Former Trafficante soldier indicted in Florida

[sdeitche]

Former Miami-based Trafficante soldier John Mamone, who was arrested as part of the Steve Raffa crew bust in October 2000, and testified against members of a drug ring in another case, was indicted last week, along with his two sons, on charges of health care and wire fraud. It was a Medicare fraud scheme in Palm Beach and Broward County that took place from 2019-2020.

I lost track of Mamone after he was released from prison, and assumed he up and left South Florida. I was tipped off to this by a reporter from the Palm Beach Post who called me last week about it. Mamone was released on bond. No mention in the court proceedings or indictment of his organized crime past.

So, he was a soldier who informed on his friends to get a lighter sentence and went back to his old ways?
What a shocker.

He has been living out in the open in Delray Beach for sometime. He is divorced now and out and about Atlantic Ave quite a bit. I spend allot of time there and have family and friends in the area. His hangout is 4 blocks from Tom Farase's house. lol

I wish someone like Patrick Bet-David or Tom LaVecchia could get an interview with this guy. It would be interesting to hear from a made member of the Trafficante family.

Have you ever reached out to him for a interview or book after he got out? I know he isn't doing anything now for some time, but wonder how approachable he was in the past?

His ex-wife had approached me a number of years ago about doing a book.

Recent article posted an hour ago saying he entered witsec 20 years ago, pocketed $3.8M, being released on $500k bond just to state a few. More over, his attorney in his case in the 2000s said he “Mamone suffered extraordinary psychological damage," which I thought was funny. In order to reduce his sentence after being locked up for 12 yrs he implicated Paul “Doc” Gaccione in the Sangiulo murder that Prisco got in trouble for. Most importantly thought our man Scott Dietche was quoted in the article.

Thanks for posting! I didnt realize it was out.

Kudos to that reporter who caught that Mamone was indicted. No one else reported on that.

Sorry, just saw this. No, I had not because he was initially in WITSEC after the Raffa and marijuana indictments.
Depending on how this shakes out, though, I might.

That would be a hell of a book. Good luck and I hope this works out!
