Synergy is the interaction of multiple elements in a system to produce an effect different from or greater than the sum of their individual effects.Kuklinsk was no longer on the street earning money for the only family he ever belong to -his biological family. Phil Carlo was dying and wanted to out with a book similar to "Murder Machine" Kuklinski lied about 50 percent of his exploits and Carlo wrote them down like they were truth because he wanted them to be the truth. Was Kuklinsk dangerous? He was a ruthless cold blooded killer. A man not to be crossed. Did he have connections to the Gambino family that he brags about? No,never, other than buying a gun from the Gemini Lounge, he was a free lancer and a "Bottom Feeder" he worked alone and would never be trusted with the exploits that Carlo puts in his book. Killing bosses? a half Irish/Polish hood-never.
