--------
Dominick Cicale detailed how he rose in the ranks to become a made man and captain for the Bonanno family. He explained how he got into selling drugs at a young age before a shooting led to his first stint in prison. Throughout the interview, Cicale broke down mafia and prison politics, including how he became affiliated with the Bonannos despite being originally connected to the Genovese. Cicale talked about the value and perks members enjoy for being top earners, as well as how he ran his crew. However, Cicale also offered insight into the case that sent him to prison the last time and all of the betrayal and deceit that occurred. To hear more of Dominick Cicale's street tales, check out the full interview above.

[@larrylampshade1734]

To be fair a lot of it is to give some context to the audience, like an assumption that the viewer doesn’t know anything about the lifestyle. It’s pretty common in interviews to state the obvious and then allow the interview subject to elaborate.

Not a big fan of vlad but he’s providing context as well as making sure what he’s saying is correct in doms eyes. He’s not telling him how the mafia works, he’s telling him so don can either agree or correct him based on his views of the life. That’s how interviewing works kiddo. 🤦‍♂️ You ask questions and dig deep. Otherwise it isn’t entertaining.

Whereas the American mafia makes interesting listening, I spent many years in Palermo, and it is like a playgroup in comparison. These days the N’drangheta is replacing them, and they are not what they once were,, but the solemnity of the real mafias is a completely different world. The influence of the US mafia is also still very prevalent. Interesting story though.
