Yeah. He was close to Larry Black's nephew, who was a very close friend of mine. I don't want to post his name but he was an ex-fireman and a champion bike racer.

And Slim had a horde of bookmakers and numbers guys around him. Billy B and Mikey Y up in Yonkers. Big Mike from Baychester/238th/Nereid was with him, too. Mike had a fucking mansion out in Jersey. He was taking numbers long after most of the street guys gave up the ghost, even after Wakefield went colored. Big Mike was all balls, but to be honest I wasn't crazy about him. Slim loved him, though. But then again, he brought Slim a lot of money over the years .

That stuff can't be Googled, either. How am I doing?
