Just when you thought only retarded movies like Smokin’ Aces could come up with implausible plot lines involving a criminal who takes extreme measures to remove his fingerprints to avoid getting ID’d by authorities comes the true story of convicted cocaine seller William Wallace Keegan.
Sure, he didn’t chew his off fingertips like Pasquale Acosta, but he did try and have them “altered” according to the DEA:
During the trial, the evidence showed that Keegan had all 10 fingers surgically altered in the 1990′s to obliterate his fingerprints above the first joint. A Drug Enforcement Administration forensic fingerprint analyst was able to match the lower joint fingerprints from the arrest under the name of Richard King in January 2008 with a 1977 arrest, confirming his identity as William Wallace Keegan.
He was busted in 2008 during a sting operation in Long Island and was sentenced to five concurrent life sentences bringing his 30-year career to quite the anticlimactic end.
I'am the real Pasquale Acosta. I used to be a welders helper at PG&E hence the Black plague from working on gas pipe. I also happen to be from Monterey Bay just like the Director of the CIA. Don Paquale is a opera, and Paschal Mystery is deep seated tradition as a Roman Catholic. The Italians in Las Vegas gave me the nickname in 2005, I didn't find out about it until I was in Iraq. I rep everything Italian even though my last name is Spanish.
Also the crap about his finger tips being messed up are from soaking my hands in soapy water for a really long time. The knife thing that pops out of his wrist is a stinger pen gun and being a merc is not glamorous. Go to school, Actuary's get paid a grip, UNLV is one of the best business schools in the world and by all means do the right thing! Nestor was a soldier, I was a soldier so if you want to be like Pasquale be a soldier get a BA in whatever and submit your appilication to thye various federal agencies, CIA, DEA, FBI, US Marshalls, Secret Service and then try to get into Special Operations after about 5 to 10 years. You can make a killing…
