The Shocking Story of Mafia Hitman Greg Scarpa: Mafia Wars, FBI Deals, and a Deadly Secret
Greg Scarpa lived in two worlds at once, a feared Colombo family hitman with a reputation for violence, and a secret FBI informant who used federal protection to tighten his grip on the streets. This episode follows Scarpa from his childhood in Brooklyn to the bloody Colombo wars, his shadowy partnership with FBI agent Lindley DeVecchio, and the corruption that surfaced long after his death. This is the story of the man they called the Grim Reaper, and how his double life rewrote the rules of organized crime. __________ ⏳ Timestamps: 00:00 Intro: The Insane Story of Greg Scarpa 00:33 1928–1940s: Early Life in Brooklyn 02:17 1950s: Entry Into the Colombo Crime Family and Early Family Life 04:21 1950s–Early 1960s: Rise as an Enforcer and Hitman 06:36 1962: Armed Robbery Arrest and First FBI Deal 08:31 1964: Mississippi Burning Case and Illegal Interrogation Work for the FBI 10:48 1966: Second Mississippi Operation and Breakdown With the FBI 12:55 1975–1980: Years Without FBI Contact 14:51 1980: Renewal of FBI Deal Under Agent Lindley DeVecchio 17:26 1980s: Informant Activity and Protection From Prosecution 20:04 1986: HIV Infection After Ulcer Surgery 22:12 1991: Attempted Murder During the Third Colombo War 25:08 1992: Civil Lawsuit Settlement and Firearms Arrest 27:08 1992: Shootout With Lucchese Mobsters and Loss of an Eye 29:13 1993: Guilty Plea and Sentencing 31:12 1994: Death in Federal Custody 32:59 1995–2007: Posthumous Revelations About FBI Corruption 35:54 1990s–2017: Aftermath for the Scarpa Family __________ 🔴 Subscribe to our channel! ➡️ / @reddoorclub 🔴 Join the membership to support the channel directly! ➡️ / @reddoorclub __________ I do my best to research every video thoroughly, but sometimes information, images, or reliable sources are limited.
