Agreed. I´m sure there are FBI files available on him and requestable through FOIA, but other than Pistone´s info on him, there is not much out there that´s accessible.
I know his real name was Angelo J. Greca and that he was born in 1927. He did a stint in jail in the early 1970s after been arrested in Switzerland (!) on charges of conspiracy to transport and sell a $100,000 U.S. Treasury note stolen from a New York brokerage firm.


Ah interesting stuff. Bit random he was in Switzerland!

I'm sure I recall that in Joe Pistone's book it mentions that Jilly was whacked in 1980 whilst sat in his car at a traffic light. So that concludes that he was whacked because the Bonnano's thought he might flip, rather than having anything to do with the Bonnano's getting rid of anyone who let Pistone into the family - which of course was 1981 onwards.
