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. [/quote]

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.[/quote]



Bobby Manna grew up on the same streets as Mayer Lansky ......By the lower east side Manhattan.... Moved to Jersey in his 40s ....him and chin grew up together
