Anthony “Gaspipe” Casso: The Underboss Who Killed His Own

He was one of the most feared underbosses in the history of the American Mafia. He ordered murders with the casual efficiency of a man checking items off a list. Then, when the FBI finally closed in, he became the most damaging informant his own family had ever produced. Anthony "Gaspipe" Casso served as underboss of the Lucchese crime family through the bloodiest period in New York organized crime history. He survived an assassination attempt that should have killed him, ordered retaliatory hits that destabilized all five families, and kept two corrupt NYPD detectives on his personal payroll. When he cooperated, his testimony was so extensive prosecutors ultimately rejected it as too unreliable to use. This is the story of the man too violent even for the American Mafia. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔔 New mob history every week → Subscribe Now ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📂 WATCH MORE: ▶ Carlo Gambino: The FBI Got Nothing → [   • The FBI Bugged His Home for 20 Years. The ...  ] ▶ Albert Anastasia: The Barber Chair Hit → [   • The Barber Chair Hit: Why the Mob Turned o...  ] ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Dark Street Files explores the true stories behind America's most dangerous crime families — the hits, the betrayals, the power struggles, and the figures who shaped organized crime history.
