he gets a 4 just cuz he a rat

Even though you know reading Sammy's book that the guy's a madman, you can't help but side with them at least a little. One thing about Sammy - at least from Sammy's perspective - is that he didn't hurt nobody who didn't have it coming.

Another rat who ended up singing the hits in order to save his ass. Many say that Joe Valachi's testimony had a bigger impact on the Mafia as a whole because up to that time many people were denying the existence of the Mafia, namely J. Edgar Hoover. Idono, Sammy's testimony brought down an entire family and had far reaching effects outside it as well. The list of his murders is longer than his arm.

Last I heard he was a guest of the Arizona prison system for running a drug ring while under witness protection. Smooth...

He claimed to have killed 19 people, but some disputed it. Was a high ranking muscleman of the Gambino crime family and helped orchestrate the killing of then, Godfather Paul Castellano.

On a side note, it is well documented that the "Bull" was disappointed that he did not get to go to Vietnam. "Back home on the streets I could go to jail for hurting and killing guys; but in Vietnam they would have awarded me medals for doing what comes naturally to me."
