The FBI Agent Who Infiltrated the Mob-Giovanni Rocco

[@anam8886]

For those of you that haven’t seen this yet - I wish that I were you so that I could experience this story for the first time again. I ordered his book, which should be here some time next week, and I can’t wait until I get to read about new details that were not heard during this interview. Mark, this is by far hands down your best interview yet. Giovanni, you’ll go down as one of the greats.

[@Serote_Kaiba]

This was like listening to a movie

[@margopack6343]

Agree 100%

[@samtheeagle799]

This was the story of a man who was inspired by The Sopranos, and about all of the interactions he had with CRIMINALS, pretending to be a CRIMINAL, because he enjoys the idea of being a CRIMINAL. None of the 4 hours is about helping others, it's not about the greater good, it's about his ego, because that's what allows him the talk constantly for 4 hours. When are people going to realise that criminals are sociopaths, they're willing to kill and hurt others for their own personal gains. But still all everyone sees is the Sopranos ha ha ha, which ironically is the best insight into sociopathy.

[@anam8886]

@@samtheeagle799 Did you even watch it? It’s not about this at all. Also, what this man did undercover (take criminals off the streets who are trafficking drugs and k*lling people) was a huge sacrifice. He spent YEARS undercover to acquire necessary information to put the real bad guys away. Watch the entire video first and then comment.

John who ran the waterfront married into a part of my family and was a true gentleman. John used to take my grandfather out on his boat to fish. My grandfather was a Navy man during WW2 and loved to go deep sea fishing. John also went by another name around town. Anyhow, one Bayonne to another, thanks for your service and your sacrifice. By the way, did you go to St. Andrew's? I grew up there around the same time as you. I was on the East side. So I know the MC you're talking about. I used to pass by their clubhouse when I was little to go to a little coffee shop across the street for sloppy Joe's as a little boy.
