Nicky corozzo

Post by slimshady_007 »

Since maybe around the early 90’s it seems that nicky corozzo has led a powerful, large, and lethal crew for the gambinos. Does anyone know who is/was with the crew? Also, does anyone have an idea of who is the acting capo of the crew while nicky is locked up?

Lenny DiMaria was or is the acting captain. Nicky's brothers JoJo and Blaise are members of the crew.

James Dellaratta was the last id'd acting capo of that crew and seems to have been since Corozzo went away 10 years ago.

Was Jojo close with Gotti before boss or just after ? Wonder why it was just Jo and not Nicky . Nicky seem to have way more pull then Jo.

Here's some shit I heard about the crew a while back... before the 'operation old bridge' case,i heard they had the/ if not one of the strongest crews in the family. It was run by Nicky and 'jojo' and they ran it with lenny dimaria, jimmy della ratta and 'blaise', Nicky and jo jos younger brother. before they were into construction,and the laborers..they pretty much ran all of Canarsie . they had like a half dozen clubs on ave. n and off ocean parkway.marine park,and mill basin had a lot of there guys.they had at least a hundred poker machines all over those neighborhoods.they had tony v who ran a book that took like two hundred million in action.they had a million on the street in shy. They had guys in brooklyn and florida. nicky 'inhereted' the laborers in A way that I'm not sure about so I can't explain... he never let his guys party,he had some good kids around him. he made all his guys go into legit businesses.

Then the problems came with tony v's kid flipping, then on top of that I heard his guy tony got robbed several years back. Word is they took him for six hundred grand.which was like his entire bank. which as you can guess,killed his business. But heard a week later he was back in business after Nicky loaned him some cash....

I'm not saying this is gospel but I heard it was some of tg's guys who robbed him for the 600k

Once again going to throw out a disclaimer after I got attacked on the roc trucchio thing... nothing I just stated am I claiming is absolute gospel and I don't have any 302's to back it up. I just figured like I've stated before I'll post things that I hear that I think other people on here might find interesting...

In two years Nicky Corozzo gets out. He will be 80ish years old.
Will he chill out and enjoy semi-retirement? Or will he assume
command of the crew?

Ya vinny is married to his daughter Bernadette. Smart move marrying her. Once he did he got handed a lot of the landscaping in Howard beach, and Nicky gave him a 60k shy lock client as a gift... always perks to marrying these guys daughters. Look at porky. You really think he would be doing this well if he wasn't married to one of tg's daughters for a while? Lands in tg's crew becomes huge book while tg is the shy... just don't think some of these guys would get these oppprtunities if it wasn't for marrying some of these guys daughters.

I'm usually the last one to engage in speculation and make predictions. However, if history is any guide and assuming he doesnt have any major health issues, I would expect Corozzo to jump right back in. Seems to be cut from the same cloth as Sonny Franzese in that respect.
