Richard “Richie From The Bronx” Martino is back on the streets after nine years behind bars for running illegal internet p**n and telephone cramming operation. The consumer fraud scheme was a major money maker for the Gambino crime family running approximately 18 years making an estimated $650 million dollars. Along with his prison sentence Martino was forced to forfeit over $14 million dollars before going to prison back in 2006. According to mob sources the 55 year old mobster is back to mafia business as part of a Gambino family crew now being run by acting capo Andrew “Sonny” Campos.
“Richard Martino“
Martino was a rising star in the Gambino family before his prison stint and was once praised by the former Gambino family boss John Gotti. Back in 1990 Gotti was captured on wire tap telling then consigliere Frank Locasio who proposed Richie from the Bronx for membership that “I want guys that done more than killing, I like the Richies,” he said. “They’re young, twenty something, thirty something … beautiful guys …Ten years from now, these young guys we straightened out, they’re gonna be really proud of them.”
Backed early on by then capo Salvatore “Tore” Locascio who along with long time New York mafia associate Zef Mustafa were also a key part of the profitable consumer scam operation. Both are also still part of the mob crew being run now by Campos according to sources. Whether or not the mobster once known as the mob’s king of phone sex will be able to reach the lofty heights he did in the past again is yet to be seen.
I don’t for one minute believe locascio and martino are now under campos , locascio is retired living in Florida , martino won’t be far behind him . Capeci is slacking , his Vic Amuso is still the boss is bullshit also
I wouldn’t doubt Martino are back in rackets somehow although the Campo as capo of that crew part i am not so sure of as well. I guess its possible but seems kind of a stretch.
And i don’t think for a minute that Amuso is still boss in any way not even in name only.
What is wrong with capeci lately locasico is living large in florida vic is not boss please steve is the boss last decision I think Vic made was with scarf jr and look how that worked out Vics guy scarfo got demoted there is no one left who likes Vic the power is in the bronx and even the Brooklyn guys are fed up with vic
Martino will make capo, it’s only a matter of time. He kept his mouth shut the whole bid & he was an reliable earner & alot of the ol’timers likes him, he has the backing. Campos is only actng capo & he was never the money maker Richie was & tht goes along way wth Dom from 18th. …ijs
Right i could see Martino getting back into things and getting bumped up for being stand up and doing his time keeping his mouth shut. Plus he has already proven he can be a big earner , so i am not so sure he is ready to retire quite yet.
Why do you think martino is not far behind locasio?
Just because he is loaded
