Let NY Mafia answer first.


I don't know enough about Zaffarano to answer those questions of yours. I would have to first research him.

I can tell you he was a thief and around hustler until he locked into the porno. Then he made a ton. Ran the PussyCat theatre off 8th ave and 42st (I've been there a few times as a young guy lol), and was related to the Asaro's. Good guy, died of a massive heart attack as cops were raiding his porn offices. I do know he went back years with Joe Bonanno himself. that era.

But I do think a bio could probably be done on him. But how long it would be is another thing.we'll see. Maybe I'll take him on one of these days
