I don't think his friend slapped Mangano and lived. There is also a lot of question as to the existence of the friend he spoke of in his book.


I never said it was true. But D'Arco said it. And I don't know why he would lie about it, because it doesn't benefit him in any way to.


Either he wanted to make himself sound tough, or the authors put it in as a way to beef up the book.
