the wall financially. This
formula has worked for the over one hundred years that the crime syndicates
have operated in America. From federal judges, to shoe shine boys, the lure of
easy money has allowed the underworld to operate freely in the legitimate
world. Sam, for just a moment, reflects—this is exactly how I became involved.
He will need to find out everything there is to know about Victor before he
even attempts to contact him.
This takes Sam back to his Rolodex where a quick
call to Serge Vlassic gets you a computer search on the personal information of
anyone in America. It ain’t cheap, but the info will have details you can’t get
on Google. Things like bank and credit card balances and payment records, FICA
scores, outstanding loans, divorce decrees, convictions, you name it, if it
exists Serge will find it.

‘Firestop’
Sam has good reason to be optimistic about his
accidental contact with Victor Kozol bearing fruit. If information is power in
this modern world, then Sam is powerful indeed. He now has dossiers on: Victor;
the Kozol Funeral Home; Vic’s parents; the boro of Duryea Pennsylvania;
Pennsylvania Funeral and Cremation Law; and more. Most important in this
treasure trove is the up-to-the-minute financial position and transactions of
Victor. He knows that Vic is getting close to insolvency and that without some
outside injection of cash, Vic will be out of business very soon. The only
salvation other than Sam for Vic would be if his parents intervened and gave
him more financial aid. Sam had to act first hoping to head off that exit for
Vic.
So, Sam is ready to go to the next monthly meeting
with a formal request for firestop.
Sam is so confident that he strides into the meeting
at Rosselli’s without any of this financial and personal information on Vic. He
knew that if he got permission none of that would be relevant. He will use it to
hook Vic, but the members of the organization would only be bored by how he did
it. Sam can only but think, After this deal goes down successfully, Sam
Gianetti will be the man who beat police forensics at their own game. Firestop will go down as a turning point in the organization winning against law
enforcement. The mob would now be able to operate with impunity without fear of
the reach of the long arm of the law. Best yet, Sam will be identified forever
with this coup and be a rising star in the organization. But, like all good
things, this project will require a lot of effort. However, Sam is thinking no
pain no gain.
Gathered around the same table at Rosselli’s are the
same faces Sam has sat across from for the last three years. At the end of the
business agenda, Sam proposes that the organization authorize him to make
contact with Victor Kozol for the purpose of fronting a crematory in his small
upstate Pennsylvania funeral home. Sam recommends that Kozol Funeral Home will
be the legal entity that owns and operates the retort. Victor himself will have
to actually run the equipment and dispose of the ashes. He will be paid about
twenty five times what a regular cremation pays for his services. The entire
cost to install and set up the retort will be up to $100,000 and less if a
lease for the retort can be worked out instead of purchasing it outright.
After that at $10,000 a pop for each cremation, the
operation will be on a pay as you go system. Sam tells the group that we have
to pay that much because Victor will not be able to stay afloat with his
payments, as the entire cremation project makes no financial sense for Victor
without the extraordinary help from the organization. This will also keep
Victor from ever thinking he doesn’t need our business. Carlo the Don has one
important question, “How can we trust Kozol, an outsider? What if he says no to
your scheme and goes to the cops?”
Sam tells Carlo, “I will be responsible for Kozol,
if you greenlight the project.”
He ends his comments with “No risk no
