Biography[]

Bones Malpasto was born in Brooklyn, New York City to a family of Sicilian descent. As a youth, he worked as a dice hustler, and he was nicknamed "Bones" for telling other dice players "Gimme all the bones!" after he won the entire pot. He also became a banker, as well as a Tattaglia crime family associate. Malpasto ran the Tattaglias' counterfeiting operation from Midnight Rosie's in Brooklyn, and Corleone crime family enforcer Aldo Trapani forced him to switch allegiances to the Corleones in December 1945.
