Biography[]

Credenzo Curtis was from Irvington, New Jersey, and he was business partners with Stanley Johnson. The two of them regularly provided DiMeo crime family member Christopher Moltisanti with heroin to feed his habit, and Moltisanti hired them to whack Lupertazzi crime family boss Carmine Lupertazzi in 2002. The hit was called off, however, and Moltisanti decided that the two dealers knew too much. He lured them to a meeting under a bridge in the Meadowlands, where he gave them the rest of their payment in a suitcase, telling them to keep the cancelled hit a secret. The two of them then entered their SUV, but they were shot dead by Benny Fazio and Petey LaRosa before they could leave.
