The Defendants:
JOSEPH MACARIO (also known as “Joe Fish”)
Age: 68
West Islip, New York
Was thinking back to an old Johnny and Gene show episode (lol) where Gene told a story about a Long Island / Queens guy named "Joe DeCario" (sp) who snaked him out of a score, and had owed loanshark money to the Giallanzo crew. He said this guy used to be around the Genovese but was around the Bonnanos at the time and he was eventually "made on Long Island" - this Macario has a similar sounding name, operated in the same locations, and is now a Genovese solider. Half the time these guys get names and details slightly wrong (obviously they don't know the full complete government name spelling of everyone they are dealing with) and it wouldn't be the first time a member/associate thought someone else was with a certain family, and they weren't...
Thinking maybe there's a small chance , just speculating, that this could be the guy Gene was talking about? The age difference between him and Gene and them dealing with one another is a little weird to me, but for that life I guess it's probably common. What does everyone think? Any info on this Macario guy?
Edit - just saw this Macario was working at the Fish Market as young as 36 years old already associated (not made, I believe) with the Genovese family...so my theory above is probably incorrect
