I came across his book and of course remember him from the Godfather as his role as Carlo was a major one.
When you listen to his interviews of who he knows, his life story and what he has been through, you will not believe what this guy has seen and done. He is the MOST intriguing human being I have ever heard.
-He claims he KNOWS the mob killed Kennedy and how Marilyn Monroe was killed.
-He's killed at least 2 people he talks about and several other he won't
-He remembers such great details from as long as 60-70 years ago.
Louis Eppolito, NYPD detective, got hired as an extra on Goodfellas. Gave advice to the actors on how gangsters behaved. Turned out he was doing hits for the Gambinos at the same time.
