He was one of the attendees of the ill fated mob conference in Apalachin, New York in 1957. His father was John Sciandra, a Sicilian mobster who was led the Pittston-Scranton crime family and was allegedly killed on the orders of Joseph Barbara in 1940 at which point Barbara became the boss of the family. His only known arrest prior to 1960 was conspiracy to obstruct justice regarding Apalachin. He was a known trong-arm man in the garment industry. Sciandra was allegedly a skilled musician and helped fight the labor wars between Bufalino and the ILGWU (International League of Garment Workers Industry). He was the owner of Ann-Lee Frocks Dress Co. in Pittston and operated an elaborate arsonist scheme. He would rob his own dress factory of its machines and pay off police to store them in their storage rooms, replace the machines with burnt machinery, committed arson to collect the insurance, and kept the machines for later use. He was reportedly a close associate of Russell Bufalino. He reportedly retired from the Mafia in 1989 and went to live in St. Louis, MO. He died of natural causes in 2005.
