Although closely connected to the "Jewish element" of the underworld, he was also closely associated to Genovese soldiers Salvatore (Sally Burns) Granello and James (Jimmy Bates) Battaglia. In fact, all evidence points to him in fact having been an associate of the Genovese crime family.

He also associated with key members of Brooklyn's Colombo family
