Tommy Bilotti’s sister taught my kids at Our Lady Star of the Sea way back when. Castellano’s house on Todt Hill was a “fixer” for Sector Charlie in the 122 pct. prior to his dinner at Sparks. I know it all very, very well.
Sicilians are a lot different than the American born mobsters.
They have risen through the ranks of all 5 families very quickly and are much more vicious than American born.
Especially when today’s Italian American mobsters grew up in million dollar houses.
Doing time is not appealing AT ALL.
The neighborhood my father grew up in, in the 20s, going to prison was for some a step up.
A good friend of mine was one of Jr’s lawyers in his fourth mistrial.
He said the government has ENDLESS money to throw at a case.
4 mistrials is amazing.
