DEATH BODY ROY DEMEO PROFESSIONAL
He leaves his nice home and children where he is Dad and the enforcer of rules and goes into the city for his work as a professional criminal. This is always one of those things I find fascinating about these mob guys.
The Art of murderīy age 32, DeMeo was living in an expensive home with his wife and children. He claimed he owned a variety of businesses and was in construction, owned a restaurant, and a used car lot.
He maintained a cover job as a salesman for a Brooklyn company named S & C Sportswear Corporation. DeMeo used the credit union money to supplement his money available to loan in his loansharking business. This guy never missed a chance to make some money. He became the money launderer for many New York drug dealers. Roy DeMeo used his position at the credit union to launder illegal profits from loansharking and drug dealing as well as other rackets. In one of his more sophisticated operations, Roy joined the Borough of Brooklyn Credit Union and used his Gambino influence to gain a position on the board of directors. Roy DeMeo infiltrates the Brooklyn Credit Union They were described as “sadistic homicidal maniacs,” “the crazy killers,” “ice-cold murderous maniacs,” “lethal animals,” “barbaric psychopaths,” and “brutal psychopathic killers.” Law Enforcement at the time estimated the DeMeo crew contained over 40 men who were each trying to outdo each other as vicious, ruthless, bloodthirsty psychopathic killers. Law enforcement often described the Demeo crew as the deadliest and most feared Mafia crew of the 5 Families in New York. The FBI claimed the DeMeo crew was responsible for as many as 200-300 murders from the mid-1970s to the early 1980s. I remember a Sopranos’ episode where they cut up Richie Aprile’s body in Satriale’s Pork Store using the utensils normally used for the pork. Roy DeMeo had once worked as a butcher in his early life, and some mob historians claim the Gemini Lounge was more like the killing floor in a slaughterhouse except they killed and butchered humans instead of pigs. Like the Jimmy Burke crew meeting at the nearby Bamboo Lounge, the DeMeo crew came in almost every day and drank, planned scores, critiqued past scores, gossiped as any mafia crew might do at their social club. The building is still there, and in an ironic twist, it is now the Purpose Life Church. He installed his cousin, crew member Joseph “Dracula” Guglielmo, into the adjoining apartment as a security procedure to prevent the NYPD cops and/or FBI from planting listening devices.
DeMeo was a gun nut and he stored an impressive arsenal of machineguns, automatic rifles, and silencers in a storeroom at the lounge. During this time he recruited another psychopathic killer named Henry Borelli. DeMeo owned a Brooklyn tavern at 4021 Flatlands Ave. He became a proficient killer who will live on in mob lore for the deeds of “DeMeo crew.” Joey Testa and Anthony Senter, who became known as the “Gemini Twins,” were the most feared crew members. A New Murder Inc.Īfter a life devoted to crime in his teens and early 20s, Nino Gaggi will mentor Roy Demeo as an associate of the Gambino crime family. Joseph “Dracula” Guglielmo, Anthony Senter, and brothers Joseph Testa and Patrick Testa became the core members of Demeo’s crew. In the early 1970s, Chris introduced some of his friends to Roy. With Roy as his partner, Chris became an illegal drug wholesaler with street dealers working for him. Roy had connections and money that allowed Rosenberg to deal with narcotics in larger amounts. DeMeo finds Rosenberg hanging out at a popular Canarsie gas station where he was basically a street dealer. One of his first recruits is a high school friend named Chris Rosenberg. He recruited other neighborhood guys to steal cars and sell drugs. Roy DeMeo will find other criminal opportunities as an associate to Gaggi’s crew. Nino Gaggi uses his Gambino connections to increase young Roy’s loanshark business by investing his cash into the young loan shark and sent him men who needed larger loans than DeMeo’s high school friends. Growing up in this atmosphere young Roy DeMeo, not unlike Henry Hill, notices that the men who have the money as represented by cash, cars, jewelry, and neighbor respect are all “connected guys” like Nino Gaggi. It would be during this time he is noticed by a Gambino crime family soldier named Nino Gaggi who takes him under his wing. As a teenager, he starts loansharking while enrolled in James Madison High School. Roy Albert DeMeo was born into the Mafia neighborhood of Bath Beach Brooklyn. How did Roy DeMeo get into a Life of Crime
