There's a guy who would be a formidable pick to run the Colombo's, if not a definite top 3 kind of guy. Only argument against is the FBI is sure to have a hot nut for him. I doubt they wanted him to ever see the streets again, and are going to try their best to send him back. He played a part in having a police officer and prosecutor killed!!
He has it coming if he decides to climb the ladder.
* William Aronwald, prosecutor and supervisor for the US Department of Justice 1971-77, he was also prosecutor for New York County District Attorney Office in late 60s, Joel arranged his murder on behalf of Carmine Persico in 1987 however his father was killed who was a judge for the Manhattan NYC parking violations bureau at the time then he ordered 4 of the hitmen involved killed, 2 of them from the Lucchese and Bonanno family
* Government said he ordered the 1987 murder of retired NYPD Carlo Antonino because Joel thought he was weak link and might cooperate
* involved in 2-shootouts with captain Greg Scarpa in early 1990s
* He possibly ordered the 1997 murder of NYPD officer Ralph C. Dols after Dols married his ex-wife, being a cop and Hispanic didn't help him
If Joel gets out next year after serving 16 years and the culmination of his history he must of had about a dozen guys killed/ordered plus he's nearly 80. He would make a good boss but 2 much heat, a good advisor is more realistic.
