THE BLACK HAND FORUM

Isn't Herbie Sperling the one who supervised the hit in prison on Vincent Papa, one of the organizers of the French Connection?

The Hawk was right about Brnes and Sperling - read the first couple of paragraphs:

I believe Leroy Nicky Barnes was incacerated near him in Marion. When Barnes decided to cooperate with the US Attorney's Office - one of the first people he set up was Sperling.

Thanks[/quote]He was a Campisi associate. I remember reading in "To Drop A Dime" when they arrested him, LE told him if he cooperated they would let his mother go (his mother was arrested the same day as him on drug charges I believe), Herbie told the feds "If you got a beef with her, that's her problem, don't blame me, the old lady needs to carry her own weight". LOL. That is what you call rotten to the core.......Soliai

Does anyone know anything?

Thanks
