Kingpin

2018 - PresentTV-141h 23m8

The journeys of some of the most well-known names in the world of crime, and a look at how they began as unknown thugs and transformed into globally notorious kings of crime.

The ancient traditions of Roman "tribute tax" and the loyalties of the Italian Mafia, are destroyed by the American brand of La Cosa Nostra. Backstabbing and betrayal of the boss of bosses, Paul Castellano (Brilliantly portrayed by Joseph Leone) completely destroys organized crime. Old fashioned American competition for power and money drive Mr. Gottii's crew in the well-publicized story that heralded the end of an era in front of Sparks Steakhouse. Shakespeare's account of Julius Cesar proves that history repeats itself.
