Anyone know when Tropiano made the jump from the Colombo's to the Bonanno's?
I always had him as a Colombo guy. It also talks about a potential hit on a guy named Nicky Boots Caputo. Anybody got any info on him?
He was a Colombo member in the 70's but is listed as a Bonanno soldier and acting captain when he was indicted with Cammarano and Zannochio in 2018. I recall seeing a brief video clip of him bring rolled away from the courthouse in a wheelchair, certainly earned the nickname 'Grumpy' with that mug.
That's a different guy. George Tropiano was an older guy in his 60s back during this time with bill cutulo.he died in 91. The grumpy George you refer to might be a relative but idk. George N. Tropiano was 60 at the time of his and wild Bills arrest in 1975.
