Was a huge force in the methamphetamine trade in Philadelphia, another very violent business. Fought off Wayne Grande during an assassination attempt at the age of like, sixty eight. But he isn't to be taken seriously...

Untouchables was a television show, Terranova was long dead before that series even came into existence. Should we really believe that he was like that in real life?

Jimmy Fratianno is another guy who wouldn't think twice about putting two bullets in your head.


None of these guys were stupid, inept, or not dangerous.

You are right, but compared to guys like Casso, Anastasia, Scarfo and DeStefano they were almost harmless.
But anyway, you saw I titled it "Absurd thread", it's just to take a laugh. If we REALLY try to find a "genuinely likeable" guy in the mafia, there will be none.

Willie Marfeo to Henry Tameleo:

1) "You people want a loaf of bread and you throw the crumbs back. Well, fuck you. I ain't closing down."

2) "Get out of here, old man. Go tell Raymond to go shit in his hat. We're not giving you anything."
