(Acting Boss ~
1991-1992)
Johnny D'Amato would step in to fill
the role as acting boss following the sentencing of Vastola in 1991. The
Elizabeth, New Jersey mobster derived power from such individuals as "Charlie
Ears" Majuri and Vinny Palermo. D'Amato was murdered by a conspiracy led by capo
Vinny Palermo, consigliere Stefano Vitabile, capo Anthony Rotondo and soldier
Anthony Capo. Rumors have since circulated that D'Amato's girlfriend claimed he
was gay and swinging. However D'Amato borrowed heavily from several of the New
York crime families, ultimately crying poor mouth and appearing to live well. It
was a matter of time. In late 1992 this former Ravenite Social Club regular and
John Gotti pal was found murdered.
