If I remember reading good fella tapes book this guy was a kid back then and was that guy shootsie's nephew. Tommy m. That guy shootsie got rail roaded He was just a bookie who was just doing what his boss stanfa told him the feds gave him like 20 yrs. And stanfa always badmouth him but the old guy never flipped and died in jail. He even wanted Merlino and stanfa to make peace. Stands got pissed cause he went to go see the genovese capo Andy in Newark without out consulting stands first.
