Good question. I don’t know much about Manna or what he was involved in but I know he was a Jersey guy who was close to the top so I would think that Tony Pro knew him at least. As mentioned in here, Tony Pro was a tremendous earner for the family. Not sure about Manna in that department. I think I read that Anthony Strollo was close to Tony Pro but I could be mixing him up with somebody else.


There is a pretty well-known surveillance photo of Manna with Bufalino.


What was it about Manna that made Chin take a shine to him exactly? Was it because of his brains, ability to generate money, or something else? Chin was always very careful about who he put around himself.


Scarfo said that Manna had brains. He'd done I think 7 years for not testifying before the NJ State Commission of Investigation into organized crime. Also, despite being based in NJ, he was a member of Chin's crew.
