"Movie extortionist"? No wonder he got whacked.
The extortion thing was an old beef. He was clipped at the behest of Sam Giancana as part of a more general power struggle in Chi-town.
That upholstery is ruined!
This what we can look forward to if the RIAA gets any worse.
swac, you are right. Cherry Nose should have sprung for the leather or, better yet, the vinyl. That stuff will never come out of the fabric.
