Episode 65: Carlos Marcello Jul 06, 2022

Show notes

On Episode 65, Jeff delves into the life of New Orleans mafia boss Carlos Marcello. Marcello was a man of small stature with very little education who ascended to the top of the Mafia in America. He amassed an unbelievable fortune, and literally controlled the state of Louisiana. He had tremendous power and in my belief, the mastermind of the assasination of JFK and possibly others. A long episode this week, but a lot to cover. ENJOY! PLEASE give us a follow on socials!
