He talked a wee bit too much, known for being a bit of a blabbermouth.

Easy question. What's the common name for the popular wall street stock scam?

Excellent moniker Cago, I've almost finished the Valachi Papers and it's been a real good read.

That will Castellano, one of the many reasons embarrassing the Family and maybe even contributing to his downfall.

Q, Who is rumoured to still head the Cupola today whilst apparantly still being in hiding for nearly 50 years?

At least five times: for larceny and for bootlegging before WWII, for masterminding a hijacking that Gotti was also arrested for (in 1969), and at least twice for immigration violations.
Q. Who were Gambino's two underbosses at the time of his death?

A. Its debatable if Gambino had two underbosses at the time of his death. Aniello Dellacoce held the title, replacing Joe Biondo in the mid '60's. My guess for a second underboss (IF there was one) would be Paul Castellano.

Assuming that answer is correct -

Q. Aniello Dellacroce was stepped over (for the second time) when Gambino selected Castellano to succeed his as Boss of the Family. When was the first time Dellacroce was stepped over?

Paul Gambino was shot at but lived after Maranzano ordered all the top guys with Masseria to be whacked.

Q, The opening line to Bruce Springsteen's Atlantic City are about a hit on a Wiseguy. Who is it?

Joseph Ida was Angelo Bruno's predecessor.
Sticking with Atlantic City:
What political boss (not Mob boss) hosted the famous 1929 gangster convention in Atlantic City?

Technically, Bruno's predecessor was Antonio Pollina, who was named by Joseph Ida as the new boss (in 1959). For a short time Pollina, as the boss, plotted against underling Bruno, causing Bruno to visit with Carlo Gambino. Gambino, friendly with Bruno, showed his muscle and named Bruno as the Philly boss. Pollina realized what the situation was and acquiesced. (I said it was a tricky answer).

Turnbull's question still stands.

Thanks for the details, SC.
Since no one has answered in more than 24 hours:
Enoch (Nucky) Johnson, the Democratic boss of Atlantic City, hosted the famous Mob convention there in 1929. Keeping with AC:
