I'm surprised that some of you think Pistone was full of shit - or dirty. There was a contract on Pistone, even it it was just so the mob could save face and was more for show. When Lefty got out of prison he went to Massino and requested permission to kill Pistone and Massino turned him down. You can't blame him for how a documentary is edited. He sits there and answers questions and a production company takes care of the rest. I am generally not a fan of police, but I find it impossible not to respect Pistone. It was a big deal what he did at that time.
