if you read Joe Bonnanos book you would think he was a boy scout leader
Lol! Right, like he never made an illegitimate dollar in his life.
Very true. In his interview he says the same (I'm a good guy, never committed a crime), then contradicts himself: when asked what's the punishment for having an affair with a family member's wife or daughter, he says:
DEATH!!!
When asked, who has to do it, he says: family members. The journalist asks him: can the betrayed husband participate too? Bonanno says: yeah, if he wants to.
