. Let's think about this: If Joe Pesci did not play him in Casino, orin Scorsese did not make the movie, no one would talk this much of Spilatro. His background comes more from rumors generated from the movie and book, bolstered by the rumors spread by people who barley knew him over the past 20 years.
Disagree as the biggest Chicago mob trial in the last 2 decades centered around him and his bro being murdered. He was a pretty big deal in Vegas as well in the 70s and 80. Casino may have played it up a bit, but Spilotro was a pretty strong force in that life in his heyday.
