Dinner with Fat Bobby

[Nicholas]

Bobby Paduano, from Orange County of the LA Family is a family friend.

I'm having dinner with him this week; anyone have any questions about the LA Family from when he was in it?

[JoePuzzles234]

Oh man, given the opportunity I'd talk the guy's ear off lol.
Not sure how open/willing he is to discuss things but here's some stuff I'd really want to know:

• In New York, was he on record with the Colombo family or did he just hang around Felice Vizzari?

• Any info on Ralph D’Angelo? [Super obscure Colombo-connected bookmaker in California - the DOJ notes Paduano was around him in the 1970s.]

• He appears to been originally affiliated with Dominic Brooklier and Peter Milano, how exactly did he become associated with Mike Rizzitello?

• Did he have any dealings or run-ins with Jimmy Fratianno?

• Anthony Fiato never mentions him, despite the two being in Rizzitello’s orbit around the same time – did Paduano know the Fiato brothers?

• Did he know Michael “Mike Marino” Comparetti, any comment on him becoming a made member in his 70s?

• What did he know about Nick Nardi [Nicholas Paul Nardi], what was his connection to Rizzitello?

• Were the Samoans just around him or were they officially with the family?

• Can he comment on being proposed for membership in Los Angeles? What were his feelings about the Caci brothers blocking his induction?

• When Rizzitello went away on the Carroll case, did he continue to associate with the family?

I'll ask him about Brooklier, Milano and Rizzitello.

I was more curious about his affiliation with the Hessians and Maniscalco last time I saw him.

Anything you learn will be valuable and interesting. Id like to hear his perception on the West Coast LCN network over the past 35 years.

[CornerBoy]

can you ask if there is any kind of structure left in LA family please?

[OmarSantista]

I'd be interested in knowing as much as possible about his induction including his thoughts of what cosa nostra means to him; then and now. As well as his thoughts on Tommy Gambino.

[Honk]

I’m not too familiar with LA, is this guy a cooperator?

[Antiliar]

Would be interested if he knows anything about the early history of the L.A. mob. Not sure if Paduano was ever made, so it could be a long shot. If he was made, when was he? And how many members remain?

[ThiagoL]

Hey, how it was the dinner? Something interesting?

[Antiliar]

I'm wondering that myself.

[CornerBoy]

who is this guy paduano?

[mike68]

He's had no posts since this. Maybe they had a problem and they couldn't work it out......

There was nothing we could do about it. It was among the Italians.

They even shot Tommy in the face so his mother couldn't give him an open coffin at the funeral.

Fun game. Gbb had something like this iirc
