Episode 173: Frank Coppa

from The Sit Down: A Crime History Podcast · host Jeff Nadu

For the entire history of the Bonanno Crime Family up until 2002, the Mafia group NEVER had a cooperator in their ranks. That was until July of that year when family capo Frank Coppa decided to flip and testify against the upper echelon of the Bonannos. Coppa would directly testify against boss Joseph "Big Joey" Massino as well as various others. He was extremely destructive to the future of the Family. Coppa lived a wildly interesting life and had been around the Mob since his early 20's. DISCLAIMER: My videos and podcasts are meant for entertainment and educational use.
