February 14, 1972: Brooklyn Bank Is Making LOans to Reputed Mafiosi

For more than a decade, Lafayette National Bank / Kings Lafayette Bank, made dubious loans to "reputed Mafia members" despite poor credit ratings, long criminal records, and false information on applications. Informants reported that some of the money was being used to fund loansharking operations. Most of the loans were issued by the branch at 6614 Bay Parkway, Brooklyn. One of the defaulted loans belonged to Carmine Persico, identified as a captain in the Colombo Family. Another defaulted loan belonged to Joseph Gioelli. Other defaulted loans went to Gaetano Masotto, his brother Paul Masotto Sr., and nephew Paul Masotto, Jr. The branch also cashed $200,000 in checks for Gandolfo Sciandra in 1962, despite him only having $40,000 in his account. Sciandra was identified as a Gambino Family member.

Branch manager Frank Albano was confronted about the Sciandra check cashing, and responded, "I spoke to Peter Castellano about this, who told me not to worry, that he would be personally responsible for everything he [Sciandra] does." "Castellano, who had several personal and business accounts at the bank, is the brother-in-law of Carlo Gambino and is listed as a member of the Gambino Mafia Group." When asked, "on what authority did you cash these checks?," Albano said, "I just went by Mr. Castellano's authority."

Other defaulted loans belonged to Carmine Lombardozzi and Alphonse D'Ambrosio.

The witness, Arthur Berardelli, cited the Fifth Amendment in Brooklyn Federal Court when asked if he knew Paul Castellano....Mr. Berardelli's refusal to talk was seen as a grave blow to the government's case against Mr. Castellano, one of the few men mentioned as a possible successor to Mr. Gambino as head of the Gambino crime family. In his opening statement, the prosecutor said, 'He will name Big Paul as the ultimate provider of monies. He will tell you how Paul Castellano, also known as Big Paul, used a buffer between himself and the others..."

Corallo was charged with acting in concert with three others, who were "serving terms in the federal prison at Lewisburg," on another charge.

$190,000 in 1938 is worth like 4 million in today’s value. That’s a pretty big score.

[TSNYC]

Yeah, I noticed that. Seems like was a high stakes jewelry heist. Corallo one of the most interesting guys I’ve read about. Been a major player since his 20s. Major drug bust. Major heist. Started infiltrating unions and coming up with new ways to do labor racketeering, moved rackets into Long Island.

Corallo was close with Hoffa
Very old school he was.His driver Sal Avellino is still active and a millionaire

[TSNYC]

That’s right. Corallo was a big Hoffa backer, and helped rally the NYC unions behind Hoffa through Jimmy O’Rourke, who was one of Corallo’s top Teamsters guys.

If you are on Windows 10/11, press the Windows key and PrtScr to screenshot the articles and then post the images from your Screenshots folder you can find by searching the Windows search bar.

The "Robert McMahon" listed in the final article as a hijacker is "Frenchy" in Goodfellas.

They also mention Air France. “It’s gonna be a good summer!”

[newera_212]

Awesome stuff. The 70s contempt roundup article was great - crazy to see a lot of familiar names there, along with their addresses at the time.

[PolackTony]

Good stuff.

Interesting that June 12 raid lists a Bruno Capio as a Bonanno family captain and has him living in New Rochelle. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of Bonanno’s in that area.

Yeah, that’s super interesting. I have no idea if this guy was actually a captain, or of what crew, but I’d be keen to know more. Seems like he was the Bruno Capio who was born in New Rochelle in 1916 and lived there pretty much his whole life, apart from a stint in Auburn in the 1940s (he died in FL in 2003). So he wasn’t just a guy who happened to be living in New Rochelle in the 70s, but a guy from New Rochelle. Plus, he was Calabrese, which makes me wonder if his family had any links to the old Calabrese criminal network in Westchester back in the day (Rocco Pellegrino, etc). If this guy actually was a Bonanno captain, there was probably some local dynamic there that doesn’t fall into the main Brooklyn Sicilian Bonanno family dynamics of the past.

[Ryan98366]

Most interesting to me:

Already in jail on other charges were Tommy DiSimone, Anthony Stabile, and Stanley Diamond.
