Carmine Lombardozzi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carmine "The Doctor" Lombardozzi (February 8, 1913 – May 9, 1992) was a made member of the Gambino family in New York. He was involved in loansharking and racketeering, and was said to have earned the Gambino crime family a substantial amount of money during his criminal career. Also known as the "King of Wall Street", Lombardozzi, though only a caporegime (lieutenant), allegedly ran the entire Gambino shylock and stock market rackets.[1]
He attended the infamous Apalachin Meeting in November 1957, where he was arrested along with many other top mobsters.
He died of natural causes in 1992, at the age of 79.
