  • Russo was a skilled cat burglar which is how he earned the nickname "Little Pussy" short for "Little Pussycat", he was the younger brother of John Russo, a fellow Genovese family soldier who was known as "Big Pussy". He was a made man in the Newark, New Jersey faction of the Genovese crime family which was run by veteran genovese capo Richard Boiardo. When it came to living the life, Russo was nothing if not a caricature of an old-fashioned mob boss. His hands covered with gaudy jewelry, he would drive around in a pink Cadillac convertible, radio blaring, reveling in the attention and intimidation he could provoke. Russo first came to public attention at the end of the World War II, when he was caught selling counterfeit sugar ration coupons. He earned his nickname from Newark cops impressed with his ability to elude them after burglaries by scaling fences with the agility of a cat. His brother's nickname came from a similar talent. For years, Russo was a fixture in the Oranges, his hangout a West Orange drug store where the shiny Caddy would sit parked outside for hours while he ran his bookmaking and loansharking businesses. According to those who knew him, however, Russo's bombast masked the fact that he was nearly illiterate, a thug who made up in volume what he lacked in smarts. He wasn't particularly well-liked or even respected, though he displayed a gift for malapropisms that included boasting of putting his assets "into escarole". For a time, he served as a driver for Mafia czar Vito Genovese, the powerful mob "don" who lived in Atlantic Highlands and founded what would emerge as one of America's most powerful crime families. Russo was known as "a big mouth". He was once picked up on FBI surveillance cautioning Angelo DeCarlo to stay away from Ruggiero Boiardo's mansion mentioning that many men had been taken there to be killed and that in the back of the Boiardo estate lied a furnace used to the destroy the bodies, stating that he himself had once dragged a victims dead body to the furnace by a chain tied around his throat to be disposed of.
