Gambino Influence in the Long Island Rail Road unions?

Post by nizarsoccer »

Per the indictment, Frank Pizzonia, son of Gambino captain Dominick “Skinny Dom” Pizzonia, schemed with Caputo and three others “by repeatedly covering for one another’s absences from work.” Payroll records posted online by the Empire Center show Pizzonia earns $35 an hour and made $271,913 during 2019

One of the indicted workers, Thomas Caputo, the LIRR’s chief measurement operator, took home a whopping $461,646 in 2018 to earn top spot as the MTA’s highest-paid employee. The Post calculated that Caputo had to be on-duty around-the-clock to earn all that overtime even if he wasn’t on the job

It was a payroll scam involving several people, including one who happens to be the son of a Gambino member. At least at this point, that seems to be about the extent of it.

I don't think so. A guy is a captain 20 years ago and often the press will label them that indefinitely. I've wondered if even Capeci does that occasionally (i.e. Barbato, Malangone, etc.)
