Welcome to the conclusion of a special two part show with fan favorite, former Gambino Family Mobster turned mafia historian and international bestselling author, Louis Ferrante. 

Mr. Ferrante grew up in New York City and became entangled in the Gambino crime family. He was eventually arrested and served almost ten years in prison. While he was incarcerated, he taught himself to write, and he fell in love with books. He promised himself that he would someday become an international bestselling author, and he did!

Louis Ferrante is an international bestselling author, including his newest book, Borgata: Clash of Titans: A History of the American Mafia: Volume 2 of the Borgata Trilogy. He is also a global speaker and television host for Discovery Networks International. His books have been translated into twenty languages and his television series has aired in over 200 countries and territories around the world.

Please enjoy this conversation where we discuss the head of the Kennedy clan, Joe Kennedy and his affiliation with the mob, his manipulation of American Politics that led to his sons John F. Kennedy becoming president and Bobby Kennedy becoming attorney general and both of their eventual assignations. We also dive into the hatred between FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover and the Kennedy’s. We also discuss mob and union bosses Jimmy Hoffa, Sam Giancana, Carlos Marcello, Florida don Santo Trafficante and a host of other prominent mafia characters.

In today’s episode we discuss:.

·      J. Edgar Hoover, The Kennedys, and the mob. 

·      FBI conducting illegal wiretaps and other illegal activities regarding the mob.

·      The mob and the bay of pig’s connection.

·      The United States hiring mafia hitmen to take out Fidel Castro.

·      The Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby connection with the mob.

·      J. Edgar Hoover withholding information on the John F. Kennedy assassination that could have saved his life.
