Summary

On Episode 46 of the Sit Down, Jeff and Blackjack delve into the life of NE PA boss Russell Bufalino. Bufalino was among the most powerful people in the history of the mob who got his start in Buffalo learning from the likes of people like Maggadino. He ultimately would take control of the NE area of Pennsylvania and create powerful connections and become a very rich man. He ultimately made his foray into Cuba and forged a relationship with Jimmy Hoffa, one that would present issues in the end. He would be portrayed as well many years later by Joe Pesci in the award nominated film, "The Irishman." A great episode, we hope you enjoy it. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PLEASE give us a follow on socials!
