My god this article sucks.
[edit] Dates
So fix it instead of complaining about it. Angrymansr 17:39, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
This article contains a lot of irrelevant material about Ruggiero's kids - tried to make it flow a little better. Rogermx 16:38, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Dates and bad information
I have changed the dates that were wrong (or at least the ones I knew better about), the fact the Lefty NEVER broke Omerta, and a few other little discrepancies in this article.
To anyone that is interested in Lefty Ruggiero, you should definitely read Donnie Brasco by Joseph D. Pistone. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Djmizzac (talk • contribs) 02:40, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Movies are not acceptable references in a Wiki article
Removed the following sentences: "It is stated by his character in the film Donnie Brasco, that when Joseph Pistone first met Ruggerio he had served thirty years in La Cosa Nostra, which means that he had most likely been a member of the Bonnano crime family, one of the Five Families of New York City, since 1946."
"In the Donnie Brasco film his character claims that he has murdered twenty-six people from 1946 to 1975, when he first met Joseph D. Pistone when working as a contract killer. These murders were all sanctioned from the Bonanno crime family and therefore Benjamin received no form of payment after performing these murders."
