He's not a wiseguy in the literal sense. His father is a made guy in the DeCalvacante's, supposedly. And his anecdotes about the Gallos are more or less true. You just don't get the full story from the typical sources because all they like to talk about is how crazy Joey was. He's right in that Larry Gallo was the brains behind the operation and for some time, they were considered a family within a family. And when they started to rebel against Profaci, they were sort of looked at as a Sixth Family. He's also right in the sense that, many mob guys who went on to be some real hitters, got their start in the Gallo crew, ie. Bobby Borriello, Tony Shots, and so on and so on. Frankie DiMatteo himself was just a young guy coming up around other young guys on President Street, he knew the stories and probably did some knockaround shit of his own, but he wasn't a wiseguy by any means, more like a civilian.
