Profaci was not a drug trafficker. He was the "olive-oil king". A multi millionaire. No need for him to go into drugs. He was extremely devoted to his businesses. There´s very little info on him which shows how low key he was. Did he use his connections/muscles in order for his businesses to flourish? Absolutely! Was he a murderer? Absolutely! But a drug trafficker he was not.

It´s amazing how many tough, stone cold killers that "small" Family of his has produced. Johnny Oddo, Bonasera, Sally Mussacchio, Greg Scarpa Sr, Carmine Persico and his brother Alphonse, Sonny Franzese, Mimi Scialo, Jiggs Forlano, the Gallo brothers, Allie Giannattasio, Joe Jelly, Rocky Miraglia, Charlie "Moose" Panarella, Tommy Spero etc, etc. All heavy hitters and deadly serious.

Pete "The Greek", Joey Gallo´s bodyguard explained in his book The Sixth Family his anger and disgust over Jimmy Breslin´s The Gang That Couldn´t Shoot Straight: "The writer our crew would have loved giving a beating to was Jimmy Breslin. The whole thing was funny. The Profaci war was just a bunch of laughs. Well, Breslin should have spent one night with us, found out what it would feel like if some Profaci clipped him in the ass. Even with a small Baretta, he wouldn´t be fucking laughing. That´s for sure!"
