Murder Machine doesn't mention anything about him witnessing bodies being dismembered by Demeo's crew, but I saw him on a show once talking about how he went to the Gemini one time and the guys gave him "spaghetti and red sauce" to eat while they had bodies hanging upside down. He said it was some kind of test, to see if he was hardcore enough to sit there and eat as they dismembered a corpse. Gimme a fuckin break here, guy. Even just reading through the lines of Murder Machine you can see he's full of shit. Dominick runs away to California with no money, but Gaggi "makes up a lie" that Dominick actually stole a bunch of his shylock money he was supposed to collect. Really? Nino just made that up did he?

I also vaguely seem to remember some controversy over his service record. Didn't some Vietnam veterans group complain to Capeci over Montiglio's claims?

He claimed to be a Green Beret, and I guess someone (maybe Capeci) reached out to a group of former Green Berets who served in Vietnam and none of them had ever heard of him. Since he cooperated his service record is sealed and there's no way to prove or disprove his claims of serving in Special Forces, but they're a very small community and the fact that none of those SF veterans had heard of him is pretty telling.

The NY guy was a good cook and even a better bullshitter. Eventually he got the newsman and some of his friends to invest in his opening an Italian restaurant in LR. The Italian guy soon disappeared with some of these peoples life savings. After a long investigation it turns out it was Dominic Montiglio under a different name in the Witsec. The Justice Dept. wouldn't help or tell them anything about Montiglio's whereabouts.

Even if that's inflated, the central theme is suspect considering Castellano was AB since 1967 and thus his promotion wasn't a surprise to anyone.

Last year he sent Soliai a picture of his uncle's corpse which turned out to be Chuckie English of Chicago, Soliai asked what gives and got no response.

DeMeo's son wrote a book: For the Sins of My Father, which countered alot of Capeci's claims from Murder Machine. I never read it myself but could be worth checking out to see someone else's perspective.

It's a good book, there's one passage where DeMeo comes off as VERY Tony Soprano-ish with some pet frogs, lol

I remember I read somewhere that he said that the MM book left a lot of juicy stories out, I wanna know those juicy stories or info but as I watched the first 25 minutes of that video on YT with TheMobReel and he said, Carlo took me under his wing... I just told myself I’m 98% sure this guy is going to change stories around to make himself look better & hide the fact that he didn’t have the capacity to become a made guy & was only used as a loan collector, messenger by his uncle Nino.
