Meet Spiros Velentzas

Greek-American organized crime is fairly recent in the United States,
mostly located on the east coast in New York and Philadelphia
specifically. Spiros Velentzas, who held control over Greek-American
neighborhoods in Queens during the 1980s and 90s, ran a highly
lucrative horse racing parlors using satellite dishes to pick up
racing results throughout the country (an innovative alternative to
the News Wire service of the early 20th century) as well as running
high stakes "barbut" dice games.

The "Five Families" of New York made no attempt to move in on
Velentzas operations however, as one mobster was said to have stated
those "...rotten Greeks know the game so damn good they'd cheat us
blind."

Working with the Lucchese crime family, who offered protection in
exchange for a percentage of their gambling operations, Velentzas was
able to keep out recently arriving Greek immigrants threatening to
muscle in on his gambling operations. Although attempting to expand
operations in areas controlled by the Gambino crime family, Greek
criminals retreated into their enclaves after warnings from the
Gambinos.

During the 1970s, Chelsais "Steve" Bouras headed Philadelphia's "Greek
Mob" until his death in 1981, gunned down at a South Philadelphia
restaurant by gunmen (supposedly ordered by New Jersey mobster
Nicodemo Scarfo).

Within major organized crime groups, prominent syndicate mobsters
include Tony "the Greek" Frankos, Demetrios Frangoulis, Alfonso
Frangoulis, Theodore Anton, Mike "The Greek" Potson and Gus Alex, the
latter a high ranking member of the Chicago Outfit.
