Romano was an associate of DiLeonardo. And his real-life demeanor is much more quiet and sly than on-camera in this documentary. In fact, I do not recall his eyes being blue the time that I encountered him. Perhaps he wears fake lenses.

See this discussion in earlier thread, where I mentioned seeing Romano, DiLeonardo, Alite at restaurant = http://www.gangsterbb.net/threads/ubbthr...3452#Post903452

I would not be surprised if Sal were still somehow involved in massive frauds with mob-backing. Look at what his brother Mario is up to =

Romano is of course a very common surname. But it is worth noting that a certain Giuseppe Romano was a central figure in some of the earliest financial crimes of the American mafia, involving the printing of counterfeit dollars

Sal Romano mentions to Trevor McDonald that his father, Dominic Romano, was a "mafia accountant." In fact, his father seems to have raised all of his children to be financial swindlers.

Sal Romano was " . . . barred from the securities industry because of a mail fraud and conspiracy conviction in 1992, in which he and other members of his family -- including his brother, Dino Romano, father, Dominic Sr. and sister, Bianca Romano -- were charged with running a loan brokerage out of Willowbrook that scammed applicants across the country out of more than $1 million"

Sal Romano is today about 49 or 50 years old. This means that in 1992 he was only 24 or 25 years old, and I would assume that he hatched the scheme at an even younger age
