Sam DeStefano had a sound proof torture chamber in the basement of his house. I'd say that goes above and beyond. There was an episode of "Mobsters" that featured Sam and there was footage of him threatening reporters to leave his brother alone and he looked like he was pretty unhinged. Bet there were some relieved folks in Chicago when Tony Spilotro blasted him a few times with the shotgun in his garage/driveway.
