TOM'S TESTIMONY 1996 THROUGH 2000 THAT WE ARE AWARE
OF
"From two nightclubs, I eventually went to four and to six
restaurants. By the time I was thirty years old, I was involved in the
longshoremen business, the trucking business, the warehouse business. Every
fruit and vegetable, every piece of meat, every fish that came into the ports
and the different places in New York City, I was getting a kickback from. I was
now making hundreds of thousands of dollars, not just hundreds any more, but
hundreds of thousands of dollars. I was growing."
"I was making millions, and I was worried about forty or fifty
thousand dollars."
"And I could go down there myself, oversee all these restaurants and
expedite everything. And I said, "I'll do better than send somebody down,
I'll come down myself. And as far as paying me, don't worry about it. We'll just
increase my percentage a little more." By now, I had more percentage in his
business than he had. Went down there.[atlanta] And the first
thing I asked him, "What is the most exclusive area to live? Where are the
more expensive houses?" He told me. I went and got a house there.So, I had
this expensive house in an expensive neighborhood. I was already driving a
Mercedes. I already had the Rolex. Always walking around with suits. So, the
people in the neighborhood thought I was just another yuppie that moved in."
"[I] Went home. Went to sleep. Woke up Saturday morning. When I got
up Saturday morning, I just slid to the edge of the bed. I just started looking
at the house that I had. Everything inside the house was custom made. The house
itself was custom. All the furniture, my jewelry. I had custom touches to the
car. Pride began to swell up inside me. I looked at all that I had, and I
started remembering how little my father had. And I thought to myself, "My
father had two and sometimes three jobs and had nothing. I don't have any job
and look at all that I have." And I just looked over everything and I said,
"I done this all by myself. Nobody's ever helped me."
"I was thirty-nine years old, making millions and millions of dollars
a year."

Witness links Coppola to death plots involving remote-control bombs
Around the same time the murder conspiracy against Forgione was being
planned, Biscuiti testified, Coppola and Papanier had
had a falling- out that climaxed when Papanier "backhanded"
Coppola during a meeting in a Jilly's restaurant in Atlanta. Coppola decided
to take Papanier off the Jilly's payroll and stop paying rent on his
Dunwoody home...
so, what happened to the millions? we mean, he stated he owned his home, yet
was broke when they threw him out? and, if he were a "made" wiseguy,
like he states today, HOW could they throw him out?
just keep paying Tom.. you deserve his representation!
