Just got the book, not overtly impressed by it. Way too many little stories & name throwing. However only quarter way through so hopefully things pick up
Anyway, read the part where Little Al is in for his first stretch & he recognises Amuso from a heist they done together few yrs back. Says nobody knew Vic at the time & he was being housed on the 5th floor along with the Mexicans & blacks "u can tell he was having a tough time, so next day I call him over and introduced him to all the italian guys".
It's feasible. Vic's a little guy himself, and if he was still unknown at the time it could be true. You walk into prison, you blow out a sigh of relief when you see the first person you know. Believe that.
