Anyone realize the movie/ book this based on a complete liar
Richard Kuklinski is the biggest liar in recent history looking for fame by confessing to a ton of murders he didn't commit. (Actually, the only other contender for Kuklinski's hall-of-fame fibbing who probably comes close to snatching Kuklinski's title of America's Top Liar was Henry Lee Lucas, who falsely confessed to nearly 200 murders back in the early 1980s.)
Sure, Kuklinski was a killer, and he probably killed about ten people -- six of which were confirmed and a couple he was convicted of. But to actually write that Kuklinski killed hundreds of people, including the high-profile murders of Jimmy Hoffa, Carmine Galante, and Paul Castellano/Thomas Bilotti, among others, is ridiculous.
Everybody involved in the Hoffa murder has long been identified, it's just there was never any evidence to prosecute and now most of them are dead.
Everybody who was involved in the Galante murder has been identified -- again, most of the suspects are dead. In fact, one man was convicted of being one of the three shooters in that murder -- his name was Anthony "Bruno" Indelicato, and he served nearly fifteen years in prison for it, was paroled around the year 2000, and is now back in jail on murder conspiracy charges.
Everybody involved in the murders of Castellano/Bilotti have also been identified.
In none of these murders was Kuklinski ever mentioned as being involved or even a suspect despite a slew of informers identifying all those involved and tireless investigative efforts of members of law enforcement who worked long and hard trying to solve those cases.
Richard Kuklinki was a liar, and Philip Carlo should write for Disney because he writes fairy tales. He knew Kuklinski was lying and still wrote this garbage-filled book. If he ever gets another book published, it will be a real shame -- because it will mean that any half-brained crackpot can get a book published, and that's just sad and somewhat insulting to REAL non-fiction authors who vigoriously research and fact-check the people and events they write about to come up with the most accurate account as humanly possible.
