I am someone who doesn't believe in coincidence. In the movie Goodfellas
Joe pesci's Tommy character said specifically "You Bought your fucking button" to Bill Batts. Now I do realize that is a general statement that could be meant just to offend. Although I Don't have verification, I do believe
the member WILLIAM "BILLY BATTS" BENTVENA was apart of the crop of guys in the 50s who took advantage of Frank Scalise selling buttons for an allotted sum of money.
