A real sweetheart...

Agro had saved Iannuzzi once previously ,the beating was for Joe Dogs screwing up worse a second time, and almost getting himself killed, and possibly getting Agro killed. He robbed the wiseguys he was with, then ratted them out after the beating.

Tommy Agro is a guy I’ve brought up a lot in other boards because he isn’t talked about much. But the guy was pretty crazy. Joe Dogs Ianuzzi has talked a lot about him. Tommy was made in April 1977 and I think he was sponsored by Joe N Gallo and in Joe Piney’s crew. I know Joe Dogs had long said that Agro was the guy who whacked Tommy Desimone(Goodfellas fame) but who knows. There is a great documentary called Mob Stories which featured wiretaps between Joe Dogs and Agro. The guy was nuts but some of the things he says are hilarious

Agro was about to chop his hand off when the restaurant owner's wife walked into the kitched and started screaming. He was in good enough standing with the Boss that when his troubles with law began Castellano rejected a hit on him (after Armone mentioned this possibility), knowing he wouldn't flip.

Are you just trying to increase your post count or something? You seem to be offering very little to old threads. I mean you had a one word response to a thread 6 years old.
Nice rug ya got here kid...it’d be great for a craps game
