Note that Campisi was Director of export sales for the Bulova watch company. The Bulova watch company is claimed to be a CIA front company. 

Holy Smokes! Is this the same Campisi as in Dallas, who visited Ruby in his prison cell after the LHO assassination? 

And who was a buddy of Ruby's and Marcello's associate in Dallas?

That is my question.  

If it is, I mean this is really something.

But that Campisi is out of New York, Ben right?. This Joe Campisi had an Italian restaurant in Dallas. This article talks of alleged mob ties that i  had previously read in JFKA literature was a sure thing.  Good Picture!

Okay, I'm not sure if the Joe Campisi, alleged Dallas mob boss and the Joe Campisi in the CIA doc are one and the same as JFK Files twitter handle states.

The Joe Campisi in the legacy obit seems to be the one referred to in the CIA doc.  And is NOT the Dallas one.

Yes. Looks like another Jospeh Campisi in NY, who was anything but a mobster.

I imagine Blakey went down every avenue he could with regard to the Campisi in Dallas, since he was so heavily pursuing the Mob angle.

Perhaps this guy came up in his searches?

For sure. Blakey thought the JFKA was a mob hit.
