Well ask this guy, Sammy the Bull Gravano, John Gotti's underboss and muscle man during their New York Mafia Gambino heydays, if you can find him in between jail stints for dealing the drug Ecstasy and the witness protection programs he's been in and out of all his later life since burying the now deceased Teflon Don John Gotti and others as a turncoat witness.
Something this NBA ref is gonna have to get used to as some of his closest friends allude to and are urging according to the article today in the New York Post Click here to read the full story in the New York Post.

That old turncoat Henry Hill's plan of action, that infamous one time mobster, (although not made mafia man), who is the well known subject in the 1990 hit movie Goodfella's, one of my favorites.
And what occurred here at his home over the weekend is the first brick of that wall of defense, I'll betcha anything...lol
