"On Wednesday, December 3, 1980, Angelo Martellano, maitre’d at Snug’s, was convicted of perjury charges after lying under oath about accepting a $50 bet from undercover FBI agent Dale Farmer (who used the name Donald Franks).
In one of the strangest informant moments ever, someone (a “former source”) spoke with the FBI on December 19, 1980 and told them there was an underworld group called the “Bain Slush” or “Nain Slush” and they had hitmen all over the country. He then proceeded to list off the names of the hitmen in cities all over the country, including Juneau, Alaska; Diamond Head, Hawaii; and Milwaukee. In the report, the agent questioned this source’s “veracity”.
An informant spoke with the FBI about Joseph Madrigrano on January 18, 1981. According to the source, Madrigrano was a member of the “Kenosha mob” and served as the coordinator between Frank Balistrieri’s Mafia activity in Milwaukee and Louie Volpentesta’s mob activity in Kenosha. The source believed that Volpentesta died around mid-1979. This may have been the same informant as October 2. (Note: While the author has no doubt that there was a separate criminal group in Kenosha going back to the early 1900s, with a bit of overlap, what is shocking is that I have never heard of Volpentesta, and he seems to have completely escaped the notice of the FBI who were more focused on Madrigrano, Iaquinta and DeCesaro. Who was this mysterious “boss” of the Kenosha mob? Peter Volpendesta lived until 2011, so he is probably not this “Louie”.)"
