dupont hit someone who owed him money. as gottis lackie he wanted to impress the upper echolon so he whacked the guy. then got life in jail for it. great career. i spose he symbolises the side of the mafia we dont remember. the type of guys who try and try all their lives to be made and never get the power. look at sammy the bull's personal luca brasi. after all them years in the life and all the murders he comitted he only got made on his deathbed. sad.
