Biography[]
Curly Bob was born in Brooklyn, New York City to a family of Irish descent, and he found work as a bartender at the Luigi's Sex Club 7 strip/dance club under the Leone crime family pimp Luigi Goterelli. He had access to vital information on the Leone family, as the club was frequented by Mafia members. By October 2001, Bob was passing information to the Colombian cartel of Catalina Vialpando in exchange for money and drugs, allowing for the Colombians to establish a foothold in the city and rival the Mafia. Curly Bob made the mistake of flaunting his wealth, throwing around more money than he earned. Don Salvatore Leone figured that Curly Bob must have been the traitor within his ranks, and he sent his hitman Claude Speed to tail Curly Bob from the club and find out if he was snitching.
Sure enough, Curly Bob exited Luigi's Sex Club 7 in a taxi cab and had the driver take him to the docks at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Curly Bob met with Catalina Vialpando and her second-in-command Miguel Torres, and he told them that the Leones were fighting a war on two fronts: they were in a stalemate during their turf war with the Brooklyn Triads, while Joey Leone stirred up some bad blood with the Forelli crime family. Vialpando gave him his drugs, and she sarcastically asked him why he would have anything to worry about with "loyal men" like Curly Bob working for him. Catalina and Miguel drove off, leaving Curly Bob alone at the docks. Claude Speed ran him over with a car after listening in on the conversation, killing the snitch.
