It's all a mystery with him. He allegedly became capo of the Greenwich St crew sometime in the 1960's then shot up to underboss in 1981 then secretly became boss when Fat Tony had a stroke.

I'm sure he left plenty of untraceable cash behind for his children. I'm sure it was all about power, because he sure didn't get to enjoy that money. I wonder if he ever left the NY/NJ area his whole life other than to go to prison.
