Episode Details

Mob legend Vito Genovese murdered his way from a tenement in Naples to the pinnacle of American organized crime—and then blew it all with one fateful summit in rural New York. From Coney Island hits and fascist alliances to running a transatlantic empire, he rewrote the rules of the underworld. But his bid to crown himself “boss of bosses” at Appellation brought down the first real heat on Cosa Nostra—and set off a chain reaction no one saw coming. His story is a masterclass in ruthless strategy… and the fatal flaw that every powerful man fears. 0:00 Introduction 1:25 Vito Genovese: The Done Who Tried To Be A King 3:21 Chapter 1 - From Naples To New York 6:16 Chapter 2 - Architect Of Murd*r 9:28 Chapter 3 - Exile And Reinvention 11:39 Chapter 4 - The Power And The Plot 16:21 Chapter 5 - Downfall And Legacy 20:08 Epilogue - The Architect Who Collapsed His Own Empire Backbone Media Group
