The fat asshole known in New England mob circles as "Fat Vinny" Teresa had an interesting Australia-related post script to his "career".

He made a much ballyhoo'd entry to Australia in '77, riding on the coattails of being one of the prototype mob rat's. Ostensibly here to appear before an "unofficial" inquiry into illegal casino's and betting parlours, he is reported to have left the country "hurriedly" after being accused by the Federal Government of entering under a false name, leaving the prosecutors and authorities that "requested" his presence red-faced. A bad example anyway, since he was in later years proven to be mostly full of shit.

It was during one of the so called "witch-hunts"; that is, legitimate cause investigation's that invariably went nowhere, and more then that, were created despite never being expected to, at least according to certain allegations.
