- Mob Interview with Frank DiMatteo on Chin Gigante & surviving 90s Brooklyn **NEW** @RealMobStories with James Proctor had the pleasure of interviewing former Mob Associate Frank DiMatteo. Frank has an interesting and colorful past along with his father Ricky DiMatteo. Ricky started out as a member of the Joey Gallo crew and took part in the second Colombo War which involved the Joey Gallo Crew against Joe Colombo and the Colombo Family. After Crazy Joey Gallo's rubout at Umberto's in 1972, the Gallo crew was broken up with Ricky DiMatteo and Frank DiMatteo joining Albert "Kid Blast" Gallo with the Genovese Family. Eventually, Ricky and Frank leave the Genovese family due to Vincent "Chin" Gigante's ban on dealing. As Free Agents in Brooklyn, they were pursued by several crime families including the Luccheses but at the end of the day, they decided to go with the Elizabeth, New Jersey Based DeCavalcante family. A couple of things made this arrangement practical. One, the DeCavalcante family actually had a crew based out of Brooklyn in addition to Manhatten. Second, Ricky DiMatteo was close friends with Vincent "Jimmy the Gent" Rotondo. After his unfortunate demise in 1988, that crew was placed under Jimmy the Gent's son, Anthony Rotondo. Anthony Rotondo was college educated and the mob was not his initial career path. However, he needed to protect his father's rackets. Ricky DiMatteo became a mentor and Consigliere of sorts for Anthony Rotondo since Anthony was very green. James Proctor talks with Frank DiMatteo about his life in the DeCavalcante family including the history of the Jersey based family that expanded under the leadership of Sam the Plumber DeCavalcante. Even though the commission had put a ban on making guys which is closing the books between 1957 to 1976. This ban had taken place in part due to a lot of changes going on in Cosa Nostra including Albert Anastasia and Frank Scalice selling buttons. Also, you saw the attempted rubout of Frank Costello who retired and inevitably the rubout of the Mad Hatter himself Albert Anastasia. YOu had new leadership on the Commission including Carlo Gambino and Vito Genovese. Joe Profaci would soon pass away too and Joe Colombo would become the boss of the Colombo family after the war. Part of the changes which took place in the 1960s was that Sam Decavalcante would have the DeCavalcante family recognized as a legitimate crime family and he would even be included on the commission. Another interesting tidbit is that the commission allowed Sam the Plumber to increase the number of made men inducted into the DeCavalcante family which increased its membership from 25 made men to 50 made men. Eventually Sam the Plumber goes to prison, and he gets out and dies. John Riggi is made the boss with the blessing of the Gambino family. However, John Riggi goes to prison himself and the family eventually puts John D'Amato in as the acting boss. John D'Amato was close to Gambino Boss John Gotti. John D'Amato ends up getting clipped in 1992 due to a nasty rumor that he was gay. This rumor was supposedly told to Anthony Capo, a soldier within the DeCavalcante family and he told the administration of the Decavalcante family what he heard, and the family decided to get rid of John D'Amato. We talk to Frank DiMatteo about the reasons for this rubout of a mob boss. In addition, he talks about his relationship with infamous gangsters such as Jimmy Gallo, Anthony Rotondo, Rudy Ferrone, and even Vinny "Ocean" Palermo. This is part one of a two-part interview. We talk about his new book coming out called Red Hook. We also discuss his relationship with infamous mobsters such as Anthony Capo. Please like and subscribe to Real Mob Stories with James Proctor.

Frank is coming out with Red Hook in November this year and will be releasing a biography on Carlo Gambino in November of 2025. Please support Frank.
Frank Dimatteo comes across as the most open (without ratting on anyone or naming current guys) while keeping his talks super interesting.
Appreciate you Mark. Means a lot your comments
Why do you care if he told on anyone, weirdest people here. They pretend they care about onerta and wish these murderers were damaging society
@@user-wb7nv9ht1git’s pretty normal, in my opinion. Why on earth would anyone want to listen to a lying rat? They might tell stories that are true but usually they try to make themselves look good. Not to mention, I’m not interested in helping some lowlife earn money. I have no respect for someone who won’t take responsibility for their own mistakes.

Sounds like Sammy had a Jug of Vino before he spoke...'In vino veritas..." HA ha
Yeah it does. I want to research that a little more
Thanks for finally changing your channel name .
I told you I would 😊
@@jameseproctorpmp You are doing a great job on your own . Happy Friday 🍺
@@Zilla23thank you so much for your kind words.
Maybe you can eventually interview Vinny Ocean. He’s hanging out in Texas I think.
Yeah he is in Houston area I believe.
Rumor has it he owns a strip club in Florida under his WP name.I doubt he will ever do an interview.If he did it would probably be with someone like James not a street guy.
@@msgalahad3332 very interesting
@@RealMobStoriesI got a little confused Jeff said he called a club in Houston.I heard it on someone else's live I guess They also said there was a lot of Flippers in Florida.I remember what can't remember who. I thought that was funny Dolphins Flippers Florida. He also said Florida was full of pedos and rats.He said they have colonies there by now you probably think I'm crazy but I'm not. I watched so many of these things I get confused.I even watch FINOCCHIO and PINOCCHIO. My pet names for Sam and Mike.😂
JAMES? Any of these books in audio?
I have three audiobooks on Amazon
Wats up Frankie Boy hope alls well lookin sharp!
Thanks Jackie. Frankie is a true gentleman and he is always a pleasure and interesting to listen too
I'm good pal thanks
@@frankdimatteo1172 good to hear
My buddy grew up rite across the street from Riggs’s club the Ribera one day he calls me to meet up in his neighborhood Sam the plumber’s wake was going on at Corsentino funeral home what a scene that was people everywhere police barricades cars from all over Michigan plates Rhode Island Ohio of course NY etc it looked like something out of a movie great experience.
Hey, do me a favor ask him if he ever met Frank Polizzi I met him. You should do a episode on him. Let me know if that guy met him.
That’s a great idea. I will ask him. Thanks for the feedback and comment s
Hiya James....Matty
Hi Matt and thanks for the great comments. Have a great weekend okay
James 🤜
How are you doing? Wish you a great weekend. Thanks for watching and chiming in with your comments.
@@jameseproctorpmp np James
Frankkkkkkkkkie I love that hat ......
Thanks Vincent for the comment.
Thank you
I’m from North Jersey a bunch of us go to Philly to play dominoes has a smoke shop. My nephew is personal friends with Joey Molina. He’s definitely still the boss. Also, the guy in Philly we go to arthur Avenue. I met Patsy Parillo and attends guy if you get a chance, maybe you could look up my cousin he did 34 years with the Genovese‘s family Little al Greco.
Hey that was a good interview James I'll tell you somebody you ought to look into interviewing if you ever do a thing on the Chicago outfit is red wemett he has his own show that he does and he was around a lot of the guys that were in the outfit evening Louie the moochie boy which was Tommy Ryan's son read with no made guy but he had a pawn shop that the outfit took money from him every week or something like that anyway Frank there seems like a really nice guy and I've watched quite a few of his interviews and keep up the good work
Will consider it.
@@RealMobStories now would you consider him an informant he wasn't a criminal but says he hung out with them but yet he has Frank the German and a few others. But was curious of what you thought about people like that Thanks and I really appreciate what you do it's very entertaining and great stories
Wiggles was right before the Queensboro bridge on the Queens side of the bridge.
Thanks so much Jackie. Yeah I had heard of Wiggles but didn’t know where it was located. Maybe I have to do a short on mob owned strip joints
@@jameseproctorpmpHell, you could probably do an awesome full episode on “The Mob and Strip Clubs in History”.
Wiggles was in Rego Park, no where near the location you mentioned. The 2 strip clubs by the Queensboro bridge were City Scapes and Scandals.
@@GAT-pr6dt I got it confused with scandals my bad
@@jameseproctorpmp that’s a good idea
How did Albert Gallo get the nickname Kid Blast?
Couple of different stories out there but one I have heard is that he ended up having a gun go off by accident and they called him that. I have no idea if that’s true. Never got a definitive answer to that nickname
Sounds like a good time to make an exit stage right. It's been real guys...see ya...
Thanks Matt for watching.
I normally watch shows like this, But these days, you can look to Israel for a real life mob show in real time
I like Frank but I just don't know whether his story is legit or not.
His story is 100% true .
Thanks for the feedback
Good guess, but you need to let him talk !!!
I’m Sorry But He’s a Liar
You make everybody’s business every body’s business
