Capeci loved him for Murder machine, Montigio lied about his military service and was exposed in the book Stolen Valor as a fraud regarding his being in Vietnam. He was a drug addict on heroin who claimed he was meeting with Castellano, maybe he inspired John "I demoted Joe Gallo" Alite to lie to such extremes.
What's your point? It doesn't diminish the severity of anyone's crimes even if he embellished what he did in Vietnam. Enough of the constant whataboutery surrounding every guy who ever cooperated against mobsters.
