    Just like alcohol during prohibition days, gambling, weed and high interest loans were crimes, until the government found a way to make money off it, then suddenly it's all good. How many people went to prison for gambling, loansharking, bootlegging & selling or using marijuana over the years, and now it's all legal.

    Johnny Irish Matera was a Colombo made guy and Jimmy Napoli was a Genovese capo

      Right. Matera came up around Sonny Franzese and was in his crew for a long time. Always at Franzese's side. Jimmy Nap was a Genovese and was said at one time to have the biggest book in the US. Neither one of them were ever Gambinos as far as I know. Matera was killed by the Colombos in Florida in 1981 and Napoli died a Genovese.

    Don’t watch other guys shows. You may start unconsciously imitating them and unwittingly end up sounding like them. Your show is unique and your stories are far and away the best and most original. Stay yourself and don’t worry about those other guys. They don’t compare to what you are doing. You are the best in this genre!

    Tony, Johnny Irish Matera was my dad's cousin. Gradma Materas sister Angie had johnny out of wedlock. I met him only once when I was 14 at our house in Hackensack NJ. He wore an olive green suit and sunglasses. He got his name from the green suits he wore. Family lore says he led FBI unknowingly to a meeting where Carmine Persico was. That was the reason he disappeared as his bodyguard Billy had taken him somewhere one last time. My paternal grandfather associated with these mob guys as they ran the ILGWU and grandpa a union delegate had a garment factory.
