Vincent James Squillante, also known as Jimmy Jerome (June 7, 1919 – disappeared September 23, 1960), was an American New York mobster who belonged to the Gambino crime family and was known as "king of the garbage collection racket".

In 1963, Government informant Joe Valachi claimed that Squillante participated in the 1957 slaying of Anastasia underboss Frank "Don Cheech" Scalise.

Reportedly, the Gambino family worried that Squillante could not handle the upcoming trial and probable prison sentence.

According to some accounts, Squillante was handcuffed alive to the steering wheel of a rusty Chevrolet and the car was moved into a baling press type compactor.

However, some newspaper accounts of that period claim that Squillante was seen on September 30 at 2 a.m. driving around the Bronx in his brother-in-law's car.
