One of the things that intrigued me about the book was the numerous times Gravano claimed to have detailed conversations with Castellano about business, up to and including hits.
It could be bunk of course but why would a boss want to have direct discussions with a soldier about what that soldier was doing? I mean Gravano was known as a moneymaker but still..
I don't know if Castellano really was that reckless or if Gravano was just making up those portions of his story.
