Former FBI agent Frank Storey sits down with Vlad to recount his early years in federal law enforcement, from becoming an agent in 1965 to chasing fugitives, stolen cars, and bank robbers in Asheville, North Carolina. Storey describes a tense near-shootout during a bank robbery arrest before transferring to Gary, Indiana, where organized crime tied to Chicago influenced gambling, prostitution, and local businesses around the U.S. Steel town.

The conversation then moves to New Orleans, where Storey worked cases involving the Marcello crime family, including gambling, extortion, electronic surveillance, and arrests of Mafia figures. He also details the frightening night his car was firebombed outside his home, an incident his supervisor believed may have been retaliation for his work. Storey explains how fellow agents responded by visiting suspected Marcello associates with a clear warning. A candid look at FBI organized crime investigations, Mafia pressure, and life inside high-risk federal cases.
