PB was Stevie sought after cos he was doing so well in construction. Or did he always hang in the company of gangsters .
The Feds didn't even know he was until Little Al flipped.
I'm exaggerating, of course, because he had already been named as an unindicted co-conspirator in one of Vinny DiNapoli's cases prior to that.
But when D'Arco told the Feds that Stevie had more construction projects than Sammy Gravano, it really set them off. You have to remember, this was the post-Gotti, gang busting '90s. If you were connected to LCN and you had money, the Feds wanted to seize it for themselves.
