  • Joe Butch's crew was involved in loan sharking, extortion, gambling, and other traditional rackets. Joe Butch owned several Manhattan eateries, including Taormina and Cafe Biondo, both on Mulberry Street. John Gotti often frequented Taormina. Joe Butch also had an interest in Brooklyn-based Bayside Fuel, located on the Gowanus Canal near the corner of Smith Street and Ninth Street, which supplied heating oil to large housing complexes and homes in New York City. Bayside's owner Anthony Allegretti employed Corrao officially as a "salesman", however, when Mayor David Dinkins and his staff learned of Allegretti's connections to Corrao, he ordered the Housing Authority to strip the company of its contracts to heat the City's apartment buildings in 1993, costing the firm millions of dollars. Historically, the home heating oil business was traditionally corrupt, filled with truckers and fuel executives who skim by pumping air instead of fuel and split their profits with mobsters like Corrao.
