December of 1984 Fiato met with L.A. mob soldier Rocco Zangari at a Hollywood bar. As Fiato approached Zangari he shook his hand, and Zangari patted Fiato on the back and felt a recording device. Fiato's cover was blown. The Fiato's moved to a hotel in Bakersfield after Anthony Fiato told the FBI what happened at the bar. Life in the mob for the Fiato's were finished.
That seems odd since the LA family wasn't indicted until over 2 years later.
