I’ve never done this before—never had another made guy on my platform. But today, I’m sitting down with Dominic Cicale, former Bonanno family captain.
We get into the parts of that life most people never understand. The camaraderie we miss. The respect that came naturally. The money you could get with a phone call. But also the betrayal, the politics, and why we both walked away from it all.
Dom opens up about his biggest regrets, the cooperation decision that haunted him for years, and how he’s building something completely different now—a crypto project that’s already up 600% since launch.
This isn’t Hollywood fiction. This is two guys who lived it, survived it, and turned their lives around talking about what really happened behind closed doors.
If you’ve ever wondered what it was actually like—not the movie version, but the real thing—this is the conversation you’ve been waiting for.
