The Real-life Tony Soprano

Tony Soprano’s real-life New Jersey prototype was a frightening hitman who separated business and suburban family life perfectly. Was a freelance assassin and international contract killer with a wife, 3 children, Swiss bank accounts, a businessman cover, and 200 bodies to his name. This is the rags to middle-class-ish Jekyll-Hyde, murder for money, family-man, contract-killer story of The New Jersey assassin known as The Iceman: Big Richie Kuklinski. Historians Joe Wojie and Britnee Smith are joined by Historian Ted Sisco, Ethics Professor Tim Collins, and Psychologist and Horror Writer Frank Jakoweicz.
