Sal vitales would be good with the rite author. He must be in nad shape
From the group of the Bonanno's that flipped during 2003/2004, Frank Lino is the best one to write a book (barring Massino of course). He seemed to do it all, big stock fraud cases, murders, you name it. Wouldn't mind Frank Coppa either. He had like a 2nd degree connection to Jordan Belfort, but did he ever meet the guy?
I'd love some back story on Coppa. Seems like a combo of a thug / street guy and a white collar guy. Him and Belfort... they ever had any dealings or real connection to one another, but Coppa was involved with a ton of stock chop shops . Belfort was out on Long Island , Coppa had his hooks into a variety of different places in the city, mostly because he had his hooks into a few people who bounced between brokerages, started their own, etc. - it sounded like he was involved with a lot more than shaking down promoters and brokers for money too, he was helping pick which stocks to pump, trying to take companies public that he and his family basically controlled , etc. He seemed like a real major money maker
I was driving in Queens recently and figured out that survellience pic of Massino and Coppa where they're coming out of a building with what looks like marble on the outside... it's the City Diner in Maspeth on Grand Ave. Could only imagine the meals those two had at that place... they probably singlehandedly put the owners kids through college
