Anthony Senter

Anthony Senter (born 1955) is a New York mobster who became of a member of the violent DeMeo crew in the Gambino crime family.

Born in Canarsie, Brooklyn, Senter was a nephew of Gambino caporegime Robert Senter. Anthony Senter was considered an handsome man with his dark brown eyes and black wavy hair brushed straight back off his forehead. As a young man, Senter jointed the DeMeo crew. He soon gained a reputation as a sadistic killer who enjoyed mutilating his victims. Senter also gained a reputation for providing the crew with significant revenue from auto theft. Senter's best friend in the DeMeo crew was mobster Joseph Testa. Crew members soon dubbed the two mobsters as the Gemini Twins because they enjoyed socializing together at the Gemini Lounge in Brooklyn. The DeMeo crew was notorious for their violence, suspected of between 75 to 200 murders through the mid 1970s to the early 1980s.

However, not everyone in the crew trusted Senter. Albert DeMeo, the son of caporegime Roy DeMeo, remarked about Senter that "...there was something slick and phony about him". Senter spent large amounts of money entertaining women and was as allegedly obsessed with his personal appearance. He wore expensive Italian leather slip-on shoes, tailor-made slacks, a Rolex watch, a large diamond ring on his Little finger finger, and a gold chain with a crucifix around his neck. A chain smoker, Senter once endured a collapsed lung.

On September 14, 1989, Senter was sentenced to life imprisonment. As of June 2008, Senter is serving his sentence at the United States Penitentiary (USP) Allenwood in Allenwood, Pennsylvania. His projected release date is October 13, 2032 though is widely expected to die in prison as release is highly unlikely due to the severity of violence in his crimes.
