Was born Riccobono but changed his name to Roberts at some point. Do you guys believe the stuff he claims about being a Gambino soldier in the 70's? I'm about a quarter of the way through his book "American Desperado" where he is talking about his days in NY in the 70's. His stories are so over the top I'm beginning to wonder. His father and uncle were supposedly heavyweights in the Gambino family but Jon was just a low-level soldier. And as a soldier he talks about running all these clubs in NY, muscling a young John Gotti out of businesses, banging former Bond girls in restaurant bathrooms, and that's just a few of his claims. It makes for an entertaining read, but I'm skeptical of how accurate it is.
