Yeah that's true- it was well documented that Joe Pung hated Wayne Grande from multiple sources. Wayne Grande would play "That's what friends are for" on the jukebox basically giving him shit for the Salvy Testa hit. He would also whisper nothings into other mob guy's ears while they were all in jail during the RICO trial while looking at Joe Pung implying that he was gossiping/making fun of/talking about Joe Pung with other mobsters. Wayne seemed like a real fuck and then ended up being a rat after all that shit. Apparently though, the reason Wayne had it out for Joe Pung in the first place was because Wayne went away in like '84 or '85 for a months on a contempt of court charge for not testifying to a Grand Jury or something like that and I suppose they must have been partners in a gambling and/or Shy business as Wayne felt slighted by Joe Pung as he felt Joe Pung didn't provide enough money/support to Wayne Grande's wife and kids while he was away in jail.
