Summary

On this episode of the world famous Sofa King Podcast, we hop over The Pond and talk about one of the most famous organized crime families in London. This is Ronnie and Reginald Kray. The Kray Brothers were a hyper-violent duo who ran a criminal underground known as The Firm. Their business focused on protection, money laundering, and night clubs. They ran things differently than many criminal organizations and thrived on the spotlight, fame, celebrity status, and a penchant for incredible violence. They were both bisexual and open about it at a time where it was illegal and would get you killed. So, what celebrities did they hang out with? How did a gay sex scandal make them untouchable? Which one of them was a paranoid schizophrenic? What violent line did they cross that finally brought them down? Listen, laugh, learn.   Visit our Sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kray_twins#Ronnie https://www.eastlondonadvertiser.co.uk/news/kray-family-fury-over-gay-jibe-for-helgeland-s-hollywood-3474074 https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/article/kray-twins-legend-tom-hardy https://thekraytwins.fandom.com/wiki/Ronnie_Kray https://thekraytwins.fandom.com/wiki/Reggie_Kray https://www.buzzfeed.com/sam_cleal/secrets-of-the-krays-things-i-learned https://www.mylondon.news/news/east-london-news/kray-twins-east-london-still-20649537 https://www.historyhit.com/facts-about-the-kray-twins/
