Hi @Theleekycauldron: thanks for the review! I've fixed the paraphrasing issue. How does ALT2 sound? BuySomeApples (talk) 00:50, 28 August 2021 (UTC)

ALT2:... that Anthony "Big Tony" Ciulla had to enter the United States Federal Witness Protection Program after he testified in a trial about rigged horse races?

@BuySomeApples:

good to go! All three hooks are approved, although despite the effort to make one about the WPP, ALT1 is my preference. Something about the words "massive horse-fixing enterprise" which I just love. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 01:07, 28 August 2021 (UTC)

I do appreciate that you humoured my hook suggestion, that was kind of you :) theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 01:07, 28 August 2021 (UTC)
