I just find it hard to believe that an Italian immigrant who spoke in broken English could become so seemingly wealthy in the span of time which he did so. Excluding the possibility that he came from money (which is possible but I don't know), is Mafia involvement possible or was he simply a very talented businessman? Extremely touchy to answer. We do know that some Mafia members back then were fully legitimate people. There were lawyers, merchants, all kind of businessmen and even priest as fully initiated members. Would you care to name your ancestors? I fully understand if you don´t want to.
