Joe Gulmi Deal Broker for the Gambino Crime Family

Joe Gulmi was associated with the Gambino crime family but his exact connection to them is subject to speculation. Multiple New York businesses noticed a man frequenting their establishments on multiple occasions. They assumed for a time that he was a bookie. Soon he began asking them to sign a contract with him in order to stave off IRS investigations. One local union committed $350,000 to a trust fund with Manufacturers Hanover Trust Bank. This was the financial institution that Gulmi advised the businesses he recruited to deposit their money in. Disastrous outcomes were in the offing.
