I heard he was made as a favor to Scarfo from Amuso, not sure how correct it is. As the guys above me said, he did have a couple of schemes going so I'm sure he earned good for a while.

No idea if he killed or not, probably not but my estimation he's probably a real gangster.. but he has big shoes to fill, his father's.. just like Jr Gotti, so at the end of the day they can never be as big of gangsters as their fathers.
