Just finished reading "The Sinatra club" by Sal Polisi and I must say I found it pretty interesting. (The film on the other hand was utter shit)
But what about the book's credibility? That joint venture heist with representatives from all of the 5 families sounds like something out of a bad mafia novel. Other than that, many interesting stories- such as his friendship with Foxie and John Gotti. Yeah i got the same impression after reading the book... Never saw the movie... Its been a while since I read the book, but was wondering since Polisi was italian, did he mention in the book or doesn't anyone know was he close to getting straightened out?

Mikeyballs: if you go by the book I think it was fairly close but by that time he says he was discusted with what Lcn had become. Pretty ballsy the main idea with the club; to hide the big cashflow the drugs was generating from the higher echelons of the mob. They didnt call him "ubatz" for nothing. We should get him on these boards so that the question of who William bentvena (Billy batts) really was can be sorted out along with a proper photo of the guy  I think its safe to say Polisi did know him (queens)

Your idea about him spilling the beans about billy batts is a good idea thats baffled me for years as well as most on these boards... I mean the guy cant be too busy to sign on a mob fan boy site and answer a few questions right? Lol
