OK leaving aside the fact that he bullshits about some things.. well a lot of things, is the story about De Meo pistol whipping him true?

Have to say that the parts about De Meo in Carlo's book did not ring true.

"De Meo looked at Kuklinski with his cold, brown eyes. The eyes of someone with no soul. Unfeeling, merciless eyes. He congratulated Kuklinski on another job well done; another score settled; another victim tallied. "Well done Richie!" "Well done!" "You are stone cold, Richie!" "Stone cold!" Roy made Richie pasta with his special tomato sauce and then Kuklinski drove home. He felt happy after a job well done. Contented. Satisfied even. But he felt an anger slowly burning deep inside. It was manifesting deep inside. Burrowing into his soul even. He made the characteristic clicking sound in the side of his mouth and as Barbara greeted him at the door, hoping Richard was in one of his good moods - the good Richard - he punched her, breaking her nose. Barbara was in pain. Suffering. Agony. Discomfort. Torment even. Kuklinski went to bed and began plotting his next killing. His next score to settle. His next victim. His next cold blooded murder."
