Gasoline Bootlegging: Who started it?

[Villain]

@Villian

You did Chicago burglary, drugs, trash, did you do gas too?

I was mostly fooling around so pls dont mind me, you are a good researcher and i understood your question.

Btw no i never did one on the gasoline racket and thats a great idea. Thanks

Definitely Franzese first before Casso. Iorizzo said that he got into business with Franzese in 1981 which coincides with Michael's timeline.

I thought you were going to post something recent, not from the 30s, but it's still interesting.

It seems a lucrative racket from the get-go. Do they still do this in NY? Any family?

The last gasoline-related case I'm aware of is the one below from 2001. Involved the Russians and Luccheses.

You should. I figured you were kinda joking, but I think you might be onto a great topic there.....
