fat tony comes from trigger mike Coppola's crew who is a interesting character. seems like fat tony took over around 1962. that's when he took over the Harlem numbers racket probably 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 wasn't 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.
