Agreed, would like more information here if anyone has it
Here is a story that explicitly names Lombardo as a government informant, but it's from 2012 so it's possible the information didn't come out until then. The case included Gambino associate Robert "Bobby Fingers" Francella who spent twenty-four years in prison for killing his girlfriend, was once charged with jury tampering in one of John Gotti's cases, and claimed to be a cousin of Gotti. He also has a Facebook page, a handful of YouTube videos, and was featured on a low-budget show about the mob.

Calls Lombardo an associate of the Gambinos...not that it's right.

It's possible he was with multiple families, or they just identified him as a Gambino associate because of Francella's involvement in the shake down.

It wasn't a documentary, it was a drama about a fictitious mob family. I can't remember the name of it, but I know that Francella got into a fight with the producer and either quit or got fired from the show. I watched the trailer and it looked terrible.
