“Mafia Takedown” by Mike Campi

My copy’s arriving soon. Looking forward - Campi worked with D’Urso who flipped on the west side.

Anyone read already? Any interesting stories?

Currently about two-thirds of the way through it. It's good, I'd recommend it. I'll share some things I thought were interesting when I've finished it.

I was worried when I saw at the front that some passages had been redacted by request of the FBI and some names had been changed. However, two thirds in the redactions seem minimal and, as fas as I can tell, intended to obscure details of surveillance methods. The only name that has been changed so far as well seems to be the FBI agent who D'Urso accuses of coercing him into sex and withholding funds from him.

There's lots of good excerpts of D'Urso's tapes too.

It sounds really good. Looking forward to giving it a read.

I just started the book. When you skip the mafia history and mafia misperceptions/romanticized, you start at the history of the Oddfather - which I read. Then Mike's way into the FBI - I skipped. Overall, I started 20% in accounting for the same old rehash. Still, I'm optimistic for the remainder.
