Fuck DeRoss - he was a scumbag. Vic Orena would have been a great boss over anyone from the Columbos. Is the son still banging his attorney?
I miss Wild Bill - he was a gentleman but naive to trust Persico.
Interesting story about the Cutolo hit.
When bagging up Cutolo's body in Dino Saracino's basement, Joe Competiello and Saracino found tens of thousands of dollars on Cutolo's body. The pair reported this to Tommy Gioeli and Dino Calabro, who were waiting outside keeping lookout. Gioeli told the pair to split the cash between themselves. Consider it a nice little bonus for a job well done.
The day after, Gioeli and Dino Calabro drove out to Hempstead, L.I., to confirm the hit to Allie Persico. They met at a Nissan dealership owned by the brother of John Staluppi. Persico asked who pulled the trigger; Calabro confirmed it was him. Persico asked who was at the scene, and Calabro named Competiello and Saracino. Then, Persico asked if Cutolo drove himself there. Calabro said no, Cutolo had been driven there by an unknown individual. The whereabouts of his Ford Expedition were unknown. That's when Persico told them that he had asked Cutolo to bring $70,000 with him to the meeting - he did not elaborate why. Persico assumed the cash was in Cutolo's Ford Expedition: Gioeli and Calabro didn't bother to correct him.
Then we've got John DeRoss, who - the very same day - was at Cutolo's house, trying to find his own little slice of Cutolo's fortune. Such scumbags. You also had Joe Campanella at the funeral, bawling his eyes out, even though he had been on the outs with Cutolo for the previous year-or-two, since he owed Cutolo hundreds of thousands of dollars, hadn't been even keeping up with the vig, and then went and bought himself a new Mercedes in '98 or so. I'm sure those were tears of relief from Campanella, having gotten off the hook for six-figure sum.
Such a classic tale of treachery, so stereotypically "Colombo." Well, it would be unfair to call it stereotypically Colombo. I guess all the families are equally as treacherous. Just to add to the treachery, Allie wanted Gioeli to initially commit the Cutolo hit with Vinny DeMartino. Gioeli was convinced that the murder of Cutolo would actually be a set-up for Gioeli's own murder, as punishment for his role in the Ralph Dols hit.
