    Just saw an interview with his youngest daughter on Soft White Underbelly. The schizophrenic was a masterful act, whenever he felt that the FBI got too close to him he got himself comitted for 3 weeks into the psychatric hospital. so he worked on his being "not fit for trial".

      Well what exactly is a bad guy? I think way too many people try and take their opinion of something and try to change societies morals based on that opinion. I mean let's say a guy takes a bat and smashes another guy in his head 5 times in a row. You label him a bad guy. Well what if the guys was a serial rapist and killer who kept getting away with it. Let's say you kill me. You're a bad guy right? Well what if we had agreed beforehand to duel to the death? Truthfully I think the only way that one can clearly label something or someone as bad is if they or it is doing harm to something that is pure and innocent.

      It’s true, he did reveal both duplicity and fraud within the Psych-Industry. It was his favorite pastime and his crusade helped him fill the endless hours of incarceration. He was involved in many lawsuits which sought monetary compensation for the duplicity and he decided that he would prosecute the fraud criminally and he managed to send much of the fraud behind bars so that he could murder that too. I am pointing to the area below my lower lip was one bad dude!

      It's hard to fool a psychologist, in a therapy session, when it comes to specific mental illness disorders, but even a therapy session done in conjunction with a CT or MRI scan can't conclusively determine that a traumatic brain injury (TBI) hasn't been sustained, and a TBI could potentially cause a wide spectrum of unusual types of behavior. If it could be shown that he engaged in activity that would have put him at risk for suffering a TBI, such as a career in boxing, I believe it would be very difficult to conclusively determine whether it was an act or not.

    The logic of the NY mafia leaders still committing crime right in front of everyone, if any, even in front of their investigators, would be based on library like support of published real found knowledge of mafia findings of their activities and planning. Something that got Hoover to leadership, knowing more about a situation then is needed to convict, through having a opinion that is presentable for others to look at!
    Its like the real Godfather story that became a movie after to book's factual outlook was published based on NY Police records, not forgetting the mention of everyone in crime in NY was also considered a Godfather to their private neighborhood, quickly allowing for this real Godfather of concern naturally to having confusing promoting doubles, without having the need to build any (alibi - a Cicero, Illinois bar name in Al's old bar scene area, after the Cicero Police started Police strikes in 1977). But watch out this importance, he was said to employee from his home 1000 body guards called soldiers, where he assigns favors during important parties and the biggest one (body guard) hiding out in a skyscraper discouraging interference from the public by toss a baby into the basement furnace, according to the real story, or as the Washington DC concern of the mafia public innocents (Charm (book or TV show reference) witch grammar like talk reference) description made available of known mafias being caught with publicity, is they in formal wear would kill babies. So as popular as a Godfather is in terminology, something completely reserved for the Catholic Church's stay honest promotion practice, why could the side stories the real NY Police records not be considered needing be real for them to follow up on as further leads to finding this right person or at least not to consider it real based on community talk?
    So the point is, this Godfather according to the book built on real Police records a bit at a time from years of collected activities when Al Capone was competing for his neighbor's wealth too, and the Godfather was know to intercept any of the Chicago based mafia hitmen sent to fight him as blackhanders right at the airport entry level into town, to also from Depression Era have predicted he would someday be having Presidents under his control, not just Senators or such.
    So the point of confusion would be the following comment:
    So how would this happen. To help, this FBI Video has the mafia boss getting his mafia members public contract job, to help them be seen as honest working people of the community. Then before a election happens, these would be the people that sign the runner's campaigning list for a Office endorsement that would need the person gaining the specific amount of endorsements by the community to allow this runner to run for the Office. So is this a local problem, or is it reaching out of NY State, which to be inviting the FBI to look into the needed insight to help for the Government keeping everyone, hopefully the bullies too, at lest long enough to stay honest till judged by God! (I mean if everyone's getting along, then the secrets are not crimes, just a privacy concern!) [Hope this helps!] {Remember Crime Stoppers efforts is publicity too, but offer rewards I think at times!}

    My grandfather worked for the Chicago press and became the head of a country club where my grandmother befriended Lauretta Geigerman, Frank Castello's wife. That was the 1950s. Members in my family never forgave grandma for her association. Funny how crime seduces people into the life. Those family members joined the party as my father relied on fixers knowing lawyers specializing in tune ups and incompetence claims. Changing medical history with invented claims is routine (reminding me of flat earthers). Gigante was held in esteem by inlaws in the family, revealing a divide. White Anglo Saxon Protestants made up my father's family with his John Bircher loyalties, inlaw rivalry (who are Catholic) and grew out of Cicero knew Paul Marcinkus and always gave the Odd Father a nod. As a observer the betrayal, delusion and competitions over power is toxic and far removed from normacy - its a full time situational disorder saturated in dysfunction. I never "got it" being square. I figure conversations Gigante had with himself were his way of playing feds but also something else like an actor always practicing a script that sustained his power within the psych scheme with a Gestalt therapy technique.
