We know that Bony Tony did that. We just don't know when.
We know that Marcone recognized that the killing of Jenny Stanton and Tommy Tomm as being supernatural, by Marcone wanting to pick up Harry and hire him to do nothing.
We know that Marcone recognizes that the Three-eye is made through magical means, he just can't find the guy because the guy (Victor Sells/Shadowman) terrifies his distributors.
Didn't Marcone point Harry at Harley MacFinn? If he did, then he probably knew Harley's secret.

1) Do we know for sure that the storage locker belonged to Siriothrax?
2) Only a few weeks after Tony put the stuff on sale, Grevane showed up. So you're suggesting that Tony got the cache years earlier, and gave Marcone a couple paintings, and then sat on the rest? And that Marcone, just looking at the rest, realized the Supernatural was real? Because the text says Marcone told Tony about the supernatural after Grevane reached out to him.

My wild thought is that Marcone is related to or a known associate of a wizard. Hence the name change. And the lack of obvious surprise by the soulgaze. A wilder thought would be that he has worked with DuMorne. A more wilder thought would be that he is in some way related to Justin.

That's all too "small world" for me. I've got an idea that Marcone took the name of a dead man to get out of trouble. Specifically, that he was a street rat in 60's Chicago that joined the military as John Marcone to get out of town.

I think that if Marcone had anything from Siro's Hord, he wouldn't be magically winning at life and somehow becoming an equal peer with Mab and Hades overnight.
Remember there was a WoJ on Siro and how nobody wants to touch his stash because it has a Fuck-Mothering Dragons death-curse attached to it.
As for Marcone's history with the Supernatural, I don't think there was much of one. I think that Bianca and The Shadowman started a turf-war with him, and so he started digging.
And he found that yes, the supernatural is apparently a thing (As Anna Valmont said, they don't try all that hard to hide it) and that he has no real way to properly counter it. Which led him to Harry (Shady Ex-Con Wizard with a desperate need for cash) and later Monoc (Mercenary Security Firm) to provide expert help to both Counter potential threats and Expand his Empire into this new, untapped source of Wealth and Influence.

I agree on small world. But he has to have run into a wizard somewhere.
