Prior to being a member, he was also involved in a minor incident with a customer at Guzzo's Pearl Room whose brother-in-law Peter LNU was also a Castellucci "cousin"

Not sure if there if they are his actual relatives (probably not?) but thought it was worth noting the apparent closeness
Interesting. As I've previously said Gambino acting capo Louis Epifania was/is very close to Big John so makes sense if they are related. I'm pretty sure Lou was acting capo for one of the Staten Island based crews, I wonder if it was Camuso's. Robert Epifania was under Thomas Cacciopoli in the mid 2000s but I think he could've been with the Giordano crew at some point too. Camuso likely took over that crew in around 2013.

TSNYC has mentioned him before as a potential Lanni crew member.
Sal Adamita is another possibly - again no idea if made but he’s son of Manny Adamita who was part of pizza connection. Sals and Sicilians - so many to choose from ha

Always assumed the Cherry Hill Gambino's were a separate crew?
I think still part of Inzerillo/Gambino crew, just operating in Cherry Hill
Some of the "Cherry Hill Gambinos" were formally part of the Sicilian mafia while others were part of Antonino Inzerillo's decina which included both Brooklyn and South Jersey.
The Cherry Hill Gambinos in Jersey and Philly ( I lump Domenico Mannino in too, Iron Tower and all that...)

Antonio Inzerillos crew, ( he's the one who went to Sicily on his relatives behalf and got killed....)

Francesco Gambinos crew, (in the thread with Frank, I FINALLY...LOL got Felice to admit this was a Sicilian mafia crew of the Torreta family..)


Patsy Contes crew, which included Riccardo Cefalu. Capeci's writeup had him taking direction from Sicily, even as a member of the Gambinos. Things like this, and Ciccio Gambino as well as John are where the ideas of dual affiliation originated, at least Ithink so.


I'm pretty sure there was an indictment of a crew outta Queens headed up by a couple of Spatolas too.....

That's just the Gambinos. Haven't touched the Bonnanos, or the Luchesse Sicilians like LoDuca.


Some of the long standing questions have been how these guys interlock with the Bonnano Sicilian faction, and just how much direction all these guys took from Sicily.

Interesting. Is that known or just an educated guess?
Pretty sure John Gambino came up under the Nino Inzerillo crew if that's what you are asking.
