In addition to the Gambinos, I figured that Matty "the Horse" Ianello kept the Genovese family knee deep in the taboo sex activities. And I imagined he was involved with some really sick stuff in Times Square.
Shaking down gay bars on the west side and condoning kiddie porn are two entirely different things.
I don't romantacize these guys and I have no illusions as to how Matty got rich, or what he'd do to you if you owed him money
. But he
never would have gone in for anything like that.
Ever.
Roy DeMeo? Different story. I have no illusions about that guy either.
