Biography[]

Vinnie was born in New York City in 1967, joining the Leone crime family in the 1990s. In 1994, Toni Cipriani killed a made man from another family and was forced to flee overseas. When Toni left, Vinnie stepped up and began doing more and more for his boss Salvatore Leone, eventually rising up the ranks to becoming Sal's right-hand man.

Toni's Return[]

In 1998, Toni came back and began to do more work and Salvatore began to pay attention to Toni more. This caused Vinnie to become jealous and begin to lash out against Toni. He was very rude to Toni and would insult him every chance he got. One night he sent Toni to pick up a car. As Toni arrived, the cops showed up and tried to arrest Toni. Toni managed to escape, beginning to stop working for Vinnie. Vinnie was killed after a shootout on a boat with Toni Cipriani. Vinnie sent out Leone family members who were loyal to Vinnie after Toni with chainsaws. Toni killed them all and then shot and killed Vinnie.
