe Pesci , Peh-she

--chi-- is pronounced as --key--
Valachi is pronounced Va-la-key

Luciano is pronounced as Lou-chee-ah-no


And again I'm only trying to help. I'm sure others hardly notice but if you're going to do a vid on a guy with an Italian name gotta have the name pronounced right. Even for scumbags

This guy had a short fuse..Not surprised he was killed..

Great to see some of the side stories of the big picture.

Keep em comin

Thanks

If you only knew how many folks come out of the wood work everyday telling me contradictory things of how to pronounce Italian names you would scream.

Great video once again B&B!!

I always think of Joey Cantalupo when I hear of Mimi, great storyteller..

Is Joey Cantalupo the guy in the CRIME Inc. documentary? If yeah, he tells my favourite bit in mob docs.

Holds up photo. " this guys a 300 pound gorilla but he got diarrhoea in his pants when this 100 pound 80 year old was upset with him. " holds up photo of funzi tieri

MIMI Scialo his name comes up quite a bit whenever " old " days are written about. Meant to have been a heavy drinker who ran his mouth off when drunk. Bad mouthed CARLO G and paid the price.

Interesting , never think of ITALIANS or ITALIAN AMERICANS as culture of heavy drinkers and all the obnoxious behaviour that comes with it.

What happened to Cantalupo ?

Dsd you british along with the irish had the fame or the same of being heavy drinkers, but in UK and Irland there are no abstemious people ?

Same things here,only because several mobsters was/are heavy drinkers doesn't seems that italian culture is " una cultura di ubriaconi" (a heavy drinkers culture).

In 1978 after 6 y he vanished in the witsec. Write a book in the 1986, I dont find info on him but should be alive in his 70s 'cause dont find obituaries.

Cheers Furio

Did you not watch Goodfellas or Raging Bull?

Pesci and De Niro's characters are people you would like to be around after they've had a few drinks?!

The real jack lamotta was a beast even when was sober he beaten up his brother for jealosy and beaten up his wife until he aborted . De Simone from goodfellas was a fucking criminal not a man with hung around.
