He seems to appear on many of the Christian tv shows, The 700 club etc. I guess it makes for a good story going from a mobster to a preacher. In reality I think it's pretty much accepted that he's a bullshitter, the guy claims to have been 3rd in command of the Gambinos at one point even tough his name never comes up in anything and nobody seems to have a clue who he is.

His claim of being Joe Masseria's grandson also sounds like BS, surely this would be quite simple to verify if it were true.
