If I remember correctly the issue with Joe Pungitore is that he filed for his sentence to be overturned on the grounds that his lawyer was intimidated by the other guys—that Phil was drawing pictures of dead rats and showing them around, etc. Also that Pung's lawyer wanted to testify that Nicky Crow was a heavy drug user, but couldn't because Scarfo, et al wouldn't let him—because Crow would have said "yes, I did coke all the time with Bobby Simone."

He lost the motion but those things are made public.
