--------
Former Lucchese crime family member Frank Gioia Jr. revealed secrets about the hidden conflicts between the Luccheses and the Gambinos during the early 1990s. Gioia discusses becoming a "made man" in 1991, a status that surprisingly left him unchanged. He detailed the clandestine conflict with the Gambinos, where Lucchese members covertly targeted five key Gambino figures without suffering any casualties themselves. Notably, Gioia confirmed an attempted car bomb assassination on John Gotti in 1986. Beyond mafia feuds, Gioia shared a personal anecdote about how he handled competition against his sister’s Tribeca salon. He resorted to fire bombing a rival salon that attempted to poach clientele, a plan executed without his sister's knowledge.
