Another big fiction, Oli. In "King of the Godfathers" by Anthony DiStefano (one of the very few excellent Mob bios), the story comes out that the FBI agents were spotted and menaced, but not harmed. Massino was always courteous to FBI agents. In one incident recounted by DiStefano, Massino spotted a bug they planted in his social club, took it down, and presented it to an embarrassed agent.


Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
