Over the next four episodes Joe Poletto will be talking with Larry Mazza, a former Colombo family member, heavyweight bookmaker, loanshark and Greg the Grim Reaper Scarpa’s right hand man and closest confidant. Larry was seduced first by an older woman who was the second pseudo-wife of the Grim Reaper and then finally by the life itself. After serving a 10 year sentence, Larry went on to write a book called “The Life,” where he pulls back the curtain on the hidden world of La Cosa Nostra. Larry exposes the criminal society of the New York Mafia, a world based on deceit and greed and he gives insight into learning that his mentor Greg Scarpa was an FBI informant for over 30 years.
