	Wanting to get rid of the cocaine now in his possession, Vinnie started to find an outlet for it. [[Sonny Bellini\|Sonny]] directed him to [[Tom Cortini\|Tom]], who offered to help get the drugs onto the market. Vinnie had his men run a background check on Tom, however, no information was found.

[[Sonny Bellini\|Sonny]] directed him to [[Tom Cortini\|Tom]], who offered to help get the drugs onto the market. Vinnie had his men run a background check on Tom, however, no information was found.

	Vinnie hires JERRY BURR in October to take the unmarked packages of cocaine from him to TOM. During the transaction, which takes close to 2 months, Vinnie monitors SONNY, JERRY, and TOM and soon finds out that TOM is actually Chicago Policeman LT. Jake Calvin, undercover. Sending some of his guys out to kill SONNY and JERRY (only to hear they managed to elude his men), Vinnie kidnaps MARIA from her and JERRY’s home and uses her as bait. At Vinnie’s warehouse atop CAMBIARE ROCK, he awaits for JERRY and SONNY’s arrival. Once they do, Vinnie confronts them, only to have SONNY confess Vinnie’s connection to ANTHONY JR.’s parents’ death after being shot accidentally by ANTHONY. ANTHONY, angered about the truth, threatens to kill Vinnie, but is instead shot and “killed” by Vinnie himself as part of an angered driven rash moment. JIMMY enters and purposes a deal to work with Vinnie as his new bodyguard, claiming that his “good guy” persona was just an act. Vinnie tells him that the only way he’ll believe him is if he kills JERRY. While JERRY and JIMMY are running around the warehouse, Vinnie thinks about all that’s happened and momentarily breaks down in the stairs leading up to the third level of the warehouse. He reaches the third layer in time to confront JERRY and end everything. He, in turn, is shot in the back once by MARIA, free of her restraints. A second shot, throws him over the railing, only to be caught by JERRY, who refuses to let him fall. Vinnie comes to peace with his life and actions and nonverbally pleas for JERRY to let him go. Vinnie’s hand slips and he falls three stories to the warehouse floor where he dies.		Vinnie hires JERRY BURR in October to take the unmarked packages of cocaine from him to TOM.

	Vinnie was born in Brooklyn, New York to immigrants [[Vito Sporteino\|Vito]] and [[Maria Lorenzo Sporteino\|Maria Sporteino]]. His parents rarely talked about where they came from, and whenever young Vinnie would ask he would be told to mind his own business. Soon, Vinnie grew more and more curious about his family's heritage as he heard other boys and girls his age often proudly discussing where they came from, and the family they had "back home".

			Vinnie had an older brother, [[Francis Sporteino\|Frankie]] (b.1948) and a younger sister [[Angela Sporteino\|Angela]] (b.1953). His older brother went missing during the Vietnam War after having been there for almost a year. His younger sister had a good relationship with him, as he often would protect her from the neighborhood bullies (ultimately leading to the creation of "The Family"). Vinnie lost touch with Angela when he fled New York, but she found him in the late 80's and they remained penpals until his death.
