Daniel "Danny" Manzo

Daniel Manzo a.k.a. ""Danny" grew up into a well-off mafia family on behalf of his father Francesco Manzo. Daniel did not become a full fledged mobster like his father, but a "connected guy" who was accepted by mobsters and knew much of the going ons inside the mafia families.

Work For The Bonannos

He managed the Bonanno crime family headquarters, the Wither's Italian-American War Veterans Club located at 415 Graham Avenue in Brooklyn, New York for Bonanno crime family capo Dominick Napolitano from 1975 to 1982.

The Italian-American Veteran's Club was Dominick Napolitano's personal social club located in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. He had Daniel use his name on the lease because of the difficulties that would arise if Napolitano applied for a liquor license, and the same with "The Motion Lounge". The Veteran's Club was a simple, quaint two-story building located diagonally across from Sonny's HQ and apartment "The Motion Lounge." The Club had a large front room with a small bar and a few card tables, and in the back had a private office for Manzo and Napolitano and a bathroom.

When Napolitano started up his "King's Court" gambling operation down in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, he was found out arrested an killed by the rival mobster family for having too much inside information.
