"Mr. Rigoletto has retired. His books have been acquired by my employer.Clyde Farnum and James Wesley
Being an infamous crime boss of New York City, Don Rigoletto was approached by Bill Fisk who was desperate for money to financy his campaign for city council. Rigoletto loaned money to Fisk, however, when his men came to collect the payment, Fisk disappeared from the city. Rigoletto assumed that Fisk's campaign failed and he was unable to pay out his debts, so he ran away from the city.[2]
Eventually, Rigoletto and his wife were massacred, while Wilson Fisk took control over all of his property and operations in the city. All Rigoletto's debtors were now in Fisk's pocket, as he coerced Clyde Farnum, who owed Rigoletto money, to assassinate Karen Page in her cell.[1]
