John Stanfa was an old school Sicilian mobster who emigrated to the US in the 1960's. He began his career as a fairly lowly mobster before becoming a driver for Philly mob boss Angelo Bruno. After serving prison time in the 80's, Stanfa found a spot to wiggle his way in power of the Philly Mob and it would eventually lead to a war on the streets of Philadelphia between two rival factions, one led by Stanfa and one led by Philly upstart gangster Joey Merlino. In the first 15 minutes of the show we delve into some relevant Mob news.DISCLAIMER: My videos and podcasts are meant for entertainment and educational use.
