    He really coulda been the Boss of the Colombo Family. He had enough old school thinking within him from his father Sonny Fraseze that he woulda stayed under the radar, stay low key, but he also was an earner, he was very intelligent, and apparently, was pretty well liked. Just my two cents...

      The Shark it was in the Bamboo Lounge scene. Not the Copa. Anyway they probably meant either him or his dad. Or maybe a composite character of both. If it took place in 1973... he wouldve been 22 which is around the time he said he joined. Also the Copa closed for 3 years starting in 1973.

      Tax-bitchass biyatch what he meant by a “wet place” is that they dumped his body in a body of water. I believe Mike actually knows what happened. He was in the mob at the time and was becoming very powerful at the time of the disappearance. He’s always been quick to say if he doesn’t know something. You guys might think he’s a con artist or something, but the fact is he’s no Frank Sheeran. He’s not getting paid to talk about conspiracies. He’s getting paid to tell his life story and teach people not to go down the same path he did.

      I think the only ones involved who are alive might be one of the Andretta brothers or both of them. I'm with those who say he probably doesn't know.
