I agree with you Little_Frankie...The more I think about the more it makes sense that Paul was just an intimidating big Italian dude going around shaking down north shore dealers who couldn't do a thing about it. From the view point of these small time north shore dealers, it did seem to them that they were getting muscled by a made man. I mean the DC crew really looked the part, talked the part and acted the part... I mean Paul truly believed when Ray Jr..and some others made guys got out of the can soon, things were going to change and he would be rewarded for his loyalty to them... I dunno, weird and confusing shit....the Boston scene was all upside down in the mid 90's ... So hard to know who was made and who wasn't uncles of course you were in the know.

Thanks for the input man.
