Kuku steps out of a car, onto a podium, and begins to speak...

Many people have asked me what it was like when City Hall came for my father... 

In short, it was awful.  Before his infamous drive with a gun to his head, my father left this note.  I reproduce it now, as a warning to others.  Yes, he was easily the richest mobster than ever lived, with a chain of casinos, his own bank, and an interest in several cities, not to mention the backing of the most powerful crime family of that era, but what did it all mean?  His money was useless, in the end, and the weeks of luxury and power suddenly seemed very useless.  

As an historical artefact, this is a necessary addition to the wealth of materiel and debate about my father and his time at the top.

Let this be a stark lesson to all of you.

To Whom It May Concern:

First, everyone understand. I have nothing to do with Destro's murder. I loved him; always have and always will. If we had a problem, it's because I loved him so much.

Recently, we came to the understanding that for now we were not right for each other, at least for now. Despite our love, we were different and that's why we mutually agreed to go our separate ways.

It was tough splitting for a second time, but we both knew it was for the best. Inside, I had no doubt that in the future we would be close friends or more. Unlike what has been written in the press, Destro and I had a great relationship for most of our lives together. Like all long-term relationships, we had a few downs and ups.

I took the heat  because that's what I was supposed to do. I did not plead no contest for any other reason but to protect our privacy and was advised it would end the press hype.

I don't want to belabor knocking the press, but I can't believe what is being said. Most of it is totally made up. I know you have a job to do, but as a last wish, please, please, please, leave my children in peace. Their lives will be tough enough.

I want to send my love and thanks to all my friends. I'm sorry I can't name every one of you, especiallyMikhail. Man, thanks for being in my life. The support and friendship I received from so many: @Grin, @CoconutRandy,EvilClown, Slash, @tiggy, @jeddy. I wish we had spent more time together in recent years. My competitive writing buddies: Goldust,Ronin, Zapata, TheMeTooMovement, Hypno, K_W, @CLO, @Scooter, @NotoriousBIG, thanks for the fun.

All my crew members over the years: @Viktor, you were the soul of my career. @Booogie, I never stopped being proud of you. @BelleCorsica, you've got a great lady in @Callisto, don't mess it up. @Blackboard, thanks for always being there. RJFuller and Prem, I love you guys. Without you, I never would have made it through this far.

Post_Malone, thanks for the early years. We had some fun. @Homer, what can I say? You are special. I'm sorry I'm not going to have, we're not going to have, our chance. God brought you to me, I now see. As I leave, you'll be in my thoughts.

I think of my life and feel I've done most of the right things. So why do I end up like this? I can't go on. No matter what the outcome, people will look and point. I can't take that. I can't subject my children to that. This way, they can move on and go on with their lives.

Please, if I've done anything worthwhile in my life, let my kids live in peace from you, the press.

I've had a good life. I'm proud of how I lived. My mama taught me to do unto others. I treated people the way I wanted to be treated. I've always tried to be up and helpful. So why is this happening?

I'm sorry for the Goku family. I know how much it hurts.

The Soviet State and I had a good life together. All this press talk about a rocky relationship was no more that what every long-term relationship experiences. All my friends will confirm that I have been totally loving and understanding of what she's been going through.

At times, I have felt like a targeted Mafioso, but I loved it; make that clear to everyone. And I would take whatever it took to make it work.

Don't feel sorry for me. I've had a great life, great friends. Please think of the real Commissar. and not this lost person.

Thanks for making my life special. I hope I helped yours.

Peace and love, CommissarZ.
