The Embassy Club in Brooklyn was Salvatore Tessio's base of operations. He gained control of it following the fall of Salvatore Maranzano in the 1930s, and later hired Carmella Rotunda to pose as the legitimate owner in case of police suspicion. Tessio fled, but when cornered, he met his death with dignity, claiming to the end that it was 'just business', as he was quickly executed by Trapani. After this the Club briefly became property of Rocco Lampone, before being handed over to Aldo Trapani.
