Informant Danny Kane in Montreal told his handlers that he was told by Norman Robitaille (high ranking Hells Angel of the Nomads chapter) that "Vito (Rizzuto) is a nice guy and it isn't a pretense". I always loved that line lol.

Re: wiseguys that are actually nice guys
There was some guy from Philadelphia, forget who, who said what he misses most about the mob is that everyone was nice. They had to be because of a protocol, made guys respecting each other, etc. He says most people in society are rude as hell and he has to interact and mingle with them now, and he's not used to it.
Glick told author Nicholas Pileggi that he expected to meet a banker-type individual, but instead, he found Alvin Baron to be a gruff, tough-talking cigar-chomping Teamster who greeted him with, “What the fuck do you want?”

Depends on the guy. Majority are generally nice guys. Some are snakes that I avoid

Louie Ha Ha is supposedly a relatively nice guy. Well, except for the time he pumped several bullets into Caesar Bonventre. But we all have our bad days.
All roads lead to New York.

Re: wiseguys that are actually nice guys
I met Joe Todaro Jr. in Buffalo at his pizzeria. He is as nice as it gets and everything he says is funny. Great guy, at least for someone at the top of a criminal conspiracy that uses murder as an enforcement tool.
EYYYY ALL YOU CHOOCHES OUT THERE IT'S THE KID
Re: wiseguys that are actually nice guys
Agree. Met him once while at the Win, Place and Show socializing with a few guys. Could have blown me off but conversed with me as anyone would.FriendofHenry wrote: ↑Sun Jan 02, 2022 8:04 am I knew a few wiseguys and without exception, Jo Jo Pecora really was a nice guy.

By nature most wiseguys are two faced. They wear the nice face mostly but you don’t want to see that other side.

Joe really was a man of the people. He was originally John's pick as his successor until Joe's time in Lexington. Jo Jo was much like John, a good guy.craigs48 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 02, 2022 7:30 pmAgree.

No man, for any considerable period, can wear one face to himself and another to the multitude, without finally getting bewildered as to which may be the true.johnny_scootch wrote: ↑Mon Jan 03, 2022 4:22 am By nature most wiseguys are two faced.
