Yep, that's the guy. It checks out. Altho I didn't know about his whitepower history. How ironic that he got pinched for batterying a ol' FOB mick to death.

Yeah he's a really interesting figure int he Philadelphia OC crime scene. Had a definite hand in making Philly the "Meth Capitol of the World" in the 80. Ofc. along with the regulars. Pagans, Chelsais Bouras, John Martorano, Ronald Raiton etc etc.

Yeah tell me about it. He's a bit of a spaz when it comes to his image. He tried to sue Hornblum IIRC, and I believe he's gone straight and is a lawyer now.
He has even taken to having his people deface Wikipedia to remove his name out of relevant articles. Curious how someone like that can turn things around. Esp. when his crew was known for doing burglaries up and down the eastern seaboard for decades.
