Depending on which day you spoke to Richard Kuklinski, he killed "more than 100" or "more than 200".

So, which was it?

Why did La Cosa Nostra associate with him? Did he work cheap?

He claimed he was one of the gunman in the Paul Castellano hit at Sparks Steak House... plus a million other hits.

Why did he bullshit so much, and how many did he really kill?

Was the NYC Mafia really interested in working with him, as he claims?

you want the truth or the real truth?

the truth is that he was a pretty bad guy who killed lots of people..maybe as many as 500 including jimmy hoffa, billy the kid and jfk.

but the real truth..he grew up in memphis and wrote Love Me Tender for Elvis

No one will ever know but this much is for sure...he was an evil person who killed st least several people. Certainly nowhere near what he claims, but enough to be in hell if such a place exists.

Your sig line, you know how Holmes lied about Harvard and all that? Similar to kuklinskis lirs about castellano etc.

Kuklinski was sentenced for only 5 murders but he was active from the 50s, he love to kill and in the 50s-60s the mobster was more trigger happy than today so yes he killed over 100 people,for sure was hired by the mob but he don't killed galante or castellano (because the two hits was a family things) maybe was paid by gravano for kill pete calabro. I read the book on kuklinski,he was an interesting man,he beat his wife but not his children and accepted to plead guilty of the 5 homicides, to don't suffer his family because of the trial and give the divorce to his wife even if she didn't want to divorce.

Google the ice man leif!!! Fantastic blog about his (fantasy) mafia connections.

Op he left out a lot of truths in his book & interview

They flew him over to take care of Gods banker Roberto Calvi

The Cali Cartel also hired him to track down Escobar, if u look at one of the pictures where the Army are posing with Escobar's slain body. U could just make out the ice man in the back decked out in camouflage gear

The word cuckold originated from him. Because he made all his victims kuks when he kuked their wives.

No one will probably ever know. I believe he killed a lot of people. Whether it was what he claims, he left people to be eaten by rats etc...I doubt it.

I think Iceman was the first mob book I read, so I enjoyed it for what it was until I found out it was fantasy.

Didn't he give Roy a handjob once, and that is why Roy kept him around the Gambino's?

No, he taught Fat Vito how to give Roy a hand job.
