pretending to be connected to mafia for street cred

Tony Soprano is my third cousin on my dads side.

Who's asking?! Eh?! Irregardless, I think it would be wise if you abstain from this area. Capisce?

I knew a few Italians growing up and when the Godfather came out they all acted like Don Vito was their own Godfather. The stories I would here about we're pretty laughable.

Johnny Fontane?

Scruffy has a good family friend who apparently babysat for a mafioso decades ago when she was in high school living in Chicago.

She said she didn't find out until they raided the house and she read about it in the paper.

That's the only time Scruffy ever heard anyone talk about that stuff.

I used to know some people that did this.

It didn't end well for them.

I haven't ever known anyone who pretended, but did know of someone from back home who was actually allegedly "connected." ... He was the president of one of the local banks in which he had a relative managing day-to-day operations since he & his family had relocated to another state. The story was, he & his relative had some sort of disagreement about "business issues" pertaining to said bank, & shortly thereafter, the relative/manager was found dead in said bank, with 4 gunshot wounds to the chest, & was promptly ruled a "suicide" by the authorities. Case closed.
