A little known, but top aide to Colombo capo Buster Aloi over the years was Pasquale Fusco. Better known as “Checko Brown,†he was one of Long Island’s biggest bookmakers for years, and a lot more.
Let’s take a look at him shall we?

By the way, a bit of trivia for the forum. Fusco's nickname of "Checko," means "Donkey" in Sicilian dialect.
So Checko Brown, actually means "Brown Donkey" or "Brown Jackass" lol, depending upon how you wanna look at it.
Who the hell knows how he got stuck with that moniker.

On another side note he was the "E pulito" guy who checked Joe Dogs if he was wired when he met Agro by the swimming pool in Florida.

Yeah, Checko was around a long time. He used to frequent Florida because Buster had moved down there.

You're probably right. I'm not familiar with that particular story
