Scillian heroiin guy. some in laws where very close to him and i hear he was a serious guy, but other than a bust in the 70s there is nothing on him. very under the radar. owned restaurants in bk. Batistas on ave N and at some point had something to do with the el caribe.
My wife was very close with his daughter Josephine when they were kids. The family still owns Aliotta Pastry Shop on Ave N very close to where Batista used to be. The story I remember hearing on him when I was a kid was that he did a huge deal and got a bunch of time for it but it was worth many millions and he had all the money waiting for him when he got out.

thanks he was like my uncles second father according to him. i met him a few times in batistas. he was a serious guy. yeah the pastry shop is across the street a block away or so. if i remember correctly. had interests in a few places over hte years. if thats the case he did what he had to do, set up his family nicely.

Frank, the Peter Zuccaro video was good. Those tidbits of info about Frank Bonomo are gold, for example him attempting to slash someones face in the middle of the day on the street. I think more info or bios on old timers like him would help your channel a lot. Is there anything else you could mention about Bonomo's character ? (unless you plan to do a piece on him)

Happy New Year
