CHICAGO (WLS) -- Upper-crust Chicago mobster Mike Sarno is just a sliver of the "made man" he once was, according to what a federal judge in Chicago was told on Wednesday.
Apparent illness has Sarno slimmed down to "under 200 pounds" according to his attorney, after tipping the scale at 350 or more according to estimates over the mob's more gluttonous years.
These days Sarno hardly lives up to his nickname "the Large Guy" and certainly doesn't fit the mob moniker he began with as a budding gangster: "Fat Boy."
Also, the career hoodlum is promising to eschew an Outfit life he enjoyed for decades if he is let out of prison early on "compassionate release," his attorney pledged during a court hearing.
