Today on Crime & Entertainment I had the privilege of speaking with Chris Colombo, the son of the late Joe Colombo Sr. You might remember the name Joe Colombo as a prominent figure in Italian-American history. Back in 1971, a tragic event unfolded during a massive rally at Columbus Circle when Joe Colombo Sr. was shot. Chris, who was just 9 years old at the time, witnessed this shocking incident. After that period of his life Chris would go on to become one of the most successful bookmakers in New York City, taking 100's of 1000's of dollars of action a day.  After a brief stint in prison Chris is now taking the podcast world by storm with his own show Taking Action with Chris Colombo. The Link can be found below. Chris cover sports picks, interviews with celebrities and he warns the youth of América about the dangers of sports betting. This is a fantastic interview with one of the most powerful speakers I've ever had on this show. Enjoy!!!!

Becoming a made man during the 1950s, LoCascio was a bookmaker and loanshark for the Gambino family. Later on, he was promoted to caporegime of a crew in the Bronx, New York. After the December 1985 assassination of boss Paul Castellano, Gotti became the new Gambino boss and LoCascio joined his inner circle. When underboss Joseph Armone went to prison in 1987, LoCascio became acting underboss; When Gotti reshuffled his administration later on, promoting Salvatore "Sammy the Bull" Gravano to Armone's position, LoCascio became acting consigliere.

On December 11, 1990, LoCascio was arrested alongside Gotti and Gravano and indicted for racketeering. At the time of his arrest, LoCascio was still publicly identified as the Gambino family's underboss. At this time, Gravano decided to become a government witness and testified against his former associates. On April 2, 1992, LoCascio was convicted on racketeering and conspiracy charges, as was Gotti. On June 23, 1992, both Gotti and LoCascio were sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. When asked to comment at his sentencing, LoCascio made the following remarks:

"First, I would like to say emphatically that I am innocent... I am guilty though. I am guilty of being a good friend of John Gotti. And if there were more men like John Gotti on this earth, we would have a better country."

What was Frankie like in real life you ask?

Ricardo "Richard" Leyva Muñoz Ramirez dubbed the Night Stalker, the Walk-In Killer, and the Valley Intruder since his attacks were first clustered in the San Gabriel Valley, was an American serial killer and sex offender whose crime spree took place in California between June 1984 and August 1985. He was convicted and sentenced to death in 1989. He died in 2013 while awaiting execution.

Ramirez's highly publicized home invasion and murder spree terrorized the residents of Greater Los Angeles and later the San Francisco Bay Area over the course of fourteen months. However, his first known murder occurred as early as April 1984; this crime was not connected to Ramirez, nor was it known to be his doing, until 2009. Ramirez used a wide variety of weapons and different murder methods, including handguns, various types of knives, a machete, a tire iron, and a claw hammer. He punched, pistol whipped, and strangled many of his victims, both with his hands and in one instance a ligature, stomped at least one victim to death in her sleep, and tortured another victim by shocking her with a live electrical cord. Ramirez also frequently enjoyed degrading and humiliating his victims, especially those who survived his attacks or whom he explicitly decided not to kill, by forcing them to profess that they loved Satan, or telling them to "swear on Satan" that there were no more valuables left in their homes he had broken into and burglarized.

A Hollywood writer and producer is currently suing HBO claiming that the network stole his concepts for a TV show. Jack Piuggi, who owns Flipp Productions, claimed that after stealing his concepts, HBO eventually went on to produce two shows for the network called Fake Famous (HBO) and FBoy Island (HBO Max) which were based off of Piuggi's original ideas. This is a cautionary tale that robbery is not necessarily limited to the streets. In the business world, you can be robbed millions of dollars with just the scribble of a pen.
