flipmo is right he is no longer in witness protection, but i think that was due to him selling drugs and doing some more time behind bars.
a price on his head?:laugh: he doesnt hide, he owns his own restaurant and like you said does talk shows. all the other guys who were part of the goodfellas are dead now. any of the people that did have beef with him back in the day are most likely dead also or just dont care anymore.
Plus, if he stayed quiet, he could be hit and no one would notice or care. But by putting himself in the public eye, it offers a certain level of security in that, any would be killer knows that people will ask questions if he was to be killed, and fingers would point back at his old associates.
