Dude faced major time and never snitched or cooperated to pin anybody. You do the crime, you do the time. He understood that and that's why the family let him walk.

[@mustafahajj]

B.S. There is no walking. Per the Cosa Nostra (Oath) this man is one in million far as the mafia is concerned. Not to mention very smart. The media nor Hollywood does not give this guy the credit like they have done others particularly Giovanni Gotti which was nothing more than a savage. But those are the ones Hollywood celebrate.

Devin X he literally dropped a bomb on Al Sharpton, so I disagree 😂

[@deez9805]

mustafahajj I’m not saying anyone could walk. I’m speaking specifically to his situation. If he snitches in anybody, he’s a dead man. He’s not welcome in that life anymore, but they let him slide bc literally no one else in the life took a penalty for any of his actions. Most dudes can’t say that and that’s why they get killed.

[@deez9805]
