Gallo isn't all about pimping himself on eBay for an exhorbitant sum. His friend Mickey Rourke revealed that Gallo helped him through a rough patch by giving him 100k in a paper bag for a brief appearance in Buffalo 66:
Down-on-his-luck ANGEL HEART star Rourke was offered $100,000 for four hours work in Gallo's offbeat BUFFALO 66 movie at a time when he was struggling to make ends meet.Rourke recalls, "I was flat broke because nobody would hire me. Vinnie called me up and said, 'Hey, I got this thing but you gotta learn it.'
"Then he said, 'Are you having trouble with the government?' I told him, 'Yeah, I owe them a lot of money.' He said, 'What if I give you $100,000 in a paper bag...?'
"When my scene was over, Vinnie gave me a paper bag full of money and I got on a plane the same afternoon."
Where does someone get $100,000 in a paper bag? Obviously Gallo was keen to get rid of it quickly.
