Conrad Black talks about life behind bars in a piece by Bryan Burrough for the upcoming October issue of Vanity Fair, and the former media mogul convicted on fraud charges claims he "quickly developed alliances with the Mafia people":
He recalls the welcome he received from a senior member of the Genovese crime family: "No one will bother you here. If you catch a cold, we will find out who you got it from. You know, we have much in common .… We are industrialists."
And after providing Sir Conrad Black with protection maybe the mobster one day will call in the favor.
Among those serving time at the low security Coleman Federal Correction Complex in central Florida where Black was incarcerated is reputed ex-acting Genovese boss Daniel "the Lion" Leo although there's nothing to indicate this is to whom the fraudster was referring.
