I suppose it's possible but the I never heard of Tommy Gambino being connected to any guys outside his blood family an obviously the LA a family and even that connection is somewhat sketchy, besides the Gambinos already have a made guy operating out of LA his names Joseph Isgro

why would the gambinos specifically be the ones to take over? how many people would they need to have out there?

John gambino is his uncle and frank Cali is his first cousin so I think he'll put what's left to a crew

There are Italians in LA...mostly spread around the San Fernando Valley. From first to third generation.
The idea of "importing" some from the East Coast is not a bad idea...but quite expensive and easily trackable.

Honestly I'd be surprised if they reach KC's level. Gambling, some shy, investing money for East Coast guys...that's it.

Any names can be added to those nicknames TonyBoy?

i doubt that the remnants of the LA family will play any role in what operations the gambinos have going on in LA. furthermore, i would think that at this point, whatever operations the gambinos have going on out west are bigger in scope than what little activity is left with regards to the LA family.


It's either blue cheese with wings or go fuck yer mudda!

If they were smart they would get something going on out in la.. Its wide open.. Everyone makes the street gang arguement.. But in reality street gangs aren't involved in many of the same rackets the mob is.. I grew up in los angeles and been around and dealt with a bunch of gang members, none of them are into shy or sports book. Only thing they fuck with is extortion and drugs (not as large scale as you would think). They gambinos should set up a bigger operation in la.. They could make some good cash, with little competition. I guess the only arguement is that there is a lack of italian blood..

Jersey Huh, anyway Luan the guys from LA I was referring to we're Louis"Louie"Caruso a former capo under Milano,John Vaccaro who was a soldier who apparently lives in LV,Steven"Stevie The Whale"Cino who just got out of prison and was a member of Jimmy Caci's crew most of which imcluding Cino hailed from Buffalo NY, Mike"Porno Mike"Esposito who's an East Harlem native an son of Luchese soldier Sal Esposito, some guy named Paolo Rossi who has allot of tatoos, and Leonard"Limping Lenny"Montana Jr who is literally the actor who played Lica Brasi's son, the last three are associates who were rumored to have been made by Milano but I'm not sure of the last 2 can be confirmed

Not only is there almost nothing left of the LA family, there's almost nothing left in the way of an LCN presence in California period. With about 90% of the mob's remaining membership in the northeast, California and the west is just too far away.

I'm surprised there isn't more of a presence, they could shake down massage parlors, strip joints, control the Ecstasy trade and never mind own the porn business by taking control of the 1,000's of companies still operating in the valley.

There are tons of opportunities, strip clubs and rub and tugs are on almost every street corner in SoutherCal..

60 minutes did a piece on him back in the early 1990's. The Gambino's gambling operations used his network out on the west coast. He's not made, and may not even be on record with somebody, but he is connected.

If hes not on the record, hes not connected... A lot of ppl make that mistake, but if u use the argument if he knows or does biz with a made guy he is an associate, ur calling half of nj connected..

Except half of New Jersey doesn't do business with the mob. And the definition of an "associate" varies, even from local FBI SAC to another. Even if he's not on record, and I don't know either way, the fact that he's worked with the Gambinos makes him connected, as I understand the term.

An associate... If you go by mob terms (which you should when discussing lcn) is someone on the record with a made guy... Just knowing a guy or doing biz with a gambino book, means nothing unless your a journalist.

Btw... Im tryin to send u a pm but its says i cant

I haven't heard of him but there is no way someone is going to have a large sports book and deal with a family without paying tribute to someone.

They have a way of convincing you it's in your best interest to have protection, in case you need it down the line, lol...
