Why Did The Mafia Kill Their Own Money Maker?

Mafia's Greatest Hits offers a thrilling look at the world of organized crime, government surveillance, and the betrayals that brought down some of the Mafia's most powerful figures.

00:00 Allen Dorfman
Dorfman was a key figure in the Mafia's financial empire. Dorfman controlled the money, manipulating the Teamsters' pension fund to finance Mafia-run casinos in Las Vegas. The FBI began an extensive surveillance operation on him in 1979, uncovering his critical role in Mafia dealings and illegal operations.

49:42 Donnie Brasco
The Donnie Brasco case refers to the FBI's undercover operation in which agent Joseph D. Pistone posed as a jewel thief named "Donnie Brasco" to infiltrate the mafia. Pistone spent six years within the Mafia, gaining the trust of mobsters like Sonny Black and Lefty Ruggiero. His work provided invaluable intelligence on Mafia activities, including drug trafficking, illegal gambling, and other rackets. The operation was so successful that Brasco was even proposed for membership in the Mafia, but the FBI eventually pulled him out for his safety. The case was one of the most significant undercover operations in law enforcement history.

1:40:02 Carmine Galante
Carmine Galante was a feared mobster in the Bonanno crime family, known for overseeing the family's heroin trafficking operations. Galante's rise made him a target within his own family, and in 1979, he was assassinated in a hit orchestrated by his own mob associates. He was killed while dining at a restaurant in Brooklyn, a sign of his increasingly isolated and feared status within the Mafia.
