Summary

Welcome to Crawlspace. In this episode, Tim Pilleri & Lance Reenstierna have a fascinating conversation with new friend and first time podcast producer, Eddy Inserra. Eddy tells the story of his grandfather, Fred Pastore, who worked tirelessly for the IRS in the 1950's and 60's, investigating top level mafia members until he was forced out by the Kennedy administration. To exact revenge against the IRS and the government, Pastore began a career representing those he previously worked to put away.
