Yes but I believe the guy referenced here is Moscatiello jr.
Any chance it could’ve been Nick Stefanelli? He was at the Gambino/Philly meeting with John Gambino and Al Trucchio, so somewhat similar circles to the guys above.
I think newera is right, it was most likely Vollaro.

To give more background on that event, it's not specified here but I have info from elsewhere that it was probably a Christmas party thrown by Al Trucchio in Queens on December 19 2007. It was only open to Gambino members and associates. D'Amico, Cefalu, Nicholas Corozzo, Frank Cali and Joseph Corozzo Jr attended it along with two other defendants from the 2008 indictment one of them I'm sure was Lenny DiMaria.
Thanks for clarifying Johnny. Vollaro was the trucking/construction guy from Staten Island who got busted selling blow right? Vollaro was just an associate, not made? I think I misread the post above stating that the CI was a made member so I thought that it was Stefanelli as it was roughly the same timeframe with some of the same players involved. After reading this over again, Vollaro being the CI makes sense to me as he was close to Corozzo, plus his cooperation was part of the case against D’Amico, Cefalu, Cali, DiMaria, Corozzo amongst the many others busted in Operation Old Bridge. Appreciate the clarification and correction.

Fiordilino was friendly with Vernace and said he was the nicest guy in the life. Not much is out there about him beyond his rise in the 2000s.
Makes sense that Frank knew him, given that Vernace was based in Glendale.

He was born 1949 in Camporeale. right? Looks like he arrived in the US in the 50s as a kid. Interesting that there was a Bartolomeo Vernace born in Camporeale in the 1880s who had settled in BK decades earlier, looks like at least by the 40s those Vernaces lived by Linden and Wilson in Bushwick. Presumably a cousin. Wonder if Bobby Glasses’s relatives had previously been connected to the Bonnanos, given origin and settlement networks?
Didn't know he might be from Camporeale.

Interesting guy because he was close to both the Corozzo and Sicilian factions who began taking power in the late 2000s.

Came up under JoJo according to Kenji.

During the 1980s and 1990s JoJo built up a power base and brought in a number of young up-and-comers including Ronald Trucchio, Alphonse Trucchio and Louis Mastrangelo who all later became Capos in the family, and Bartolomeo Vernace who became a Capo and also served on the panel and many others that are soldiers or associates in the family.

Glasses beat that state case with the double homicide, then the Feds throw it in when they hooked him up with a RICO...Double jeopardy if you ask me

I don't think so - I think the CW mentioned is Joseph Vollaro from Staten Island. Combo of the date + being with Corozzo makes me think it's Vollaro
