Is there such a thing as a "former" member of the mafia? Except, of course, for dose guys 6 feet under at St Johns Cemetery in Queens or in witness protection in Albuquerque or Phoenix.
You rally need to study up on him. He has had it with that lifestyle and god bless him for it.
He did his time. 15 million in restitution and a hell of a lot of other fines.
Know what? He and another ran a scam to defraud the government of gas taxes.
