October 15, 2021 — Former Florida mob soldier John (Big John) Mamone was indicted last week in West Palm Beach on charges of Medicare fraud. Mamone, 70, pleaded not guilty to stealing almost $4,000,000 bucks in phony healthcare claims for knee, ankle, shoulder and wrist braces and was released on a half-million dollar bond. He was a member of the Trafficante crime family’s South Florida satellite crew in its last vestiges of existence. These days, he lives in Delray Beach.
The Trafficante clan was based out of the Tampa area for years, but has since gone dormant. Two decades ago, Mamone left the mafia and entered the Witness Protection Program after taking a federal racketeering pinch. Before being inducted into the Trafficante organization in the mid-1990s, Mamone was an associate of New York’s Genovese crime family.
