    /uj This guy has always been a loser, not only was he not involved in much but he lies about having killed people. He said something along the lines of "never ask someone who was in the mafia if they killed, thats all im gonna say and leave it at that". But if you watch any interviews with real mobsters that went into witness protection theyll just straight up tell you who they whacked, why they did it, and how they did it.
