Raffaele Raia, the Neapolitan Barber and the Origins of the Legendary “No Chumbolone” Cap

By: John Kass

A Chicago cop named Anthony Doyle—whom prosecutors described as a muscled-up messenger boy/juice loan collector for the Chicago Outfit’s Chinatown crew boss Frankie Calabrese— was adamant about not being considered a Chumbolone. And it cost him. So eager was Doyle to be thought of as Not a Chumbolone, that he testified in federal court.
