Donnie Brasco: Undercover In The Mob (Mafia's Greatest Hits)

Former FBI agent Joe Pistone, who infiltrated the Mafia for six years as Donnie Brasco, reveals how his undercover work led to more than 100 convictions - and resulted in the death of underworld figure Dominick `Sonny Black' Napolitano.

A couple? Try 12. And they were kicked off the commission.

[@Tank4Life]

They literally didn't come back stronger. In fact, foreign mobsters have taken over. You literally have no idea what you're talking about. Beyond that, knowing the exact structure and chain of command was invaluable. Virtually thr entire syndicate in New York is gone thanks to the work Pistone did.

The strange thing about interviews with Joe Pistone, whom I don't doubt at all, is that the stories he tells in his interviews are different from the way he tells them in his book. Maybe he can talk more accurately after so many years.

[@rickjames8317]

Perhaps. Maybe he admits to, omits, or makes up details that suit the story that he's telling at the moment. In his line of work, he had to be a professional liar. I think that it's hard to discern the line between fact and fiction with anyone who participated in what he did.

[@vladimirputinforUSA]

He also has to make sure he doesn’t say any law that he broke. And we all know he definitely committed crime, how you running with mobsters for 6 years and never broke a law

[@adamirishconundrum851]

In the book he was hanging out with the Jilly crew pretty long after the incident and he hit both Frankie and Patsy, Jilly was the only made guy in the crew.
