I find it interesting in this indictment how he has petrozza answering to him (through palumbo i imagine). How many crews has Palumbo been associated with and where did he come from? I don't buy the whole boss of jersey concept, to me anyways hes just an acting captain who acts as a messenger too. Its hard to figure out who's with who in the westside, but it seems at one point Leo (through Palumbo or Salzano) were involved in at least 3 guys tied to really big sportsbooks. Petrozza if i remember correctly was indicted with Ninny, the Tassiellos had their own book, i believe that Salzano was shaking down the Pisacano bros as well. The whole Palumbo/Leo/Prisco/Bruschi connection is interesting to say the least.

He was an associate of Genovese soldier Carmine Seglimbene, a.k.a. Johnny Lamps, who was ID'd by the FBI as a 'multi-kilo heroin dealer' himself. Frank Viserto Jr., the guy Scott mentioned on the first page of this topic, was a member of the Purple Gang. He was even named by the OCTF as the gang's head, and a 'heavy dealer in narcotics and guns'. He was Johnny Lamps' son-in-law, and he likely established early connections for himself and Leo with the Genovese family through his father-in-law.

Any info what crew Seglimbene was under?

Leo is thrown back into obscurity.

I still haven't heard where on the Prisco tapes he says he prefers Barney over Danny. He says "if this guy was here, this would never happen" or something - which seems to refer to if Chin was home he wouldn't have lost his crew. Either way -- did that Barney vs Danny convo even happen?

Rubeo: "He doesn't put anyone up."
Onofrio: "Yeah he does."
Rubeo: "Never."
Onofrio: "I do."
Rubeo: "He don't." (apparently referring to Danny Leo, a top Genovese boss)
Onofrio: "I already put a guy up from Springfield, Mass. ... You know, Springfield was given to me."
Rubeo: "Yeah, you told me."
Onofrio: "I got four, five guys up there. One I love to death."

So Leo's name is never mentioned.

So we literally have no idea who 'he' is and its baseless speculation its Leo.

Thanks for the post J.

It's not baseless speculation, it appears to be something that is in court papers. I don't think Masslive would pull the name out of nowhere.

Not to hijack the thread, but one question pertaining to this, was Onoforio really inactive for 15 years then randomly Rubeo calls up? Is that really how it happened?

Are there any thoughts on Leo's crew origins & successions, rackets, tenure in the admin, etc?
