Thomas Lentini was a “key” operative in the Pleasant Avenue drug trade of East Harlem. Identified by the FBI as an “associate” of the Lucchese Family’s uptown crew and close to Carmine Tramunti, he was later reidentified as a close figure in the Genovese Family. Moe was actually very close to both organizations since he was raised in the area and had close boyhood friends from both Families.
