I love ya, Afs. You know that. But class acts?

There were plenty of outright pigs in those East Harlem crews. Being a millionaire with a button (and sometimes even a capo), and having class are two entirely different things.

Galante came out of that neighborhood, made it all the way to Bonanno boss, and the man was a fucking animal. Trigger Mike KILLED HIS WIFE because she ACCIDENTALLY overheard him talking business. Fish Cafaro was a rat. Fat Tony's brother would put one finger over his nostril and blow his nose in the fucking street. Right in front of the Palma Boys.

I could go on. A lot. But I don't want to mention anyone who's still alive. But suffice it to say, most of them made money. But they didn't all have class.
