Did patsy conte die? Hes 90 give or take. Think hes the original zip rite? He had the international herion pipeline before the cherry hill gambinos came to the usa. He turned his money into the key food chain i think. He was the pizza connection but didnt get caught he had one or 2 guys whacked during that trial. I believe he groomed dom cefulo. His brother flipped so him and others plead guilty. But he was freed along ass time ago. Hes another that went again john gotti decree no plea bargins.
Now there's an intriguing figure. Must be rich. Was a captain, owned supermarkets, involved in the Pizza Connection and construction too I guess through Louie DiBono. Ends up only doing seven years for murder. Wiki says he was shelved and replaced by Dom Cefalu but they don't cite a source.
Yes, would love to learn more. Mickey Scars mentions him in his interview on one of those mafia blogs. He said Conte had a huge money gift for Gotti Jr, but Scars balked because he knew it was from drug money.
Wonder if Conte was connected on both sides or just over here. Also, anyone know which part of Sicily he was frrom?
