He was an intimate of some of the most infamous mobsters in mafia history including Lucky Luciano, Vito Genovese, Frank Costello, and even Longy Zwillman, who Catena had worked for early in his mob career. Catena is definitely an interesting guy which is why we decided to put out a video answering the question "Who Was Genovese Family Acting Boss Jerry Catena?" We actually published this piece of mafia history originally on our accompanying website, Button Guys of the New York Mafia a while back, but thought he'd make a great addition to our Mob Fireside Chat library. Jerry Catena had his hands in Las Vegas casinos like The Sands, The Horseshoe, and the Fremont, and he also got involved in a scam involving the now-defunct A&P supermarket chain (and he and his brother, Gene Catena, weren't nice about it either!) And of course, there's his long history with the infamous Bally Company. Hey! You made it this far! Comment "Mob history is fascinating" so we notice you! Never forget that MOB HISTORY is American History because the AMERICAN MAFIA, as you may or may not know, infiltrated the very fabric of American society. We're not here to pass judgment on individual mob guys and what they did or didn't do. We're just here to share knowledge about other mobsters who were part of the MAFIA machine and who usually get overshadowed in the MOB GENRE by the more popular guys such as LUCKY LUCIANO, John Gotti, and the always popular, AL CAPONE. New Jersey mobster (and mob boss) JERRY CATENA of the GENOVESE CRIME FAMILY is one of those guys who often gets overlooked. If you really want an eye-opening experience on the underworld, then you should visit BUTTON GUYS OF THE NEW YORK MAFIA at www.thenewyorkmafia.com and discover a whole new world of fascinating mafia history!
