Nicky LaSorsa was a millionaire for years before he got made. He needed a button like a bald man needs a hair brush. But he wanted it desperately, and Greg and Louie helped him get it. They conveniently leave those kinds of facts out of books written by cops.

That whole thing was blown way out of proportion by the Feds and the media. Those tapes are nothing more than Greg talking just to hear himself talk. That's who he was. No one was getting killed over a fucking table at Rao's.

As far as Greg being respected before Scores, it depends on who you ask. A lot of people were afraid of him, and a lot of wiseguys hated his guts. It's like that with a lot of guys in the life.
