Settimo "Big Sam" Accardi Bloomfield, New Jersey Mobster

Settimo Accardi was a major crime figure in the northern New Jersey rackets until the early 1950s. He teamed with Abner Longie Zwillman, Joe Adonis, and Willie Moretti, Mafiosi of more widespread notoriety. The rackets were comprised of gambling, especially at the Commonwealth Casino that Adonis ran in Lodi, New Jersey. My e-book looks extensively at Accardi's deportation that originated in 1953. Treasury agents discovered that "Big Sam" had lied about his criminal record at his citizenship hearing in 1945.
