Who was the guy who made up a story about being Joe Masseria's grandson? I think he became some sort of evangelical Christian and had this backstory of being an ex NY gangster who found God.
He was featured on a tv show, I vaguely remember seeing it on youtube.
Are you talking about Tom Papania? Here is Papania on the 700 club...
