Gene Borrello joins Vlad to break down how the American Mafia has changed, pointing to the 2013 Michael “Mikey” Meldish killing as the last known mob-ordered murder, tied to Lucchese figures Matthew Madonna and Steven Crea. The conversation also revisits Gregory Scarpa Sr. and Jr., the FBI informant era, the Colombo family wars, and the complicated rules around cooperation, prison proffers, and organized crime cases. Borrello explains why fewer murders, shootings, robberies, and life-sentence cases have reduced the pressure for mob members to become informants. Vlad and Borrello also discuss Scarpa’s role in civil-rights era investigations, “Mississippi Burning,” KKK interrogations, Terry Nichols and the Oklahoma City bombing, plus Mark Wahlberg’s upcoming “By Any Means Necessary.” A candid look at old-school Mafia violence, today’s “dried up” mob landscape, and why the code has changed.
