Back to the book for a minute.....
"I got involved in some low level scams to keep the eyes of the law on me and not where the real action was. I took a few pinches to keep the heat off other areas"

Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrright! Sure ya did.

He also says that in January of 95 "Saleme loyalist John Martorano was indicted along with Bulger, Kaufman........". While its true he was arrested in 95, he was actually indicted in 79 I believe and he was no Saleme loyalist. In fact, he was on the lam in FL under a different name. No one even knew where he was except a couple of guys and by JMs own admission, he only talked directly to "the Hill" maybe twice in 15 years.

He also says in the next chapter that Saleme Jr died from lymphoma. If he was as close to him as he states, he would know it wasn't lymphoma. Hell, I wasn't even that close to him and even I know how he really died.

Someone definitely cut the "fact check" budget on this project.
