Joseph Orapallo, 57, and his son Frank, 22, were arrested in Staten Island after law enforcement discovered a considerable cache of ghost guns, ammunition, and firearm-making equipment in their home. They are linked to the notorious Colombo crime family through Joseph Orapallo's late father, Joseph T. Tomasello. The findings have stirred speculation regarding their possible ties to organized crime. Joseph Orapallo has distanced himself from his family's criminal legacy by adopting his mother's maiden name, suggesting an attempt to break away from the stigma associated with his father’s actions.
