FBI memoranda of 1970–71 call him "boss" of the Colombo La Cosa Nostra "family"; agents arrested him on federal gambling charges on April 2, 1971. FBI testimony in 1988 refers to his shooting at an Italian-American rally in 1971.

No opened record gives his birth or death, or the day of the 1971 shooting.
