On this day in 1940 the former acting boss of the Gambino Crime Family, Nicholas Corozzo was born. Little Nick was a rival of John Gotti during the 1980’s but because Corozzo was a good earner for the family, Gotti didn’t get rid of him by the time he became boss in the mid-80’s. By the mid-1990’s with Gotti behind bars, Corozzo stood in as acting boss but was then jailed in 1997, and then spent the next 11-12 years in and out of jail.
His expected release was March 2, 2020.
