| - Robilotto was a native of New York and first became associated with the Genovese crime family and was a partner with infamous mob turncoat, Joseph Valachi in a successful loan sharking business Joe had created. The business came under the scrutiny of powerful Genovese capo Anthony Strollo also known as "Tony Bender", a shifty, double-dealing crew boss, close to Vito Genovese. A compulsive gambler, Strollo let it be known he was losing heavily on the horses and wanted a share of Valachi and Robilotto's action. Valachi allegedly refused to give up any of his business to Strollo and was called to a meeting with his boss at a famous gangster rendezvous, Dukes restaurant in Cliffside Park, New Jersey. In the end Valachi and Robilotto had to give in to Strollo's demands, but rather than split his half of the business with Strollo, Valachi bought out Robilotto's shares and passed that share over to Bender. Robilotto at this time was just an associate. Robilotto allegedly worked for Strollo and at age 47 was sponsored into the Luciano organization (Later known as the Genovese crime family) by Strollo, but Frank Costello allegedly vetoed Robilotto on the grounds his brother was a cop. Albert Anastasia took a liking to Robilotto and worked him into his own family. Johnny was from that point on a loyal soldier and supporter of "The Mad Hatter".
