. Absolutely. I’ve mentioned a couple months back Remo Franceschini. His book “ A Matter of Honor” is one of my favorites



Remo Franceschini was a political hack. The FBI hated him after he blew an investigation by grandstanding during an arrest (He jumped up on a table and started laughing and yelling about knowing that they called Paul Castellano "The Pope" in the club) and ruining their investigation. They realized the place was bugged and stopped talking there. The FBI agents were furious with him. Remo Franceschini did not care. He was all about himself.
