Grimaldis'

[TJ]

He died last year.

Whatever happened to the other guy that was still alive? Believe he was released in 1997. Guess he made his way to Florida with his $26mil never to be heard from again.

Joe salvati..he’s up here. I think the total they got was like 32 mi each...joe is friendly with guys always has been but not really a player or anything

Great pic.

Very interesting about Angela Gohn. If the Grimaldi’s and Cammarano’s are related then I would not at all be surprised if either Vito or Joseph are acting with Cammarano Jnr away.

Joseph Cammarano Jr. is the son-in-law of Vito and the brother-in-law of Joseph. He had a legitimate job at the bakery, as well. An old photo posted in the Mugshots section has a teenage Joseph Grimaldi standing with an older Joseph Cammarano Jr. that was taken from Facebook.
The Grimaldis acting for Cammarano Jr. has been speculated in other threads before, and it would also not surprise me. But it should be noted that both Vito and Joseph have only had short stretches in prison for gambling during the early 2000s, and, until 2015, were both longtime soldiers under the Asaros and other capos. It's strange that, in 2015, both Vito and Joseph were named capos ALONGSIDE Asaro crew acting capo Ronald Giallanzo. The bakery is also a huge income source - I've read some articles that it delivers pastries and bread all across New York and it was featured in a news show as one of their Queens success stories. I would wager that both Vito and Joseph aren't really as active as their crew contemporaries - guys like Giallanzo, the Asaros, Bonventre, etc.

Idk if joe grimaldi has ever been arrested for anything mob related. Cant find anything on him bein arrested. Seems like a low key guy who has a large legitimate income. Guys like joe grimaldi confuse me, why be a mobster if u have a large legitimate income?

Also, being a LCN member gives you a competitive advantage. By way of the member network
to acquire contracts and rigged bids and the threat or insinuation of potential violence will ensure
greater success for the business.

Just like the olive oil and cheese business back in the day.

Exactly. The one business that all of the bosses seem to completely control
in their territory is the coin vending business. All types of coin vending products.
They take over all existing routes. Easy way to clean dirty $ by stuffing the machines with ill gotten gains.

What’s the Grimaldis prominence for? What’s his legacy?

Ridgewood and Bushwick (knckerbocker ave) are right next to each other. It is probably the only remaining not as gentrified area of Brooklyn / queens there is...

nah bushwick has been gentrified for a few years now. areas in BK that aren't very gentrified these days are farther out like canarsie, ENY, brownsville, gravesend, etc.

Were the Grimaldis close with Sal Montagna? I ask because with the theory that the Bonannos were/are pushing to reestablish a foothold in Canada, I’ve always wondered.. who in the current Bonanno leadership is pushing for it?

Part of Bushwick up towards Williamsburg is gentrified but down towards Cypress Hills it's same filth as always. By and large Brooklyn is not gentrified except for a handful of neighborhoods in the northern part of the borough.

Their familiy history is totally distorted , Vito.is the one who basically started the business . He was on Fresh Pond Road before he moved to the current location in the late 70”s from heroin money . The most appropriate name would be “Home from Heroin” not Home of Bread. It’s total lore to give the impression they are a century old family business. It’s amazing that respectable publications don’t fact check , as early as the 2000’s they both served prison term based on Vitale’s testimony.

Interesting read. I see you know things.

The bread is good I bought my bread from them the last 15 years
