EPILOGUE

As of this writing, Tommy Pitera is being held at Allenwood Federal Penitentiary in Pennsylvania. He is a voracious reader with very eclectic taste. He particularly likes books of epic proportions involving war and famous battles, martial arts, and killing. All those in his family come to visit him; he receives mail and books from friends and family.

Today, Jim Hunt is working as the Assistant Special Agent in Charge at the DEA’s New York office on Tenth Avenue. He’s as physically fit as ever. When possible, when he can get away from the busy office, he heads down to Florida, where he enjoys playing golf.

Today, Frank Gangi is still in the Witness Protection Program. He is miserable. His family has completely disowned him. He still has a drinking problem and smokes two packs of cigarettes a day. When, years after it happened, he talks about Phyllis Burdi, he still cries. He is a man without a country, without a home, regretful.

Tommy Geisel retired from the DEA and is CEO of SunBanc Corp. He very much enjoyed his career and equally enjoys his current work and the colorful bounty that life has afforded him.

Bruce Travers has undergone fourteen operations to restore his face. Today, for the most part, he looks fine. He still works for the DEA and is presently the head of their office in the United Kingdom. He is happily married and has three children.

After he quit the U.S. Justice Department, David Shapiro was immediately hired by Boies, Schiller & Flexner law firm in San Francisco—one of the best law firms in the country. (Attorney David Boies would argue on behalf of Al Gore to continue the presidential vote in Florida in the 2000 election.)

After the Pitera trial, Judy Haimowitz also entered the Witness Protection Program and disappeared.

Joe Dish also disappeared into the Witness Protection Program.
