Should probably ask Mr. Kierney. I guess if you're Italian, you should be in prison. I've read the RICO Act, and I can tell you it's more appropriate... for some of those guys over in Washington than it is for me or any of my fellas here

Especially when you consider that he manhandled the number one female player in the world just a few months prior to the King match. But I have a hard time believing that Marcello and Trafficante would have been directly involved in this. But I guess you never know . "I got news for you.
