In Blue Bell Boy., Joe Masseria (Ivo Nandi) wants 30 percent of Lucky’s sideline.

More on Joe Masseria from the book Five Families by Selwyn Raab:

“New York’s largest Italian gang in the mid-1920s was based in East Harlem and headed by Giuseppe ‘Joe’ Masseria, a middle-aged Sicilian immigrant. Short and corpulent, Masseria’s puffy cheeks and small, narrow eyes earned him the nickname ‘the Chinese.’ Masseria, however, dubbed himself ‘Joe the Boss’ and was the first to use that designation for the head of an American Mafia family instead of the traditional Sicilian title ‘father.’

Masseria’s ascension rested on a violent, blood-soaked record. He led a gang that killed more than thirty opponents in battles over bootlegging territories and illegal gambling operations. His favorite expression for ordering the execution of a rival was instructing an underling to ‘take that stone from my shoe.’

Despite his unathletic portly physique, Masseria possessed an uncanny agility when dodging bullets and outrunning and escaping assassins in street ambushes and gunfights. His carnal appetite was as gross as his quest for power.

He would sit down several times a day to huge meals, wolfing down three plates of pasta just as a side dish. Masseria’s trencherman habits and atrocious, table manners — food often splattered from his mouth as he harangued dining companions — gave rise to another nickname from his detractors: ‘Joe the Glutton.'”
