This theory stems from the episode 'members only', where eugene pontecorvo dons a similar jacket and gives a secretive look when mocked. In the show’s final episode, “made in america,” the man in the members only jacket becomes a focal point of tension and symbolism His presence is notable not just for his distinctive attire, but for being the only patron who makes direct eye contact with tony soprano. The guy in the members only jacket may well have killed tony soprano But he may also have been connected to the fbi, as eugene pontecorvo was, and wearing eugene’s jacket was intended as a signal to tony that the feds were closing in on him. Eugene pontecorvo is shown wearing a members only jacket and is made fun of for it by vito spatafore
Virtually all who say 'yes' subscribe to the theory that it was done by the man in the members only jacket (as he is listed in the credits), and the article usually cited to support the theory is this one. Paolo colandrea is best known for his role as man in members only jacket, a character featured in the finale episode of the sopranos It is believed by many that tony soprano was killed in that final scene, and that the man in members only jacket was his killer.
