Lino & Coppa are still alive today. Ask them.

Does anyone know what Coppa was facing? I did a quick search. It said Coppa turned informer in 2002, sentenced to 7 years for fraud... and despite that he was indicted AGAIN for extortion.

If Coppa pleaded guility, maybe given 20-year sentence, he would probably be out in 2012 (10 years) or 2017 (15 years) .. he would not only be alive today but the Bonanno family would still be intact.

I was thinking about Massino the other day. It's all about what you're willing to sacrifice. The death penalty execution is relatively painless via lethal injection. We are all going to die and go through some sort of pain. This is another example of Americans getting too comfortable. Honour, loyalty etc really means nothing when you're living the good life and literally getting away with dozens of murders for 40 years. Massino thought he was untouchable and he turned fake because he was too comfortable and enjoyed it.
