Summary

On the 10th episode of the Sit Down, Jeff and BlackJack delve into the twisted tale of Carmine Persico. Carmine got started in crime early and was a murderer by 17. He worked his way to the top of the Colombo Crime Family after commiting a big hit and creating wealth for the family. He also took the family through wars all while in prison. His end would blindly come from his loyalty to his blood family and his idiotic decisions late which would prove costly and cost him his freedom forever.
