Sonny Gibson-Mafia Kingpin

I know this book is 100% BS but what is his real story? Did he have any LCN contacts? Anyone have any stories about him?

I had to look him up. He is an actor who claims the Mafia in America sent him to Sicily as. kid to train to be a human, bought him back and had him killing people. After getting out of prison he became an actor, and appeared on David Letterman in 1982. Sounds not too believable.

Jace...I read the book in early '80's when it came out. Pure fantasy lol. I know he went to federal prison in late 90's for 6 years for bank/wire fraud. During the 80's when the book came out he was extorting small businesses in the entertainment industry in LA by claiming to be the "Boss of Bosses"! And during that time he beat up an old man in a San Fernando Valley bar and pulled a gun and forced the guy to kiss his feet. Total whack job. And his movies were small time low budget stuff which he produced. Got investors to put up a few thousand and he stared in them. I don't think any were every distributed. I know he was a small time conman thug but was curious if anyone knew if he had any contact with the LA family during that time. By shooting his mouth off they had to have gotten wind of him.

I thought so Vegasskip, but if they ever make a movie about him and get Scorsese to direct, a lot of people will swear he's for real.
