The Life and Crimes of Mafia Boss Vincent Gigante

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This true crime biography chronicles the life of the so-called "Oddfather" who ran a powerful NYC crime family while playing crazy to avoid prosecution.

Vincent "Chin" Gigante was a professional boxer before discovering his true calling as a ruthless contract killer. When Vito Genovese went to prison, he picked Gigante to run the Genovese crime family in his absence. While raking in more than one hundred million for the family, he routinely ordered the murders of mobsters who violated the Mafia code-including John Gotti.

At the height of Gigante's reign, the Genovese Family was the most powerful in the United States. And yet he was, to all outside appearances, certifiably crazy. He wandered the streets of Greenwich Village in a ratty bathrobe and slippers. He urinated in public, played pinochle in storefronts, and hid a second family from his wife.

On twenty-two occasions, Gigante admitted himself to a mental hospital-evading criminal prosecution while maintaining his nefarious operations. It took nearly thirty years of endless psychiatric evaluations by a parade of puzzled doctors for federal authorities to finally bring him down.
