Summary

On Episode 142, Raymond "Long John" Martorano was a HUGE earner and made man in the Philadelphia Crime Family. He ruled the roost in Philly as the meth king. He went all the way back to Angelo Bruno, and then Nicky Scarfo monopolizing the meth business. In the end, he went away to prison and got out and faced the new face of the mob in the worst way.
