Fiato also claims that in the early 1980s he knocked around Vito Spillone, a Chicago Outfit made man who was an L.A. area shark and bookie. This is clearly a lie because Chicago never would have tolerated this in the early 1980s. Fiato also claims to have met with Anthony Spilotro a number of times to discuss business. This is also clearly a lie as Spilotro would likely have met with comparable individuals to his rank from the L.A. Family.
