Giuseppe "Joe the Baker" Generoso turned to Gambino captain Michael "Mikey Scars" DiLeonardo for protection against Colombo underboss William "Wild Bill" Cutolo. Generoso later became a target for Gambino soldier Anthony "Todo" Anastasio, who extorted him for decades. After refusing increasing demands, Generoso survived a 2005 shooting outside his Staten Island home. Todo, linked to the infamous Anastasia family, committed suicide in 2010 to avoid prison. These events highlight the intertwined legacy of mob influence in New York's restaurant and union industries.
