I think he said he was raised in south philly. He was a taxi driver he did gas station stick ups. And he was good at long cons. They said he was out of his league when he tried extorting that construction in philly. I dont like how crazy phill acted like the guy should never been made. His job was to make money and he did. Doesnt try to glamorise it. Everybodys uncle cant be the boss.
