Vincent Louis Gigante was born March 29, 1928. He was also known as 'The Chin', and was boss of the Genovese family during the years 1981 to 2005. In the mid-1960's he began to display some strange behaviour and habits that earned him the nickname The Oddfather. This act took considerable effort to maintain. He could often be seen shuffling around Greenwich Village in a bathrobe and slippers, mumbling to himself and appearing to be a disturbed but harmless person. Law-enforcement agents, prosecutors and informants described his behaviour as a staged performance calculated to avoid prosecution for his activities as head of a crime family that under his leadership became the wealthiest and most powerful in the US. FBI agents and prosecutors regarded Gigante as the most elusive Mafia leader of his era and the most difficult to bring to trial. In August 1996, a judge at the Federal District Court in Brooklyn ruled that Mr. Gigante was mentally competent to stand trial on murder and racketeering charges. The judge found that at least until 1991, Mr. Gigante had engaged in an 'elaborate deception' with the help of his relatives to deceive psychiatrists about his condition. During the trial in 1997, Gigante sat in a wheelchair, looking blankly into space as witnesses testified and lawyers argued. He did not testify. After three days of deliberations, the jury on July 25, 1997, convicted him on charges of running multimillion-dollar rackets as the Genovese family boss and of conspiring unsuccessfully in two murders during the late 1980's. The judge imposed a sentence of 12 years, plus a $1.25m fine. Vincent Gigante died part-way through his sentence, on December 19, 2005
