Frank "Blinky" Palermo question - 05/12/16 03:16 AM
Was reading up a on Blinky and his extensive ties to boxing from the 40s, 50s, and 60s and had w few questions hoping the knowledgeable posters here could clear up....
From what ive read he was never made, but was a high ranking associate who had extensive interests in boxing and ran a big numbers bank in Philly... Does anyone know was he ever made? From what i found he wasnt
Does anyone know whos crew he was in? And what was his relationship with Angelo Bruno? He was mainly active especially in boxing prior to Bruno becoming boss, wanted to know if when Bruno took over did he take away some of his power or was it just that Congress and LE began cleaning up lcn's blatant control over boxing? (I know it was still dirty post Kefauver hearings ad RFK)
Also wanted to know what was his role in relation to Frankie Carbo? Was he just a
Business partner w Carbo or did he report to him?
Who's crew in the Lucchese was Carbo in? I know he was a gunmen in Murder Inc, but im referring to his time as a soldier in Lucchese fam and boxing control?
Any other mob guys that anyone knows had fighters under their control? As always, I appreciate the solid info and responses fellas
