The Insane Story of Mafia Hitman Greg Scarpa: Mafia Wars, FBI Deals, and a Deadly Secret

Greg Scarpa lived in two worlds at once, a feared Colombo family hitman with a reputation for violence, and a secret FBI informant who used federal protection to tighten his grip on the streets.

This episode follows Scarpa from his childhood in Brooklyn to the bloody Colombo wars, his shadowy partnership with FBI agent Lindley DeVecchio, and the corruption that surfaced long after his death. This is the story of the man they called the Grim Reaper, and how his double life rewrote the rules of organized crime.

I do my best to research every video thoroughly, but sometimes information, images, or reliable sources are limited. Because of that, some details may occasionally be inaccurate.

In addition, certain moments may include light embellishments for storytelling or atmospheric effect.
