Yup....keep surrounding themselves with ex-cops and other half-wits. See how that strategy works out in the end.
Might as well take out help wanted ads on Craigslist.

No one ever accused mafioso of not being hypocrites.

Didn't Luciano & Capone both make money running brothels?? I would say that Luciano could be the biggest pimp of all time

You are correct. It´s not that it´s a dirty business, but it´s unmanly to make money off of women. Back in the day, no pimps were made. And if that tradition persists today, this guy Rizzi can forget about becoming made (besides him being a retired cop of course) unless he denounces it.

Involvement in porn however (producing/distributing), seems to be a different matter for some unknown reason. We know a few made guys were into that.
Thanks HK.

The Sicilians that run the Gambinos, Cali, Gambino, Cefalu, Maninno etc have all lived in the US most of there lives, they're americanized. Cali was born here, Gambino bros came over in the 60's.

He never could have outfought Santino. :mrgreen:



To Lupara's question I don't know about Sicily but as far as the NY families they have been invovled in the sex racket since at least the 60s. Probably even earlier. The Chicago Outfit has been invovled with it since their inception.

Meanwhile, sources recalled today how Rizzi “married into the mob” and quickly became one of their henchman.

“He’s a disgrace to the badge,” a source said. “He’s a bigtime player in the Gambinos. He’s not just a hanger on.”


Interesting.
