Louis Manna, or Bobby, aka The Finger, Goldfinger, Thin Bobby, or Doc, the one-time consigliere of the Genovese Family, has passed away. Probably best known for his plot to kill the Gambino Family’s Gotti brothers and his involvement in the murder of mob associate Fat Irv.

Did he pass in fairton or another fci ?
Think about it, he did 35 years !

Wow 94 very tough guy lol..

It was revealed by the FBI in 2004 that prior to Manna's sentencing, he was involved in a murder plot of Judge Maryanne Trump Barry , sister of Donald Trump, the United States Attorney Samuel A. Alito, and Chief Prosecutor Michael Chertoff.

Tough guy. One of the last of that generation of mobsters.

I believe he was made in the 1950's. Probably not 10 guys left alive made in the 1950's now.

Bobby Manna should have been released over 20 years ago in my opinion.

Was it Don Vito who inducted him?

There is a photo circulating the internet with Bobby and Russell Buffalino. Very cool.

Who else was made in the 50s? I am eager to know. I am only aware of SF made in the 40s and became a captain in the 1950s, and Frank Locasio.

Based on what he was convicted of, he's the only mobster that comes to mind (in my opinion) who deserved any break on his sentence.

@Captbony1999.

Either him or Costello most likely.

@Captbony1999

Lawrence "Larry Fab' Dentico was made in the 1950's; He is still alive. He was reportedly close with Vito Genovese. Dentico was also close with Bobby Manna.

Lawrence Dentico is the last of a dying breed... There's not much information about him.

Another made guy I keep saying that's alive who was made in the 1950"s

Vincent Aloi.. Colombo Heavyweight. Was inducted by Joe Profaci.

Those are the only 2 I know of.

@majicrat

I agree. He should have gotten a break.

Got to give it to Bobby Manna though;

He was a deadly guy.

Didn't he have crews in NJ as Consigliere?

Yes he did Zavattoni. He was born and raised in Hoboken made his HQ there as well. I believe he lived in Brick, NJ when he went to jail. I suspect he had a lot going on with the boardwalks too.

It's very rare for a NJ guy to be put in an administration.

Chin and him must have been really tight.

Apparently he's still alive. Internet nowadays.

@Liggio.

It looks like he's alive; but in poor health (not surprised).

This comes from a reliable source.

I've read somewhere that Chin Gigante always thought highly of the Jersey faction of the Genovese Family. He would use them a lot for sensitive hits and important businesses.

This smells of bs. Even if it was said of Gaspipe or Scarfo, I'd find it hard to believe.

But a 40 year veteran of the Genovese family, son of a made guy too.

Now,. maybe Manna talked about doing it, talked about wishing them dead but I'd be amazed if he was actually serious.

Although,I don't know what the FBI revealed in 04.

@Malavita

The Genovese NJ crews have really struck my interest of late.

They seem very very powerful

Even more so then the NY crews.

Yes as of right now I'd have to agree with you @Zavattoni

Genovese are the most powerful family.

@RushStreet

Always have. They are very secretive and always use rotating panels and "Front Bosses" to hide the Official Boss. It was so Interesting in the 1960's and 1970's on guessing who the real power was.

Even if he thought about that I really doubt the commission would allow that Manna has been always loyal to them.

Although it is not clear how or when he came by it, an FBI report – now an exhibit to the instant motion – purportedly establishes that the FBI was apprised by some informant that Manna was involved in a plot to murder: the trial judge, Maryanne Trump Barry; and the United States Attorney, Samuel A. Alito; and the chief prosecutor, Michael Chertoff – all three of which [sic] are now Third Circuit judges. Furthermore, this FBI report was apparently communicated to Judge Barry after conviction, but prior to his sentencing. Manna argues that upon receipt of this information Judge Barry had a statutory duty to communicate this information to Defendant’s counsel and to recuse herself. Manna’s instant motion seeks discovery against the Government to further develop these materials. He argues that were a proper foundation developed, the Court would have cause to vacate the prior habeas petition and/or vacate the prior sentence – ostensibly imposed by a biased judge.

@Hollander

I doubt Manna would take what he said seriously. The commission would not allow such a brazen act to occur. It would cause alot of attention... This is a few years after the highly publicized 1985 commission trial.

He never died. New thread Manna dying was a wrong rumour.
