Dominick Cicale shared the extraordinary tactics employed by Mafia boss Joe Massino, marking a historic turn in the Mafia underworld. As the first Mafia boss to ever wear a wire, Massino's cooperation with federal prosecutors was unprecedented. He was facing a life sentence after being convicted of multiple homicides and sought a strategy to negotiate leniency. Cicale recounted how Massino deceived both his own men and the prosecutors by fabricating a plot to assassinate the federal prosecutor in his case. Massino planted the idea that Vinny Basciano, another high-ranking Mafia member, was orchestrating the hit, provoking federal concern and creating leverage for himself. Massino's calculated move misled prosecutors into accepting him as a key cooperating witness, despite his failing a lie detector test.
