At first I thought this thread was about the cocaine cowboy. I would say they had some wrong info from a reliable informant in 1969.

Informant Account of Johnny "Roberts" Robilotto & Gambino family

I found this on MF:

http://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html ... elPageId=5

"The source said that Albert Anastasia headed the Gambino Family until his death in the 1950's. Then one Johnny Roberts took over, until he was killed on Grand Avenue in Brooklyn. Gambino subsequently took over and has been "boss" since."

I know Robilotto has been mentioned in a few threads. (Revisiting the Magaddino transcript - names). We know he was part of a faction that wanted to take over the Gambino's but this is the only time where I've seen it said he headed the Gambino's. Personally I find it highly questionable since the informant goes on to say that Anthony “Tony the Geep” Sedotto took over Scalise's position, which isn't true.

I find it pretty interesting, but I don't think it is true. It looks like the file is from 1969 which is more than 10 years after Robilotto was even killed.
