Seems.the gang was shaking down a restaurant up in the Bronx, and the stubborn owner wouldn't play ball with the bad guys from Brooklyn..".Crazy Joey" had the Greek get a dozen hamsters and dye them all black so they looked like rats.. Gallo sent three gang members into the joint during the dinner hour and turned the so-called rats loose in the place. Women screamed, and jumped up on the tables , waiters dropped their trays, others chocked on their food, the place was a mad house. .The next day the hump paid Joey to get rid of his rat problem.. .. When the Greek left to take a leak , Fratianno said to Fiato, " anyone who hires this fuck'en bum for a bodyguard , 'is committing suicide."..
