  • As rising young gangsters, the two brothers, “Handsome Jack” and “Joe the Blond,” hung out together at DeRobertis Pasticceria and Caffe in the East Village, allegedly learning the business at the knee of their uncle, Gotti underboss Armone, who used the bakery shop as a headquarters. In the late 1980’s after his uncle Joseph Armone was convicted on Federal racketeering charges, John Gotti promoted Handsome Jack to capo to take over Armone's crew. In June 1991, both he and his brother Joseph were charged with running a multimillion-dollar gambling operation that centered on betting on sports. John pleaded guilty in Manhattan State Supreme Court to two misdemeanor charges of promoting gambling, and served eight months of a one-year sentence. In August 1991 Giordano and seven members of his crew were indicted on numerous charges including murder. His crew conducted a lucrative business in gambling, loan sharking, extortion, dealing in drugs and weapons, and the production and distribution of forged credit cards. He and his crew were charged with murder, assault, extortion, coercion, intimidating witnesses, loan sharking, drug pushing, forgery, possession of forged credit cards and illegal gambling. He was also charged with the Nov. 6, 1989, murder of Robert Wyler in an auto-body shop on Staten Island. He was convicted on state racketeering and gambling charges in Nassau County and sentenced to a prison term of 4 to 12 years, but was free on bail.
