In the movie Good Fellas. Henry Hill said about the Judge at their trial, "He gave us 10 years each like he was handing out candy."
He also said when on the inside the ran the joint. LOL
That sounds a little like my ex partner who had some dealings with these guys who had connections with The Outfit in Chicago.
They ripped him off. But he knew the old car they stored the dope in. He burned it. He figured he got at least three keys.
I told that story on the Chicago Outfit Facebook page. One of those guys said the top guys had nothing to do with dope.
I said, "I know that. But these guys were lower on the Totem pole. I guess they figured since they had connections they could do what they wanted to make money." ;)
