General Mob Questions

[PolackTony]

On one of his blog charts, Bill Feather lists a Frank Occhino (1924-92) as a suspected LCN member from Manhattan, family unknown. Anyone heard of this guy? I believe that he moved to the Bronx at some point.

Is there a thread containing member induction dates for different families? I’m sure I’ve seen some in the past.
Thanks

Who did Frank Lucas & Bumpy Johnson get their drugs from?

Lucas got it from general Ike Atkinson . Or something similar to that. General death or something they called him.

Bumpy I don’t think was much into drugs

"Goodfellas actor Frank Sivero had links to real life mafia bosses and hitmen, a mob informant has testified in court.

On Wednesday (18Feb09), a New York court was shown photographs of Sivero posing with Charles Carneglia, who is on trial charged with five murders, including the slaying of an off-duty cop.

Prosecution witness Kevin McMahon claims Sivero - who played Frankie Carbone in the 1990 movie - was a regular visitor at the Brooklyn junkyard where cops believe Carneglia dissolved the bodies of his victims in acid.

And he suggested the 57-year-old actor - who is not accused of any crime - used his underworld connections to settle vendettas.

McMahon, a former associate of jailed New York crime boss John Gotti, told the court, "(Sivero) had some kind of problem with somebody in jail, I am not exactly positive."

When approached by the New York Daily News, Sivero's agent Mitchell Shankman declined to comment."

Not anything like an expert on Bumpy Johnson, and I know that he really came up in the policy racket. But didn’t he take a narcotics rap in the 40s? I also believe that he was under investigation for narcotics distribution when he died in the 60s?

Was there any evidence that Phillip Lombardo ever attended a Commission meeting, or at the very least an inter-family meeting? Or did Tieri attend all of it as far as we can tell at this point?

2 questions :

1/in the famous photo of Sinatra & Gambino at the Westchester Theater I just realized there was a Joe Gambino (yeah, I'm 20 years late on that). Was he a cousin of Carlo/Paolo or their brother? I think I remember that there were several Joe Gambino in addition to the son of Carlo

2/question about Sicily: Is Carlo Greco of Santa Maria di Gesù a relative of Giovannello Greco of the same mandamento? I ask because as Giovannello is himself a relative of the Grecos of Ciaculli/Croceverde and that Carlo Greco has a very similar face to these Grecos... I tried to search but I couldn't find anything about it.

Thanks in advance for your help guys

-giovannello greco is ciaculli family not santa maria di gesu
-related from the side of cicchiteddu greco somehow
-no relation of carlo greco boss of santa maria di gesu after giovanni bontate
-highly dangerous killer
-gunman in murder of lt col giuseppe russo
-gunman in murder of judge gaetano costa
-was onside of corleonesi until 1978 then changed on side of bontate
-pino was introduced as "giovannello" by corleonesi to make confusion
-later people assume all the "giovannello" murders are by pino but is not so
-giovannello tried to do surprise christmas attack 1982 in ciaculli
-in that attack pino greco and giovannello shooting at each other like wild west
-corleonesi try very hard to kill him because he considered very very dangerous man
-after 1982 he disappear until arrest in eivissa in 1997
-now living free

Ok thank you cobra. I knew all the other points, but I don't remember where, I read G Greco was part of the Santa Maria di Gesù mamndamento. Maybe I confused with something else. Anyway, thank you for clearing this up

Yeah Ike didn’t blow up until the late 60s. Bumpy Johnson had been plugged in by that point. I haven’t seen the show but the series on Showtime apparently makes it seem like Bumpy was getting it from the westside.
