If Bonanno crime boss Thomas (Tommy D) DiFiore was trying to eat his way out of jail, he was done in by Pringles and peanut butter.
DiFiore, 70, has been desperately seeking bail since he was arrested on extortion charges in January, claiming his Type 2 diabetes is raging out of control.
But DiFiore broke a cardinal rule of canny mobsters, leaving a trail of commissary purchases that showed he's been stuffing his face with junk food high in sugar and carbs.
The damning evidence came when federal prosecutors called in a surprise witness at DiFiore's bail hearing last month in Brooklyn Federal Court — Dr. Robin Edwin of the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.
