Not according to the book; Rosenthal had a steel barrier installed around the drivers compartment when he bought the car. Ready or as the gambler says hedged against the worst.

Somewhere, in a small house, in a dimly lite living room, an old man thought, 'Of natural causes?!' Then laughed.

How could Pileggi put it in the book or Hollywood put the real version on screen in 1995 when it wasn't known that he was an FBI informant until after he died in 2008? The book and the movie were not "fairytales".

Can anyone explain how the FBI benefitted from what LEFTY was telling them? That didn't get explained, at all, in this video.

uh, NO, he wasn't. spilotro was more dangerous than him, and the midwest bosses were more dangerous than both of them.

Frank Cullota claims this story is completely fabricated and that Rosenthal never fully got into the car and was blown from it by the bomb.

the FBI let him skim money all those years . why ? That made them accomplices, also just what info did he feed the feds of value ? they busted mob figures Lefty was taking care of in the casinos ? too much a mystery..

He was adopted into a Jewish family but his biological family was Swedish.
