He bought a house in Massapequa. Nice home, but NOT a mansion. Whats a house?? Most people buy a house. With all do respect, I suggest that Demeo wasn't making BIG, BIG money then. The international car theft ring etc., came later.

By comparison Brocchini had a home (a palace) up in Harrison, NY that in 1975 was valued at $250,000. (like $3,000,000 in todays money). THATS big money. And Brocchini had more than that. A lot more.

Not that its a pissin contest, but I'm just trying to show you the way the landscape layed between them.
