Summary

We hear a lot about former Gambino underboss and his cooperation against John Gotti and other members of the Mafia in New York City. That said, several years after his cooperation Sammy was given a new lease on life in Arizona. Gravano doesn't talk much about his involvement in a large narcotics trafficking ring involving his family that resulted in a long prison sentence. Let's delve into this case! Some of the info from this video comes from first hand accounts of journalist David Holthouse and the indictments at the state and federal levels against Salvatore "Sammy The Bull" Gravano and his family.

Jeff Nadu is an American Mafia researcher, podcaster and content creator. He has worked at Barstool Sports and was hired personally by Dave Portnoy. His podcast "The Sitdown" with Jeff Nadu has put out hundreds of biographies on various mobsters, gangsters and criminals. He's also personally interviewed mobsters like Sammy "The Bull" Gravano, Dom Cicale, Anthony Ruggiano Jr, Gene Borrello and others as well as US Prosecutor John Gleeson and FBI Agent Joaquin "Jack" Garcia.
