Скачать или смотреть The Ralph DeLeo Story | How a Snitch Became the Most Unlikely Mob Boss Ever

Ralph DeLeo's journey is one of the wildest rides in Mafia history. Born in Arkansas, raised in Somerville, Massachusetts, and eventually named acting boss of the Colombo crime family, his story defies every mob rule.

In this deep-dive episode of Real Mob Stories with James Proctor, we explore DeLeo’s chaotic early years as a clumsy thief, his ties to the Patriarca family, and the prison escape that led to a murder-for-hire gone horribly wrong. But here's the twist: DeLeo cooperated with law enforcement before he was ever in the Mafia. So, does that make him a rat?

Join us as we break down his prison friendships, especially with Colombo heir “Little Allie Boy” Persico, and how this Boston outsider somehow became the street boss of a New York crime family. Was he a ghost leader? A pawn in the Persico power game? Or something more?

This is a story of crime, survival, betrayal, and reinvention.
