I also gamble with a few gents who grew up in that era and were pretty close to the Pungs and in the know. From what they say when Salvie Testa got killed everyone was happy and fine with it, and all of the regret and thinking it was such a mistake came years and years later and is probably BS. Mafia Prince is a great read but you can easily tell Leonetti is grasping at straws trying to justify things and make himself look better.


I agree Vegas. Any person that is involved in their own book is always gonna make it sound the best for themselves. Look at Bill Bonanno Anthony Casso and so on..... I mean their not gonna make themselves look bad ya know. But hey the books make for awesome reading there is no denying that. I enjoyed Mafia Prince
