Carmine “The Snake” Persico Told Me to Cut His Ear Off | Ep. 173 part 2

Sammy “The Bull” Gravano tells the story of the first contract Carmine “The Snake” Persico ever gave him inside the Colombo crime family — a brutal order to beat a man, cut off his ear, and bring it back. In this live Q&A, Sammy also breaks down why Neil Dellacroce refused to bless the Paul Castellano hit, how John Gotti used Frank Locascio as a “human sacrifice,” whether Roy DeMeo was more brutal than Gotti, and how Sammy went from the Colombo family to becoming underboss of the Gambinos. Real mob history from the man who lived it.
