2cents if the young guys didnt want this guy faffy around he wouldnt be welcomed at there clubhouse. they just beat him up and put him on the shelf. im not aware of the guy having kids or brothers in the family so it would be simple to just shelf him. if its true he really saved joeys merlinos life in the 80tys from harry the hunchbacks goons im would bet he has a top spot or capo if he wants it. i will say that guy looks real young for a man 70tyish. he was sentenced to 45 yrs in prison in 89 and hes off parole now i wonder why gene gotti who also got like 45 yrs isnt. he also went to prison in 89
