The thing is Marcello like Falco noted above always looks the part even when he's got like crummy sweats on. The guy can't help it, it just kind of emanates off of him. :)

Of course you got mob guys who look the part and know how to dress!

The ones I am speaking of are obviously low level associates. Many of Those guys need a training course in proper hygiene.

Yeah I was thinking about this the other day, especially that one clip of him with the suit jacket and shades on. That shit was over the top.

They look normal to me? Some dudes are ugly some are not. Lol theyre not any more or less attractive in Philadelphia or NY. I'd imagine most people dont look great in FBI mugshots.

Well I have to say that some of these guys I see I would never think they were a mob guy. Local town drunk though? Yes indeed.

Quite embarrassing. No pride in appearance whatsoever.

New York on the other hand or Philly? So much better and attractive.

Is this done on purpose by the Outfit? To be ugly?
I wouldn’t say it’s done on purpose, but anecdotally, Frank Calabrese Jr. has specifically said that they were told by their superiors to dress down, drive average cars, and only socialize with their immediate crew, in an effort to attract less attention.

Johnny DiFronzo was incredibly wealthy by all measures later in his life and owned real estate and businesses all over the city and western suburbs. The guy lived in an incredibly modest three bedroom townhome/condo in River Grove until the day he died.

Thought some of you might enjoy Michael Franzese's recent video on Accardo. It's simplified for sure, but at the very least it's well produced and has a lot of great photos.

James 'Jimmy' Yario, well-known Outfit bookmaker and operative who was a product of Taylor Street. Story goes Yario and James 'Cappy' Capodice had one of the largest gambling operations going in Chicago during the mid 1990s and were doing so without Outfit approval given the internal strife going on - personally, I bet they were paying someone given the size of their schemes.

Interesting tidbit of information on Michael 'Jaws' Giorango.

He was heavily involved in financing a boxing promotions company in Miami and Chicago called 'A-Team' - he was partnered with this individual below, who was from the East Coast. Some of the boxers that they managed included Mike Mollo who was a notable for knocking out Kevin McBride in 2006.

https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituar ... di-8030071

Interesting that this old article notes Giorango as a 'successful real estate developer' and that investors in 'A Team Management' were stated as a group of Italian Americans - you wonder who else was in that group from Chicago or the East Coast...

Was this one of the informers (Richard Gelsomino) in the Joseph DiFronzo weed case in the early 1990s? I believe he was wearing a wire in meetings with a grand jury mole.

Wow well that answered my question. Mike and his son look almost identical at the same age.
