That does not sound like something a civilian would do. Plus he was close enough to Etore Zappi for them to have that conversation, he was no innocent civilian. I'm glad this thread continued, we learn more as we go along.


Yes, he was an innocent civilian. Being given advice does not make you guilty of anything. What a ridiculous thing to say.

He was a victim of circumstances due to a tragic accident. The mafia are bad people. It's not a difficult concept to grasp.


He could have gone to to the FBI if he was a civilian, hewn to a mafia member he worked for. It's not a difficult concept to grasp.


What would do you think the FBI done for him? Provide security or place him in the WPP and move him and his famiky into a new identity, at taxpayer expense, without ever testifying or providing the government with any kind of useful information, not likely. I think he should have sold the car asap,, borrowed money, moved out and pay back the loan after the house was sold. The NYPD issued him a Concealed Carry Permut and he bought a gun but apparently didn't have it when he was abducted.
