I've always thought Joe Lombardo was made... Don't know for sure... The Book on DiCarlo has him as one of four bookmakers in the city paying tribute to Magaddino through Randaccio. Here is a quote:
Quote
Nicholas “Sonny†Mauro had been a leading figure in regional gambling for decades. During the reign of Stefano Magaddino, authorities identified him as one of four city bookmakers paying underworld “taxes†to Magaddino’s underboss Fred Randaccio. The others reportedly were Joe Lombardo, Richard Todaro and Joseph Fino. Noting the vast sums of money generated by gambling operations, the FBI made a concerted effort beginning in the mid-1960s to crack down on bookmakers:
Hunt, Thomas. DiCarlo: Buffalo's First Family of Crime - Vol. II (Kindle Locations 6699-6703). Hunt&Tona Publications. Kindle Edition.
If it is the same Joe Lombardo ... I think he was more than an associate. Could be wrong. I believe the Lombardo family has had a long history of insolvent with BLCN.
