sal vitale must be it, he worked until he was in his late 30s, completely legit work. he marries joe massinos sister, hes underboss of the bonannos in 5 yrs.lol. perfect example.
Yeah, and look what happened there
.
Generally speaking, unless you have an in in your family (like Vitale did), you're not hooking up with a crew in your middle age. If you're fifty years old and no one ever heard of you, who are you going to get to trust you?
Look at this Jack Garcia guy. The guy was in his 50s, no one ever heard of him, and no red flags went up when that guy brought him around The Bronx?
Now granted, fooling Greg DePalma wasn't like slipping one past Patrick Roy in his prime. But still. The guy should have been vetted. Just as
anyone that age who didn't grow up in the neighborhood should be vetted.
But then again, maybe that's one of the reasons why the mob is in the shape that it's in.
