I didn't realize, hey, I'm going to go to jail for all these years and my family's going to be destroyed.

I didn't think that way.

Again, I had an idealistic view of the life.

Even seeing what my father went through, I kind of pushed that out and said, well, that's not going to happen to me.

Or if it does happen to me, I'll deal with it.

I was always the type of guy that figured, hey, I can figure everything out and I'll deal with it and somehow I'll make it work.

Um, you know, so I had that kind of an attitude, but yes, it very, very rough on the families, no doubt.

No, that was, oh gosh, that was way, way, way later on.

I had, that was your last.

Yeah, that was, that was way late.

I was in 84.

I mean, my first brush with the law was with the Italian American, Italian American civil rights league.

When we were picketing, um,

I got in an altercation with a cop and I hit him and they beat me up and it was a mess.

But I was like 20 years old when that happened.

And then I had a bullseye on my back immediately because of my dad.

I was arrested 18 times.

I had seven indictments altogether.

I had two federal racketeering cases, one state racketeering.

RICO indictment.
