[4] The robbery indictment involved a 1991 fur shop robbery in which Gioeli allegedly posed as a customer. Calabro insisted that he had not known the victim was a cop at the time of the shooting. When Miciotta started blabbing about the murder in 1993 as part of his cooperation with the government, nobody was left to prosecute. Calabro passed that along to Tommy Shots, who used his status as the Colombo's feared boss to work out a settlement in which the debtor agreed to "refinance his house to repay the loan. He clearly preferred the risk of that to spending the rest of his life in prison. They met at Villagio's restaurant in West Palm Beach and Gioeli, impressed with Maragni's long allegiance to the Colombo family, notified him that he was going to be 'straightened out' that March. It wasnt made clear why Joe the Banker deserved such an attack; all Calabro remembers was that Gioeli raved about the victim as being a dirty old man. Regardless, the message was clear; Gioeli now had a crew of young and able hoodlums beneath him that didnt hesitate to get their hands dirty. The father-son partners-in-crime had apparently progressed from dealing porn to narcotics, and Joe Jr. had refused to take part in a hit that was requested by Gambino boss Big Paul Castellano.

Now, that low-level drug dealer gave the FBI all the ammunition they needed to crack down on Tommy and Dino, as well as Dinos own protege Joey Competiello. On May 9, 2012, the jury returned a mixed verdict. Gioeli and Calabro presided over the ceremony, as well as the recently-released Sonny Franzese and South Brooklyn capo Joseph Baudanza, who inducted a crew member of his own named Little Craig Marino. At a glance, it appears Bevacqua ran the portion of Gioeli's crew that was based in Long Island, while Carna, who allegedly sat in a crash car with Gioeli back when ex-nun Veronica Zuraw was murdered, kept the crew in Brooklyn. David Gordon, an associate and confidante of Saracino's since the 1990s, was hit with a series of subpoenas in early 2008 for photographs, fingerprints, documents, and testimony relating to the Colombo crime family.

", This conversation was revealed in a Gang Land column from September 8, 2005, which quoted one law enforcement source saying that the seemingly ageless Franzese had been "very active, playing an active role in the day-to-day affairs of the family," "He just keeps on trucking," said another source, adding that Sonny was "coordinating activities within the Colombo family and meeting with mobsters from other families.". For Tommy, the FBI's claim in question was that he picked up Wild Bill on 92nd Street and then, along with former Cutolo henchman Vincent' Chickie' DeMartino, murdered the underboss and dumped his body off a boat in a Long Island marina.

The goons did as they were told, but the restauranteur called for Genovese soldier Salvatore DeMeo to back him in a sitdown. Only briefly staying in the Big Apple, Ren had been accompanying Tommy to various sitdowns and get-togethers after Gioeli straightened him out in March of 2008. Then, Big Dino brought in Little Dino, who took over the monthly collections.
