Chris was not involved in rackets or murders but he was involved in the everyday stuff that goes along with it. He was doing this long before Jr. started in the life.

As far as Chris hating his father (far far from true)

As far as Chris denouncing and cutting his father off (not true) Chris knew he could never get into the business he wanted to with that name !!! (That's it !!!)

He was learning the business from a associate of his fathers and Phil became close with that associate .

To this day when Chris gets out and has a couple he gets loud and starts to bring up the old days and he does this in front of his new friends and he does not hold back.

So much of what you hear is just talk .... Chris loved his father but "he"was exactly like him so they banged heads constantly .

That's all !!!
