Somewhat related but seems the Pellulo's (Leonard, Arthur and his son Sal) have been associated with both Scarfo Sr and Scarfo Jr going way back. Arthur is still a boxing promoter in Philly. Leonard pulled the 'takeover' scheme back in 1986, long before Salvatore and Jr. did it in the FirstTrust takeover. Phil Leonetti testified at trials for both Leonard and Arthur in the late 80s and 90s.
http://www.state.nj.us/sci/pdf/OCBoxing.pdf (p. 41 in particular) - This is a fascinating read..even details Philly LCN's connections to at the time major promoters like Frank Gelb and Joe Hand.
Pellulo’s were used and always kept at arms length but Jr. made a mistake letting Sal have reign because everyone knows they can not stop running there mouth and it proved to be one of the major downfalls.
The boxing report sure brought back some old names and the Limousine businesses was another before casinos had there own full fleet , hole lot of crazy days back there.
