Summary

On Episode 48 of the Sit Down, Jeff delves into the life of Genovese boss Vito Genovese. Vito was an egomaniac drunk for power and would attempt to systematically eliminate all the competition to be the boss of all bosses. He came from humble beginnings, made the right connections but it was never enough. He wanted all the power and it would end for him in embarrassment.
