That's Billy's brother with his arm around Shorty - Joe "Popeye" Pacella - another fixture at ONIAC back in the day and I think he was probably a full member of LaMantia's crew.

Billy's brother Raymond Pacella was married to the mother of Rocco LaMantia's wife - there is a lot of familial relationships in that neighborhood.

Indeed. Going back to the Vincis marrying with the Moricis.

I just saw that photo on Reddit - also this YouTube clip of Toots Caruso giving an interview around the Leonard Clark trial - Dominic DiFrisco was their PR guy.

The Galiotos were involved in the 90s with a movie studio I remember. They got a bunch of money from Daley to open a movie studio. It got shut down after it hit the news. Here’s a article from 5 years ago that talks about them. Does anyone know if they are connected at all to the new movie studios in Chicago?

Sam Galioto died a few years ago. I do not think they are connected to the current studios but the Outfit dominates all of the movie productions today - and that really began in the 90s - I think the Galioto's were just trying to grab a piece. Most of what William Galioto was doing was for Jimmy Marcello.

Anne Galioto was the owner on paper of Allstar Gentleman's Club that burned down in 2010 and was also suspicious. She is the sister of Jimmy, wife of William Galioto.

Cinespace was recently sold to a private equity firm for around $1 billion. John Credidio of Chicago Studio City died a few years ago.

Allstars was close to the airport. It was on Grand Ave west of Mannheim going towards Bensenville. I went there a couple of times. Didn’t like the setup. Heavenly Bodies is also close to the airport and liked that place more. That place has its own Outfit connections

Not sure how serious to take this guy but there is a book and documentary coming out about his life in the 12th street players gang in Cicero. He recently posted this on his Facebook.
