Jackie The Nose Damico

Post by dreww »

John 'Jackie the Nose' Damico was/is an upper level insider in the GCF. He pictured countless time with John Gotti.

Is there any background information other than Wikipedia on this guy? Whay kind of gangster was he? What kind of rackets he had?

A degenerate "brokester" who pissed away his money in gambling. Gotti would get angry cause he always lent Jackie money for it. Last I heard, he still gambles. Despite that, he was/is well-liked by people.

To me, he always seemed like a placeholder...

I think Cali basically was a capo in all but name when he got made.... this guy was his capo, right?

Through the '80's to about 2008 extorted restaurants and supermarket chains for protection and forced the businesses to place orders (Poland Spring, Pellegrino, Perrier, Crystal Geyser etc) with Gambino-owned suppliers. Geyser had him receiving health benefits and a yearly salary of $71,000.. he was behind Junior Gotti getting a distribution route = big $$

D'Angelo came up in the Gravsno-Vallario Crew before being placed with DiLeonardo.

He was made in the 1970s into the crew of Olympio 'Lilo' Garofalo.

I believe Jackie and Nicky Corozzo were partly responsible for the Sicilian Factions rise to top leadership positions with the Gambinos.
