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.

You guys (and gal) are really the best at this in my opinion. How you're able to find these obsure members and make compelling bios is beyovd me. Bravo 👏. Not just for this but in general

Grazie tanti.....Thats a very nice compliment Don Peppino. Thank you for saying that. We certainly try our best.

Did you like the bit about his name Checko? Lol ...that a funny nickname right?

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 it is pretty funny. Definitely seems like a behind the back kinda thing lol

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

Another guy, big bookmaker out in Nassau County who worked closely with Fusco and them was Johnny Savino.

Didnt Joe Dogs bend over in front of him so he could check for a wire ?? Lol

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