During the interview, Patriarca blames the media. He claims that “John Stroymeyer (Phonetic), a reporter for the Providence newspaper, had printed numerous articles concerning him and his release from prison in 1938. In this regard, he (Patriarca) said that he has been built up to be a “phantom” and a “powerful man.”
