For nearly sixty years, Gambino Family member “O.K. Benny” Marchese operated as an incorrigible stone-cold gangster… and he was damn proud of it too. He wasn’t flashy, and he sure as hell didn’t care about headlines. But in Connecticut, Benny ran with real weight — the kind that didn’t need to be explained. His name never rang out like the New York bosses, but behind the scenes? He was in deep. Real deep.
By the late 1970s, Benny had finally been released from Federal Prison for the last time. During the course of his lifetime and long underworld career, he had been convicted many times and had served at least four long prison stretches, totaling over 25 years behind bars.
