This guy in unbelievable. He writes books, does podcasts, and knows nothing. For those unfamiliar with him his relatives were friends with Crazy Joe Gallo, and it seems he met them a few times. He has turned that into a living, writing books, claiming one that he turned down getting made, and doing interviews where he says he was in the middle of high level meetings. In this short one below, he is asked if Gambino member Joseph Nicholas Gallo was related to the Gallo brothers. His answer, which is long, states more than once that Jospeh N. Gallo was a Columbo member! The interviewer, who does mob videos, is unaware of the error. It's one big screw up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNqtlmn5UU4

His book on Galante was excellent. He or the co-author tracked Galante's record back to his teens. Only missing piece was his time in prison. I have not read the book, but a person who did said he claimed Galente used to torture people with acid a he killed them. If DiMatteo said that he is getting worse with his ridiculous stories. I haven't read the book either, but why do you think Galante torturing people with acid is so unbelievable? There have been gangsters who could well call him a "softie" even if it's true. Just look at Filippo Marchese, Toto' Riina, Sam DeStefano etc. Torture isn't exactly unheard of in the mafia.

Willie Marfeo to Henry Tameleo:

2) "Get out of here, old man. Go tell Raymond to go shit in his hat. We're not giving you anything."

Just look at Filippo Marchese, Toto' Riina, Sam DeStefano etc. I never heard it before; it would have come out long ago, and no one would call him a softie. The overwhelming majority of Mafia members do not kill that way. One more big point: How would DiMatteo know? He was a nothing, and even the Gallo's, who he claims he was with, would not know how Galante killed anyone.

What I meant is that there are gangsters even more violent than him; meaning a "softie" by comparison only, if compared to them. But you are probably right that DiMatteo wasn't in a position to know though... I understand and see your point.
