thread_title:  Early Life Section 

message: I deleted the following section: "Pistone claimed that he was put up for mob membership, a claim thought to be highly unlikely by most experts."... Who are these experts, where this claim has been made (citation) and who had more intimate knowledge about mafia codes in general and about Pistone's mission than himself?! 81.96.125.240 22:49, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

message: The Movie "Donnie Brasco"  came out in 1997.   Correct me if Im wrong, but various mobsters testified against Bonanno Boss Joseph Massino not until close to five years after "Donnie Brasco" came out.    So who was the insider who shared with the "Donnie Braco" production crew one factual detail from the Alphonse "Sonny Red" Indelicato/Dominick Trinchera murder:  The fact that when Indelicato and Trinchera were whacked, Trinchera remained standing and charged towards the shooters.    This was portrayed in the movie.   And allegedly this was part of the testimony, when Massino was fingered in court as arranging for the hit against Indelicato and Trinchera, as well as the third guy who was whacked with them.    Although the movie omits the fact that the shooters were a crew that was brought in from Montreal.   And the movie shows the shooting taking place in the basement of one of the guy's homes, however the actual shooting was in the basement of a mob social club.   The movie twists the truth, and falsely leads you to believe that the hit was entirely the work of Sonny Black.  206.192.35.125 (talk) 14:39, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

message: "Pistone was a pioneer for deep long-term undercover work. J. Edgar Hoover originally did not want FBI agents to work undercover because it could be a dirty job and might end up tainting the agents, but Pistone's work helped convince the FBI that using undercover agents instead of just using informants was a crucial tool in law enforcement.[4]"
Makes no sense as his death predates the Donnie Brasco case  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.144.148.225 (talk) 23:50, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

message: Joseph D. Pistone claims to have worked as an FBI agent for 27 years. This claim is frequently repeated by online sources as well. Also often-repeated are the claims that he joined the FBI in 1969 and retired in 1986. If you Google "Joseph Pistone retired", "Joseph Pistone joined (FBI)", and "Joseph Pistone 27 years", you'll quickly find articles regurgitating the same.
The problem is that these numbers add up to 17 years, as opposed to 27. I did a search on "Joseph Pistone joined 1959" (also 1958 and 1960), but couldn't find anything. So what's the story here? Jay D'Easy (talk) 20:36, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
