Laforte Sr was in Gotti's crew, JOE the Cat, Gotti, couldn't stand him, they killed that black guy who took a shot at Gotti and threw the body in Joe The Cats Store on Staten Island, a message about disrespect.
Buddy his son was made but shelved,
These are Buddy's two sons Joseph and Jimmy
They owned a title company in Staten Island and got jammed up about 10 years ago
They got out and got into the MCA business
They raised money from investors and promised high returns
Nothing more than a Ponzi Scheme
I haven't been on here in a while a few years back I was hinting without saying this is where alot of LCN guys have been making a killing over the past few years
Legalized Loan Sharking
I personally know more than one crew making a killing in the business
He ended up in Gotti's crew for a bit but The Cat took over as Capo of Neils crew. One of Neils main guys. He fell out of favor with Neil when he tried to appoint an acting Capo of the crew without Neils advice or approval. I think he bypassed Neil and went straight to Paul with his pick. This pissed Neil off, who went to Paul and had the at busted down to soldier and put under Gotti for a time when Gotti was still a Capo. Gotti and company were caught on wiretaps talking down about a guy named Buddy. People think they were talking about Armond " Buddy" Dellacroce but they were talking about the Cats son Buddy.
