It wasn't John Gotti. It wasn't my profile guys. It was the RICO law. But, you know, it required me doing eight years in prison.

No, exactly, Dan. I right away said this was so sloppy. First of all, the last thing you want to do is hang around the scene. Be around there before, obviously not after. But, I mean, the guy was in Starbucks. He was buying things. I guess he doesn't realize, you know, in today's day and age, you got cameras everywhere. You got people looking at you.

Oh, absolutely, Danny. Remember, you're in a subway. You're stuck. You're in a box. You know, if somebody's going wild there, what are you going to do to get away with it?

And all he did was try to restrain him. You know, unfortunately, the result was we know what it was. But, you know, I think the toxology report showed that he had drugs in his system.
