Nice group photo Deniz. Thank you for sharing.

Nice pics Deniz...saw most of em but its nice that you labeled all of the guys cause I wasn't sure of some of them...thanks!!

Great pics of Joe N Gallo, never seen him pictured with Gotti before!

think this pic was in the book boss of bosses pal

Cheers Dom, this book 'Boss Of Bosses' please don't tell me it's about Gotti?

It's about Castellano written by two disgruntled FBI agents. They're the ones who first spread the penile implant theory and his affair with the maid, which a lot of people thought it was a little too personal even though he was a mobster.

Nick Civella...(Kansas City)







Anthony "Tony Ripe" Civella

I believe these were the 2 assholes that claimed credit for breakin into Castellanos house at night and installing the famous bug..could be wrong tho

rossillo is widely believed to have been the guy who shot jerome Johnson after he shot joe colombo . Great pic

Cheers, Dom.

Lucania was a bad bad man. Nobody in the underworld really was a match for him.

Adonis there looks like a deer in the headlights.

Can anyone identify the other guys in this pic with Scarfo?
Caramandi??



The guy standing near the door looks like he just got done layin'/ floatin' some
"Scarf Inc" concrete.

You really do have an obsession with him don't you. Nobody was a match for him, yet he was a rat

LOL, that's the second time you've baited me by taunting my avatar.

Keep on trying. Good luck with that.

Next time, try presenting evidence of the proposed fact.

It might help a little.

All you do is talk about him, there could be a conversation about Osama Bin fucking Laden and you'd manage to drag Luciano in to it and mention how brilliant he was.

well, its for sure that those who followed Lucky Luciano, brought the whole thing down.

as far as him being a rat.. I never heard that one before.

Luciano had nothing to do with the night Osama bin Laden was conceived.

wow cool pic of scarfo meeting the other 2 guys. think the buffalo guy was the boss maybe the buffalino guy acting. think they were talking shit about the ny guys. wonder where the feds snapped the pic down florida

Bin, they are referring to the time Luciano got busted and gave up the location of a drug stash in return for his freedom.

That's pretty iffy because no one got taken down for that.

Was Luciano a type of informant in the sense that he was probably OSS (CIA) connected? I think yes. But not the type of informant like these guys in here usually talk about.

Yes that surveillance pic of him I believe was taken at the Italian unity rally on the day Colombo was shot.

I believe you are right, he of all people would never give up anybody, and he was constantly harassed by the DEA after he was deported to Italy.

Giovanni "Big John" Ormento









John Ormento of 118 Audrey Drive, Lido Beach, New York. This man, known as "Big John" regarded by the Federal Narcotics Bureau as one of the most active and important narcotic violators in the United States. He has been convicted for violation of the Federal Narcotic Laws on three separate occasions during the past 20 years. In 1937, Ormento was convicted of violating the Harrison Narcotic Act and was sentenced to a three year prison term. During 1941, Ormento was again arrested for violation of the Harrison Narcotic Act, convicted and sentenced to an eight year prison term. In 1951, Ormento was again arrested and subsequently convicted for conspiracy to violate the Harrison Narcotic Act and was sentenced to a two year prison term.

Ormento was born and raised in the East Harlem area of New York City and has always centered his activities around the vicinity of 107th Street. He is generally considered a prominent member of the East 107th Street Mob. LE investigations and the convictions of Ormento have uncovered probative evidence which establishes that he has been associated through the years with Salvatore Santora and Joseph Vento and others, in an operation where they either smuggled or caused to be smuggled vast quantities of heroin and opium from Mexico, Italy and France to the United States, for distribution on a nationwide scale. In addition to these three narcotic convictions, Ormento was convicted of bookmaking in 1948 and fined $50.

On March 18, 1955, Ormento was arrested in New York City with one Salvatore LoProto, in possession of two loaded pistols, one a .38 caliber and the other a .22 caliber equipped with a silencer. These weapons were cached in a secret, electrically controlled trap built into the front seat of a 1952 Chrysler bearing New York license plate# PB3730, listed to Betty Licatta, 2073 Second Avenue, New York City. This woman is a sister of LoProto. The charge against Ormento was dismissed when LoProto alleged the guns belonged to him.

interesting guy, looks like he was a career criminal, you would think after 3 narcotics convictions he would have gotten much more time.

thank you for the photo and bio of him, N,J,
