Anyone hazard any guesses who the "strong guy" is?


Yeah especially being a crooked cop, I'm sure he knew everyone.


Well here's our answer Jonny....article says Mandell met with the informant and was introduced by other "mobsters" at La Scarola.

Btw...bet Albie Vena is quite happy to have passed on letting Mandell flatten Stavropoulos. Its going to keep him from going to jail for the rest of his life.
