Disagree. At least as far as Vena is concerned. I don't think the guy has been convicted of that many crimes or done much time...he is shrewd. I believe he beat a few serious wraps which is why the feds have such a hard on for the guy.

It looks like they have been feeding SB info left and right, trying to scare the guy or stir up some chatter. Probably have bugs on his and some associates phone lines as well as La Scarola and the boys are trying to stir up some chatter because they dont have shit on him.

He probably kept a low level guy like Hollingshead at arms length and Panozzo dealt with him. Why else has he not been arrested when Hollingshead has been spilling the beans?
