This infuriated Burke and Vario, but they needed DeSimone’s skills as a killer. They wanted to eliminate any participant in the robbery who could finger them to the cops or the FBI. The first to die was Parnell “Stacks” Edwards, who after the robbery was to have delivered the getaway van to be crushed at the Gotti- run salvage yard. Instead, Edwards parked the van by a fire hydrant in Canarsie, Brooklyn, where cops found it two days later.
Vario ordered De. Simone to kill Edwards. Stacks gotta go . . . He’ll give up every one of us,” Vario said.“Paulie, how can you ask me to whack Stacks?” De.
Simone pleaded. “I mean, him and me go back before I can remember. I’m the only person on earth he trusts.”Vario vowed that in return for killing Edwards, De. Simone would get his “button” — he would become a made man, an official member of the mob.“I promise you I’ll do whatever I can to make it happen,” he said. De. Simone went to Edwards’ hideout and put five bullets in his skull.“Sorry, pal. I hope it didn’t hurt.
Sooner or later, I’ll see you in heaven or hell. Wherever you’re going, I’m sure that’s where I’ll be going,” he said. The request. Tommy De. Simone. Supplied. De. Simone soon joined him.
For years, the Gambinos had simmered over De. Simone’s unsanctioned murders of two of their own mobsters, William “Billy Batts” Devino and Ronald “Foxy” Jerothe. Devino — a made man whose last name is sometimes given as Bentvena — spent several years in federal prison on drug charges.
During that time, De. Simone and Burke took over his loanshark business. They wanted to keep it, so after Devino was released, De. Simone and Burke killed him, says author Simone. In “Goodfellas,” De. Simone kills Devino over an insult about his past as a shoeshine boy. Boardwalk Empire Season 5 Subtitles.
That part of the movie was fiction, Simone says. Jerothe died because he punched De.
Simone in the face in a feud over Jerothe’s sister, whom De. Simone was dating, mob lore says. When Gotti, still seven years from becoming the “Dapper Don,” heard De. Simone was about to be “made,” he demanded a sit- down with Vario.“This f- - kin’ De.
Simone whacked two of my top earners, and I let it go for a long time,” Gotti told his fellow capo. Now he wants to be made, and I’m not gonna sit quietly.
I mean, that’s as bad as putting a cactus up my a–. Understan’ what I’m sayin’, Paulie?”“John, what do you suppose I should do?” Vario asked.“Paulie, all I want is what’s fair,” Gotti said.
I wanna whack the bastard, and I want you to give me the green light.”Vario considered how De. Simone was a constant source of agita. He also figured the feds or the cops would soon pinch De. Simone for the robbery. But there was another reason, the book reveals. When Hill was in federal prison several years before, De. Simone had tried to assault Hill’s wife, Karen.
Vario was furious about this — partly because, at the time, he and Karen were having an affair. Thus Gotti’s request to kill De. Simone “was timely and well received,” the book says. Gotti knew of Burke’s involvement in Devino’s slaying.
But Burke was an “extrordinary” earner on Vario’s crew and thus had Vario’s protection, Simone says. Vario would not let Gotti kill him. The hit.
