Good evening, this is your host, Dan Zupansky, for the program, True Murder, the most shocking

killers in true crime history, and the authors that have written about them.

The last of the old world mob bosses and the ultimate betrayal.

For more than 20 years, Joseph Big Joey Masino ran what was called the largest criminal

network in the U.S., employing over 250 made men and untold numbers of associates.

The Banana Family was responsible for over 30 murders, even killing a dozen of its own

members to enforce discipline and settle scores.

Joey Masino would be brought down by Salvatore Good-looking Sal Vitale, the underboss who

was not only Masino's closest and most trusted friend, but also his brother-in-law.

In the end, facing the death penalty and the prospect of leaving his family penniless,

Masino started talking to the FBI, the first mafia godfather, to break the sacred code

of America, and the end of the century's old tradition.
