If you and I, John, we go kill somebody and you come up to me or I come up to you,

whether it be a month, a year, 10 years later, and I give you any inkling to talk about that murder,

you're supposed to look at me either I'm wearing a wire or I'm cooperating.

That's the first thing I was taught by the Genevice.

It's easy to take a thug and make

him a businessman. But you can never make a businessman a thug. They just don't have it in them.

What's up, everybody? I am so excited to bring you today's guest, Dominic Sicale. He was a captain

of the banana crime family in the Bronx. He is the first made man we

have ever had on The Connect. He was the real deal. At one point, he had 27 mafia soldiers

under his command in New York City. He gave us some wild stories about being a wise guy in federal prison.

And he even told us about an active contract that's still out on his head. And then he told

us about what he's doing now. He's a legitimate millionaire, great businessman. He's got a book

out called The Perfect Crime Family by Dominic Secalais. Go check that out. Link in the description. He's got a vodka line, E.G. vodka. And of course, we've got a bonus episode with them over at Patreon, patreon.com slash The Connect show. Look, I could go on and on, but you guys are going to love it. So let's just get into it. Without further ado, Dominic Secalay, right here on The Connect with Johnny Mitchell.

They met in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, at the meeting spot.

When he got out of the car, he said, all right, Ace, where do we have to go?

And Ace just pushed him and fired some shots into his chest.

And then they came down.

They arrested me.

Ace went on the run.

They went on the arresting Ace. That's the that penalty on me. That's when I see lights behind me start to flash. And I didn't even think, I just hit it. I was driving like my life depended on it. Then I parked the car, popped out, closed the door, and I started running. And he pulls out a burner, shang, it's like six six inches and he passes it to me and he goes here

that's yours don't ever leave the cell block without this he was the reason i made it out of

that place alive so this is a special podcast i'm really excited that you came out here because
