Gambino bust . Campos , martino

[SonnyBlackstein]

Interesting that current Gambino members are meeting with Locascio in jail. Could Frankie Loc still be active?
Unless they’re blood there’s only one reason Campos and Martino would be visiting.

Campos fires a construction worker for testifying before a grand jury. Not even a kicking...

For the love of god will these idiots stop talking on the phone. How many times...

fiore's a real gangster..ask his girl

Is this the first we are hearing of Andy Campos' father being a made guy? Or was that just something I missed along the way?

I thought his dad was a puerto rican?

I'm pretty sure the rule is you can't be made unless your father is Italian. Campos is a Portuguese name but it is found in Italy mostly in the Lombardy and Lazio regions.

I thought it was common knowledge that he was half peurto rican, been on the forums about 7 years and thats all ive ever heard, not seen anyone say he's full italian. Or maybe it was his step sad who was spanish, Fuck knows

I don't recall when either Campos was made but, supposedly, the rule was full Italian until around the time of Gotti. Then it became Italian on your father's side. That's how Junior got in. Then around 2000, when Massino led the Commission meeting, it was changed back to full Italian. 20 years later...I haven't read about it being changed back again but I imagine if someone is only Italian on their father's side and are connected well enough, it's possible for them to get made.

I'm not understanding this exactly.....

Are they ripping off their OWN company? If so, why?

They MUST have millions, these guys.... Why take a potential pinch for free home renovations? They weren't ripping off the union, if I understand correctly, so they were robbing, the construction company giving them the carpentry work? I don't get it..... If it was the executives at the top in on it... But this seems like just employees of the company in charge of paperwork.... That they bribed with free Disney World tickets, home renovations, I'm assuming they stiffed the companies that provided the materials for the work? But how does that help your construction business?


Also, if you are getting millions in contracts, how do you get around the taxes? Like, why not just pay the taxes? Then you have a legit, multi-million dollar business, your not worrying about getting indicted.

Last question, This crew seems to be very connected to the Albanians, they seem to be the muscle arm of the crew. Is this a different group from the Rudaj org, or are these guys from that same group?

[CabriniGreen]

Like this makes sense to me if its a daisy chain type thing, but they have their own names on this company, right?

[TommyGambino]

Am i right in saying this is the first bust in this crew since the big porn scam in 03/04? Pretty impressive if so

I know zef mustafa an albanian was in this crew going back to Frankie Loc,

Reading that indictment reminds me of Gravanos book....

How he didnt want to do fraud, and take the quick money, but actually was committed to running a real company....

I got to be honest, this racket to my eyes makes very little sense long term.... which would be okay, if these guys were hungry, but they aint..... bizzare..

Seems like there is a lot of money around to invest in the construction business. Makes sense why they continue to be successful with their construction interests. Union partnerships also seems to be more common then one would think.

Seems like they are mainly an economic threat today , fighting with the govt across the board on who gets that tax / vig

It’s still a little shocking how vast their construction interests still are today

That's been my position for a while now.

I don't know his full heritage but if he is half Puerto Rican it's clearly on his mothers side. George Campos his father is identified as a Gambino soldier in the first post of this thread. I always thought the speculation regarding his background was because of his last name which on the surface doesn't seem Italian but if you use cognomix and do a search there are definitely people with that surname in/from Italy.

Years ago I think it was published somewhere that when his family/Relatives came over to the New country they added an S to Campo
