This is just another Son of Sankoh letter, in the tradition of Son of Savimbi, Son of Abacha, and Son of Kabila, but it tickled our collective funny bone. Lads often claim to have been ripped off (usually by the semi-mythical "Patrice Miller"). This Lad claims to have been robbed by MR. BRUNO the ITALIAN MAN. It really makes one wonder who's zooming who, because Bruno Tataglia was a character in The Godfather, a rival of the Corleones and a pimp. More originality points for not using the word "modality".
