What is vinny gorgeous?

Vinny Gorgeous, whose real name is Vincent Basciano, is a former mobster and boss of the Bonanno crime family in New York City. He earned the nickname "Vinny Gorgeous" for his stylish clothing and grooming habits.

Basciano was born on November 14, 1959, in Brooklyn, New York. He rose through the ranks of the Bonanno crime family, eventually becoming acting boss in the early 2000s after the arrest of then-boss Joseph Massino.

In 2004, Basciano was arrested on multiple charges, including racketeering, conspiracy to commit murder, and illegal gambling. In 2011, he was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison without parole.

During his time in prison, Basciano was involved in a high-profile trial in which he was accused of ordering the murder of a mob associate. The trial resulted in a mistrial, but Basciano was later convicted in a separate trial and sentenced to life in prison.

Vinny Gorgeous continues to serve his life sentence in federal prison, where he remains a notorious figure in the world of organized crime.
