Thanks Faffy. Glad you enjoyed it. And for the same reasons you already enumerated, I enjoy researching these types of guys better myself. I enjoy the challenge, and its refreshing to uncover something new, as opposed to just regurgitating the same old stuff that everyone has already read over and over a million times already.



Faffy, since you enjoy reading about these kinds of guys, another bio I wrote that comes to mind you'll like is that of Pittston's Luigi (Lou) Pagnotti, who was an extremely wealthy and influential mafioso affiliated with the Bufalino Family. Despite an extensive early criminal background which was the basis for his later power, Pagnotti became one of the most respected and sort after "legitimate" businessmen across northeastern Pennsylvania.

I was intrigued with his life story. I think you will be too.
