Kind of a stupid question but is the nickname for Nicholas Milano "Nicky the whip" or " Nicky whip." You see it both ways, and doesn't anyone know where it comes from?

Isn’t that Gaspari Valenti the guy who kept getting knocked down for induction ceremony? & then flipped?

I think so, he is Asaro's cousin and testified about the Luftansa Heist recently, Asaro was acquitted on that case

Sort of a moot point with Frank Calabrese (whose son Frankie Jr also flipped on him, of course) as he was shellacked in Family Secrets and died in prison.
