--------
In this clip, Vlad reflects on his previous interview with Sammy the Bull, an ex-mobster who admitted to killing 19 people, including his brother-in-law. While Sammy denies being a serial killer, he admits to being a mass murderer, justifying his actions by stating that his victims were all members of the Mafia and not women or children or "innocents." Mike Campi and Dan Dorsky discuss Sammy's light sentencing: just five years in prison. They suggest the lenient sentence was a strategy to encourage other mob members to come forward and expose the secrets of organized crime. By rewarding cooperation, law enforcers could use criminals like Sammy to dismantle organized crime. Interestingly, they argue that the more intelligent criminals are often the ones who cooperate, realizing they do not want this life for their future or their family. The interview also discusses Vincent "the Chin" Gigante's trial for racketeering, shedding light on the hypocrisy and treachery of mob life.
