I agree with JCrusher - I don't get the Bullshitter vibe off this guy you get off Cutolo Jr. or Alite; I'd likewise be inclined to believe that he was the real deal. And the way bodies were dropping in that war, it only logically follows that they'd be making guys to swell their ranks. Plus you know anyone mentoring under Scarpa is going to get noticed. It would seem like Scarpa could have picked whoever he wanted to be in his own crew.

Is anyone aware of any CW testimony that backs up Mazza's making story? Seems the Colombo's have a longstanding tradition of making guys on Halloween so are we thinking October '91 or '92?

Would be interested to know if anyone knew the answer to this, more definitively.
