fat tony comes from trigger mike coppolas crew who is a interesting charcter. seems like fat tony took over around 1962. thats when he took over the harlem numbers racket probaly the richest in the world. there was no state lottery yet so he was the only game in town. wonder why trigger mike was broken down from capo he wasnt that old. said he lived out his years in boston. was it exile or did he just have family there.
Do you think the reports of his number operation generating $50 million a year? Of course we most likely will never know for sure.
