Joseph “Joe Beck” DiPalermo

[Cduggan]

I'm sure Tony ducks just like all the previous bosses all the way back to Tom gagliano gladly took what was kicked up to them for Joe beck and his crew. Joe beck pretty much goes back to the originals and Tony ducks knew that and knew he wasn't going to change. Probably kept him at arms length but always got his cut.

Knowing how greedy Vic and gas were your probably right about them reaching out to see what he was pulling in to get there cut. Another thing I wonder is why Tony ducks let Joe beck keep dealing. There's the recording of Tony ducks saying about making an example of a drug dealer. Which is pretty hypocritical of Tony ducks since he was pinched selling junk in the 1940s. Looking forward to seeing what you can find in Joe becks fbi files.

Most of these old timers didnt care about junk dealing as long as it was done by their allies.

Agreed. Even Ducks ranting against drug dealing to Avellino on tape had to know that Joe Becks envelopes were filled with Drug money. The DiPalermos were moving babania out of Little Italy for the better part of half a century. No Way the administration didn't know.

Why was he ranting about drugs if he knew? I think he did know. Maybe DiPalermo was an exception to him because of longevity. He could certainly be trusted not to flip even when facing heavy time

Yeah, that is what I am saying. He absolutely knew.
