Question
Hi Tony
I've met a guy online who claims to have been part of the Memphis Mafia. Here is what he wrote....


"Michael_Andolini says:

lol..ur rite my friend..im surprised leilani didnt tell u i worked with Big E , as we use 2 call him...i worked with him from 1969 - all the way to the end in 1977...i was what u may call..part of the memphis mafia..."

I've been an Elvis fan since I was 6 years old, I'm now 41, and I've never heard of Michael Andolini...can you please tell me if he is telling the truth?

I have already asked this question to Cory but I'd like your opinion as well if possible please.

Thank you very much

Answer
Judy,

I think I'll have to go along with Patrick here.  I have never EVER heard of a Michael Andolini being a part of the "Memphis Mafia" - and I'm sure the other guys in the group would also back up that claim.  Ask Leilani to ask Michael to provide solid proof.  If he can't provide the proof then he's bullshitting everyone.

At least, that's my take also on the situation.

Take Care,
Tony
