I doubt he was a soldier but he was on his way to being one if he stayed in NYC.

He was Gambino muscle and hoes paved their way into the NYC club business.

His uncle was about as high as you can get in CN and his father was a soldier too

He was also a conduit for when the Colombians wanted hits to be done by non columbians

So he arranged some heavy work between the gambinos and columbians in terms of using

Gambino hitters to whack someone the columbians wanted killed .

He was also a big dealer, not just arranging transportation and no doubt some of his

Customers were CN players .

It is true tho he was a dry snitch

The guy has a great story about the steelers OL over his house binging on coke

A few days before the SB lol .

He was a huge gambler so the wise guys handled that part of the biz .

I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't one of the bigger wholesalers for NY CN
