--------
Dominick Cicale, a former Bonanno mafia captain, recently shared insights into his rise within the organization and financial accomplishments. Upon becoming an official captain, Cicale's crew expanded to 27 men through internal promotions and repositioning as other leaders were incarcerated. His crew was divided into earners and shooters, following a directive from Vinny Basciano, who decided that only earners would be taxed, while shooters putting their lives at risk would be exempt.
Cicale revealed that within five years, he amassed approximately $10 million, primarily through legitimate ventures such as real estate and construction. Despite his earnings, he faced internal struggles, including dealing with Vinny's compulsive gambling habits which nearly cost Cicale $1 million. Personal drama also intertwined with his mafia responsibilities. Vinny suspected Cicale’s daughter's mother of exposing his extramarital affairs to his wife, leading to threats of violence, which Cicale had to manage discreetly to protect his family while maintaining mafia loyalty.

I was born in '75 and grew up in NY in the 80's-90's. It is TOTALLY MIND BOGGLING to me to see former mafia cats doing interviews about their past life. Crazy!!!! I guess there's a lesson to be learned though; for most people, this type of life leads to nowhere eventually.

[@anthonyrobbins9778]

Why guys in the mob have been giving interviews since the early early 80s starting w Jimmy Frattiano

[@agsdjklshadsabn]

yeah, the videos are entertaining dont get me wrong but i can't help but feel like it's pathetic to sit down and start doing interviews sharing every detail, like if you want to leave that stuff behind then fine but why do you feel the need to put everyones business out there when it's behind you? what do you gain other than publicity? and why do you want publicity if you left it behind for a good reason? these people are all rats and still trying to profit off of the old version of themselves it's sad and feels pathetic to profit off being the big bad guy yet sit here in a suit and answer questions like a civilian employee
