Crazy Eddie was not spared. Far from it. Rather, when he was in the can. One day Carmine Gribbs Tramunti cam in, e Eddie bought him loads of prison luxuries and Mr Gribbs asked what he wanted in return

Eddie mentioned there was a contract on his life and whether or not he can get a passribbs suckered him & said he can try but on one condition, he disclose all those that were involved

Eddie fell for the bait and named names. One of those was Richie who later on got whacked

Another was Chief who Eddie asked to be spared too

Later when Eddie got out he was shot in Gotti’s bar the Cozy corner several times but survived

He was there because he was friendly with a loan shark called Junior who he later on tried to kidnap and asked IF Gotti was the one who tried to kill him

In the book I recall he mentioned a few encounters he had with Gotti whereby Gotti was sitting alone outside the Cozy Corner one day

He also spoke about Vic Amuso whom he describes as a handsome guy/ think they knew each other from “inside”. And Vic gives him a grin and says I heard you been a naughty boy
