Cooley says he did that so that people didn't think he flipped just because he was deeply in debt to the mob bookies.

Of course, people say that anyway.

Its unfortunate how little we know about any of the Chicago guys, current and in the past. With the exception of Accardo, Giancana, Spilotro, and Calabrese Sr. I guess. Would love to know more about the life of guys like Aiuppa, Solano, and LaPietra.

Nonos...always found that clip of DiFronzo leaving the federal building in the 80s interesting. Had that gangster swagger back then.
