Summary

Today on the show we delve into the very interesting Gambino heavyweight Joseph "Joe Piney" Armone. Armone was a fixture in the family since the 50's and was a huge earner in many interests for the Mafia. He was a pragmatist and one of the most important people in the Gambinos until the 90's and he played a huge part in the Paul Castellano hit. In the first 20 or so minutes of the episode, we answer some of your mob related questions. As always thanks for the great questions, if you want to skip and go to the bio below you can find the timestamp where the bio starts.

Joe Piney biography starts at around the 20 min mark
